Knee replacement has changed quite a bit in the last ten years. The knee is now less invasively segmented and replaced than it used to. In some cases, no ligaments or tendons have to be severed in the process of replacing the knee itself, which allows for more rapid healing post surgery.

How long will a total knee replacement last?
It depends on how YOU take care of your new knee. It could last up to 15 years. The factors that count are your weight, activities, like walking, swimming, biking are all good but you should avoid jarring activites like running, tennis (singles), snow skiiing, ice skating...discuss activities with your doctor. Due to the nature of the replacement wearing out at some point the medical people like to wait as long as possible with your age so that you will not have to go through a revision surgery, after the parts wear out.
