An X—ray showing gap between bones may represent joint degeneration or osteoarthritis. Initial options might be non-surgical, which may include physical therapy medications and lifestyle modifications. But if the joint damage is severe and affecting day to day function, possibilities like knee replacement surgeries may be suggested. Therefore, it is essential to contact an experienced orthopedic surgeon who can evaluate the individual condition, offer possible choices and offer tailored recommendations depending your mother’s health condition
