"Too young" is an insane judgment call on the doctors' part. My mother had both her knees replaced in her late 50s, at which point she was already so far gone with respect to the rest of her joint mobility in her back and lower body that she was walking with a cane years earlier. Now she can barely walk at all, despite the titanium knees. Maybe if they'd done it a decade earlier she could have rehabbed for a far better quality of life.
