Depends on who you ask. The most reliable results are from the National Joint Registries (from Australia, Britain, and Sweden), which say the DePuy PFC sigma or Zimmer Nexgen (but not Nexgen Flex).

Can knee replacement get a cortisone shot?

I have often heard about cortisone injections as an alternative to knee replacement but it is un heard of to have injection after the knee replacement. What is the logic behind it? Usually injections are taken to subside the pain that arise from contact of arthritic articular surfaces of knee bones. But when knee replacement is already done I do not see a reason for cortisone injection. At the same time if there is sudden severe pain in your knee after replacement surgery doctor might give you a shot of knee injection. Another possibility is if you have partial knee replacement and non operated compartment of your knee joint troubling you. Hope it helps.
