Rt was the scope done before or after the recommendation for a total joint? Sometimes we do a scope and find much worse wear than imaging implied. If we already know it is there we typically don’t do scopes because we know no matter what we do in there it won’t help long term. Revisions are always trickier than primary replacements. My suggestion is get revision first, then once r3covered do the other. One in the early spring then one in the fal to give yo7 a summmer off

The recommendation was both before and after the scope.
In 1972 I had a car accident that damaged both knees but my right knee never bothered me before last year. I was surprised when the doctor suggested a replacement as until then it never bothered me.
Captain127,
Thank you so much for your input.
