A member asked:
What are the complications if i delay having a knee replacement as the knee does not restrict my movement ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Knee replacement: The best person to ask is your surgeon. Beyond that, a lot depends on your age and estimated amount of time the replacement will last. Again, your doc will know the latest statistics on that. Downside is pain for you, upside is maybe you will need it replaced only one time. Peace and good health.
