How many years is a knee replacement good for?

Published in Knee Replacement Longevity 1 min read

A knee replacement is typically good for between 15 and 20 years for the majority of patients.

According to research, 85% to 90% of total knee replacement patients can expect their new knee to last within this timeframe, assuming a successful operation and recovery. However, some knee replacements can last longer (beyond 20 years), while others might require medical intervention sooner.
