Dear Sir It all depends on your condition of your knee at present. Basically there are three grades of Osteoarthritis. Grade 1 in which there is reduction of joint space 10 to 20%,Grade 2 in which there is reduction of 50 to 60 % and grade 3 in which there is 80 or more than 80 percent reduction so first of all we will have to see in which grades your knees are?
