You make almost no sense.

Changing pushups into a 1 arm exercise would be nearly a whole totally new thing.  So to the extent that what you are saying is even true, it seems to not really be about pushups.

I'm not changing pushups at all. I am only doing 1 arm pushup for few days and submitting my report. Such conditions help me learn new things and satisfy my need to do regular pushups. I don't do it hard at all, I just break my knees like the picture above. I try to do it as much as my body can handle. Once my hands are fully healed I will be doing pushups with both hands and hopefully will be able to do 100 pushups in 5 sets a day like before.

My new report -

Thanks for the explanation.  I largely stick by my earlier comment, but yeah it is up to you to do what you believe to be best including if you believe that you are doing something that is sufficiently similar or if it is even worth it (or a good exercise to be doing) to do 1 armed pushups - instead of waiting for recovery or maybe some other substitute kind of exercise that might not be so lopsided.. and yeah, maybe I am being a bit too judgmental in regards to what is sufficiently related to pushups.. 

Yes, I had already known that 1 armed pushups exist, both in terms of the Rocky style pushups, and I had linked to that earlier in the thread.. but also surely there are likely folks who might be handicapped in some ways that might do various kinds of substitute exercises that might include something like a 1 armed pushup - though surely there might be better exercises depending on the kind of handicap that a person might have.

And sure, if you are doing the one-armed pushups from your knees then it might be more feasible (and less of a strain) than trying to do a full body pushup (with one arm), and  also there may well be some ways to do one armed pushups against the wall in order to do more reps again to the extent that 1 armed pushups are even reasonable to do or that maybe sometimes if people do things that are straining their body then they could get injuries, so it would be up to you if you are engaging in activities that are straining your body more than it is helping - especially since it is lopsided like that and you might be better off to wait until you are sufficiently recovered. but yeah, again, that is on you, and I already expressed a bit of judgmentalism in regards to the matter.... which truly you know the particulars of your situation better than me, and I found the whole matter a bit weird, as I have already expressed, now in two posts... and surely other guys might not agree with my making a BIG deal out  of your consideration that one armed pushups is a reasonable substitute for pushups.. We did have Phlipma in here doing planks for a while and no one (except me) was really complaining (or harassing him) about that.
