Hello,
As she is having OA knee, I will advice to take an MRI both knees. See the soft tissues inside. If damage is not so prominent then knee replacement will not be advised. Also, doing physiotherapy will help her improve overall condition and physical functions. Recent studies shows that with exercise there is major functional change noted in cases with OA.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thank you.
