Her knee OA is really grade-4 but isolated medial compartment osteoarthritis.
Try intrarticular steroid injections , although they are most likely to fail but still give it a try.
She can be benefitted by High tibial osteotomy . It is a procedure that can delay TKA or uni-replacement by 10-20 years by offloading the medial compartment.
