I just listened to this and I am asking your opinion. I am 80 and I have a severe meniscus tear and moderate to severe arthritis. I also have severe arthritis throughout my entire body. Surgeon suggested a robotic procedure to clean up my knee. I am afraid it will last maybe 5 or so years and then they will need to do a knee replacement when I will be older. I am a female about 150 lbs. I am ( was) pretty active before I suddenly had something happen where I had severe pain where I couldn’t walk. I have had 2 cortisone injections . The first did almost nothing. The second gave me some relief but I rarely have a day pain free and come close to falling because my knee is unstable. Will the robotic surgery help that or should I go straight to the knee replacement or get get a second opinion? Looking forward to your opinion.
What about Cartilage Paste Graft with Microfracture for arthritis patients over 50 years old? There's a few doctors specializing in this.
Thanks, guys.
