Hello Doctor, My Mother is suffering from severe knee joint pains and her weight is 85kg with age 54 yrs. She is in stage 3 arthritis and no other illness. She has pain continuously and can walk maximum of 100meters. Is it good to go ahead with Knee Joint replacement surgery? Can you please advice, thank you in advance, Kiran
