I am sixty four years old.I had standing x ray test four years back and was advised to do osteotomy.Of course I opted for a total knee replacement when the time comes.Now four years later I can harly walk for more than ten minutes,do you advise me t proceed with total knee replacement at this stage?if I do not do much walking I have no pain at all.

Your advise will be appreciated.
