According to Dr. Dheeraj Dubay, the decision depends on joint damage severity, pain levels, mobility, and response to non-surgical treatments.

Dr. Dubay, an experienced orthopaedic surgeon, emphasizes understanding when surgery is appropriate versus managing knee arthritis through other methods to maintain quality of life.
