My dad had both his done at age 87. Had them done about a month apart. He was wheelchair bound prior to the surgery, and now can walk like someone half his age. Two things to pay close attention to. The doctor who does the surgery, check him out and know what his or her success rate is. Find out the names of past patients and call them and ask questions. We have two local docs that do knees, one sucks big time and the other is wonderful. I'm sure you know which one Dad used. And second, after the surgery you will have therapy. It may seem silly and mundane but if you work really hard at it (yes there is pain involved) the results will be excellent. In talking with the therapist, he said some folks think that just because the knee was replace they are good to go, but said those that don't work hard at the therapy many times are no better off after surgery than they were prior to surgery. So in a nut shell, I say go for it but know your surgeon and complete your rehab and you should be climbing back up on your tractor pain free in a few months.
