I avoided knee replacement with fetal stem cell injections. I still had some cartilage. The stem cells stimulated regrowth
I've been fully functional and pain free for 5 years. If you're brave switching to a vegan diet will eliminate knee arthritis pain in 2 weeks. My husband had a double knee replacement after he developed bowed legs. He did extremely well and returned to work part time within 2 weeks, full time in 3 weeks. He did intensive residential rehab. He was off pain meds in 6 days despite having both knees replaced at the same time. My stem cell injections were completely covered by my husband's Tricare for life. Talk to an Orthopedic surgeon or pain management doctor about stem cells. I don't know about the side approach. Many people believe it is an easier recovery because not as many muscles & ligaments are cut. In any case best of luck. Last, PT before replacement will help condition you to recover faster. PT will not replace the need for new knees.
