Being an arthroplasty surgeon myself, I want to inform you that knee replacement is never an emergency surgery. It is an elective surgery and can be done at the patients convenience.
Next Steps
Static quadriceps and hamstring strengthening exercises and knee cap will help
Health Tips
She’ll eventually end up with total knee arthroplasty sooner or later, but it’s not an emergency
