Hello doctor,
I am a 72-year-old female, my doctor suggested knee replacement surgery one by one or both knees together. I can walk up to 109 to 164 yards only and I cannot take stairs or sit down at a place. The pain is also there, because of which I want to go for surgery. I am afraid that because of the knee replacement, I will be able to walk again or not. Please suggest whether should I go for surgery or not. I need a second opinion because of some reasons which are:
1. What is the success rate of surgery above 70 years?
2. Which one is better for my age group, robotic knee replacement or manual knee replacement?
3. Shall I go for one by one knee replacement or both knees together?
4. Pros and cons of knee replacement at this stage which are more?
