Yes, at 90 you are looking at alot of risks on top of health, and past medical issues. You first have to go with her wishes. If she is unable to make the decision make the best choice for her, not what you want. The doctor will give you the options ahead. Remember quality of life is greater than quantity. Ensure she is pain free. As for ambulation there are other means to help. Physical and occupational therapies can help learn and build new ways of getting around. Good Luck!
If she is in fair health , I would not be so quick to say that she would not survive. Pretty routine these days and the recovery is so much quicker, if she has been living in excruciating pain all these years , it could give her motivation and happiness for several more.
The individuals current health status and could reap even few active healthy enough and could reap even few active painfree walking and have seen firsthand how crippling osteoarthritis in separate surgeries and painful that long.
