   @srujana setty,

   Sickle cell causes multiple infarction of the bone which can be invaded by Salmonella which it otherwise is unable to do in healthy bone.

   @manikchandra tiwari,

   While you should hope for the best and with bone grafting chances of union increase tremendously, only time would tell.

   What is the latest?

   Motorcyle accident at age 8 to medial aspect of Rt. Knee. Injury was Aug. 1978. Can’t obtain records and difficult to assess the injury now 33 yrs later via Xray and MRI. Possible dispaced medial femoral condylar fracture/break. Had surgery to repair in ’78, scar is barely detectable medially, developed OA of medial compartment at age 17. Exercise has been the answer ever since. Now a bone spur is developing medially and having bouts of inflammation q 2-3mo despite vigorous exercise. Have great cartilage, plenty of space between femur/tibia, excellent tendon strength and health with no laxity of the ACL. I’m a health nut and take all of the supplements: glucosamine,chondroitan sulfate, msm, hyaluronic acid, boswellia, white willow bark, etc. Bought a cane for future flare-ups and a custom Donjoy OA offloading knee brace.

   Have had two bouts of PRP injections (platelet rich plasma) into the joint space. Only 3 wks and 1 wk ago. Still no pain or flare-ups.

   Question: What else can I do to avoid knee replacement before I’m 50?!

   @Ben L,

   I think you are already taking a lot of care yourself. Do you have any symptoms?

   Apart from age, weight is a risk factor for developing or worsening the OA.

   I assume you are already managing the second factor.

   All the best.
