Does Knee Replacement Surgery Have Any Alternative Means Of Treatment?
My knees are bone on bone and I am looking at knee replacement surgery. Recently I was told about another procedure where something in injected into the knee to replace the missing cartilage. Should I go ahead with the replacement or would I do well to look at this other treatment?

you need to undergo knee replacement surgery as your condition is advanced Arthritis( bone on bone). In early Arthrosis when the degeneration is patchy and good range of movement is preserved, Hylan G-F 20 Inj would have been beneficial to you.
Now best is Total Knee Replacement.
