Does anyone know which is the best(?) knee replacement device? Or where such comparative information might be found? Also, when in the process of decline in a knee that has been diagnosed as "bone on bone" should the knee replacement be done. Early or when the knee's functioning is fully deteriorated and the pain is no longer bearable?
Does anyone know where the best rehab following knee replacement can be found or where such information can be obtained?

Look into the Zimmer Gender Solution. This knee is specifically designed for woman.

I've been told it's time for a knee replacement. My PCL is completely disrupted and has been for 30 years, am I still a candidate for a partial versus total knee replacement?

I've read about the zimmer, it has not been outlong enough for there to be adequate long term results. I'm thinking the Stryker Triathelon might be a bit better/still small for a woman's knee but has a longer track record. I have a also found through my obsessing online that the best outcomes occur with orthopedic surgeons who do many knee replacement operations/year in the same hospital. but you have to ask what their experience with complications have been.
