Depending upon her symptoms …. We can try visscosupplement injection (oil Inj) if that can give relief …. If the pain or discomfort persist then TKR ( total knee replacement) should be considered

The goal is to treat the patient, not the X-rays.
If she is not able to do the day to day activities, and has severe pain, then surgery is advisable.
Should go for hot fomentation and physiotherapy.
