Hello dear
You did not tell the cause of paralysis
And in paralysis which surgeon would suggest you replacement baring in exceptional conditions. As post op rehabilitation requires good muscle conditioning for walking

Any how's as far as other options are considered their are variety of other options depending upon the degree of osteoarthritis of knee
Solutions available are corticosteroid shots to viscossuplementation shots and medicines to treat osteoporosis which also cause pain independently
