How long do I expect my Knee Joint to last?

 

 

Knee replacement surgery is a complex surgical procedure in which a diseased part is replaced with prosthetic implants made up of metal, plastic, and ceramic. These implants can too wear out over time. In general, common types of knee replacements can last from 15 to 20 years.

With different types of knee replacements and countless different types of patients, there is no rule to define how long a knee replacement will last in a particular individual. Although, some of the factors that determine the longevity of implants are as follow:

π‘·π’‚π’•π’Šπ’†π’π’•π’” π’‚π’ˆπ’†: Younger patients are more active and require more years out of their knee replacement. Patients who have a knee replacement in their 50s or younger can usually expect to require a revision knee replacement in their lifetime.

π‘¨π’„π’•π’Šπ’—π’Šπ’•π’Šπ’†π’”: Some activities may not be appropriate for patients with a knee replacement as they may put excessive stress on the knee replacement, causing the parts to wear out more quickly.
