Get 2nd or 3rd opinion. a friend’s dad who was in his 80’s needed a knee replacement. 2 doctors wouldn’t operate on him. She found a Dr that would operate and he did great.

I may have over-imagined my orthopedist's possible reluctance to give a 80-year-old fellow with PN a TKR. I believe he would do, but with assurances from me that I'd be super-diligent about maintaining good balance. He knows I've been an active guy all of my life and am still of a weght and physique that would suggest at TKR, even at 80, would be an okay thing to do.
