Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello ,

Arthroscopy will be good option.
In arthroscopic shaving damaged cartilage is smoothened and loose friable cartilage is removed.

Avoiding steps and using western style toilets etc would be helpful.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
