Hello,
I would recommend performing knee replacement surgery, even though you are too young. You may need another surgery after 20 years, to replace your prothesis but you will still be young again (73 years old is not considered a high risk surgery). You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
