Knee replacement is recommended if symptoms of knee pain is severe enough to restrict daily activities and mobility is restricted. If other things like physiotherapy, pain killers and lifestyle changes have not made any difference, then surgery is recommended. There are a wide variety of implants available, the success of a majority of which depends on how familiar the surgeon is with the implant. Costs vary to a large extent between hospitals. Better to speak to others who have had surgeries and get feedback from them.
