mmmm bertyboy not a silly but a confusing question
I would have said....thinking of mils knee as she had that replaced that cause it was prosthetic there was no oa there any more.
Then again I could most certainly be very wrong
good question to get us all thinking

Berty what a good question, I would have thought that they get rid of all the worn away bone...but Im not sure if it could come back or not....hope its not.Love

Berty...
l have often wondered about this.....if Oa affects cartilage....which l thought it did :?
they only replace the joint so...wont it still be there??? not hurting because the joints are not 'you'...??? What an interesting one this is should we put it to the helplines???
Love
