Hi
I think without x ray difficult to comment. And mri is not possible as you have steel in your knee.
But from my experience of you still have pain get that partial knee replacement converted to total knee replacement to get the good results. Get it done by experts who has experience of doing it as a part of revision surgery.
Get well soon.
Thank you.
