I would absolutely try stem cell therapy or similar before having a knee replacement if my other knee should get to that point. No matter how good the artificial knee works, and in my case it works extremely well, super flexible, occasional aches when overdoing things, or big weather changes, otherwise just fine - it is not the same as your original. Unfortunately, no surgeon will tell you about alternatives, and I did not do enough diligent research to know about them.

Glad to hear your TKR worked for you. I agree, its not the same. All my surgeon said was my scar tissue looked good. 5 years later he said it appeared lose. I went to another surgeon and he said he did not think so. So i bike a lot. Walking is not fun.
