An orthopedic surgeon specialized in knee injuries (Sport Medicine) would be the best to Consult.
IMHO Talk to the Orthopedic Surgeon about the options of various treatments.
Get a second or third opinion before going through a surgical intervention.

Synvisc-One[SUP][/SUP] (hylan G-F 20) is an injection that supplements the fluid in your knee to help lubricate and cushion the joint, and can provide up to six months of osteoarthritis knee pain relief.
[h=2]What is Synvisc-One?[/h]
In knees with osteoarthritis, the joint fluid (called synovial fluid) can break down and not provide the cushioning your knee needs.
Synvisc-One supplements your knee joint fluid to relieve the pain and improve the knee joint’s natural shock absorbing abilities.
A. Cartilage wears away B. Bone spurs may develop C. Joint fluid breaks down
D. Synvisc-One replaces joint fluid
[h=3]What is Synvisc-One made from?[/h] The injection contains a gel-like mixture made from a substance called hyaluronan (pronounced hy-al-u-ROE-nan) that comes from chicken combs.
Hyaluronan is a natural substance found in the body and is present in very high amounts in joints. The body’s own hyaluronan acts like a lubricant and a shock absorber in the joint and is needed for the joint to work properly.
[h=3]How do I know if I’m ready for Synvisc-One?[/h] Synvisc-One is for people with knee osteoarthritis who have not received enough pain relief from diet, exercise and over-the-counter pain medication. If you’ve tried these options and are still feeling knee pain, tell your doctor and ask if Synvisc-One could help.
[h=3]How is Synvisc-One given?[/h] Synvisc-One is a single-dose treatment that is injected directly into your knee by a doctor. To watch a video of a real patient’s injection, click here.
[h=3]Who provides Synvisc-One?[/h] Synvisc-One is usually administered by a specialist trained in treating knee osteoarthritis, such as an orthopaedic surgeon or rheumatologist.

[h=3]Indication[/h] Synvisc-One[SUP][/SUP] (hylan G-F 20) is indicated for the treatment of pain in osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee in patients who have failed to respond adequately to conservative non-pharmacologic therapy and simple analgesics, e.g., acetaminophen.
[h=3]Important Safety Information for Synvisc-One[/h] Before trying Synvisc-One, tell your doctor if you have had an allergic reaction, such as swelling of the face, tongue or throat, respiratory difficulty, rash, itching or hives to SYNVISC or any hyaluronan-based products. Should not be used in patients with an infected knee joint, skin disease or infection around the area where the injection will be given, or circulatory problems in the legs.
Synvisc-One is only for injection into the knee, performed by a doctor or other qualified health care professional. Synvisc-One has not been tested to show pain relief in joints other than the knee. Tell your doctor if you are allergic to products from birds – such as feathers, eggs or poultry – or if your leg is swollen or infected.
Synvisc-One has not been tested in children (≤21years old), pregnant women or women who are nursing. You should tell your doctor if you think you are pregnant or if you are nursing a child.
Talk to your doctor before resuming strenuous weight-bearing activities after treatment.
The side effects sometimes seen after Synvisc-One include (<2% each): pain, swelling, heat, redness, and/or fluid build-up in or around the knee. Tell your doctor if you experience any side effects after treatment with Synvisc-One.
