Dear Friend
Welcome to HCM.
It all depends on what disease you have and since how long.
If you have severe osteoarthritis you might need a total knee replacement.
If you have a ligament tear it can be repaired by arthoscooy.
You have not mentioned what is yiur age , sex , duration of your illness. How it started.
I advise you to meet an orthopaedic surgeon , he would review you and if required get an imaging followed by appropriate treatment.
Good luck
