Dear sir /madam
I would suggest if you are able to do your daily activities or house hold activities or can use public transport you can wait for replacement, and go for knee physio, do quadriceps strengthening exercises,
Implants now a days are very much improved and having nice outcome even for more than 20 years and you need not worry about the wear and tear of implants.
