How long can a patient with osteoarthritis, joint problems, and grade 2 meniscal injury survive without a joint replacement surgery?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

Surgical intervention will depend on the findings from the X-ray, which I have not reviewed yet. Additionally, the level of pain experienced, especially if it is not improving with medication, is a crucial factor to consider. To provide you with accurate suggestions, please upload and send me your X-rays for review. Arthroscopy and joint replacement are two available options, but their suitability will depend on the X-ray results. In recent times, joint replacement models like oxonium (zirconium) implants have been developed, which have a lifespan of up to 30 years. Therefore, surgery can be considered at this time. However, it is important to note that the longer she waits and the older she becomes, the more challenging the surgery may become due to potential comorbidities. Please note that the professional advice I have provided is based solely on the information provided to me and is subject to the actual examination of the report or image. It should be correlated with clinical findings.

I hope this answer helped you,

Thank you.
