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.
Next Steps
Seek opinion from more than one person to be certain.

Hello...... The damaged part of the joint is removed from the surface of the bones, and the surfaces are then shaped to hold a metal or plastic artificial joint...Old age, diabetes, hypertension are all the factors affecting recovery of knee replacement.. Take second opinion before going for surgery..
