Just saw on the news last night an alternative to knee replacement which involves separating the knee joint by (I’m guessing here) about 1/4” so it is no longer bone on bone. The separation is achieved by screwing in an articulating brace connecting the femur and tibia. It was a quick story so didn’t get specifics but an interweb search could probably locate the technology.
