Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
You can go ahead and get knee replacement. It is a easy and effective surgery. You can get it done at any place where it is done routinely and surgeons are expert. Do not worry as after surgery you will be totally pain free. At our center we routinely do TKR for avn and results are good.
