For a 70-year-old experiencing severe knee pain, knee replacement is a viable option, and it's often considered a life-changing procedure to improve mobility and reduce pain. A comprehensive consultation with an orthopedic surgeon specializing in joint replacements is the first step to determine if it's the right choice, and they can guide you on the best package options for both knees.

My mom has had osteoporosis and arthritis for about ten years and now her doctor is recommending knee replacement because her knee joints are rubbing together. Given her osteoporosis, is knee replacement still a safe option? Also, how would the implant stay in place if her bones are weak from the porosis? She's otherwise healthy with no diabetes or other issues.

I recommend starting with physiotherapy and painkillers to manage your condition. If there's no significant improvement after a reasonable period, we can then consider surgical options.
