How To Treat Gaps In The Joints Of Knee?

Hello Doctor,
My mother got knee pain on both legs.. Not able to walk long. The X-ray shows that joint bones got gaps.
For this, she has to undergo a surgery to fill the gaps through metal plate of Bone cement. I need to know how long it will persist and whether she can do the normal work like walking on steps. Also please suggest how much cost it will take to go for this surgery on both legs and how long it will take to come normal after the surgery and whats the name of this process.
Age: 58
No other diseases like sugar, pressure, Heart attack.
Treatment: Just pain killer tablets.

-Thanks
Ponkali.
