Dear Somnath Banerjee ji,

Yes, you can get a second opinion before total knee replacement in Kolkata. If a doctor has advised you to replace your knee joint, you do not need to make the decision immediately unless your doctor explains that your condition needs urgent treatment. Another orthopaedic or joint replacement surgeon can review your X-rays, examine your knee, and tell you whether knee replacement is necessary or whether other treatments help.
