HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Sorry for your wife's health, the surgical treatment is there but it can only be taken in hand when major joints affected like knee, elbow , and that is joint replacement surgery, so patient can walk easily, if she can walk without having any difficulty in walking, then there is no need for surgery
