How Long Does a Knee Replacement Last?

Are you considering knee replacement surgery? You might be surprised to learn that over 82% of knee replacements last for more than 30 years. The lifespan of a knee replacement is now comparable to a hip replacement, offering long-term relief from knee pain. But how long does a knee replacement last, and what factors can affect its longevity? In this video, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon Philip Brady discusses the key factors that can impact the success and durability of your knee replacement, including: • Age: Younger patients tend to be more active, which can place more stress on the knee. • Weight: Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for a successful outcome. • Post-Surgery Activity: The right level of activity is essential for strengthening the muscles around the knee. Learn why delaying knee replacement surgery can lead to muscle weakness and reduced mobility. If you have been advised to consider this option and have exhausted all non-surgical options, you shouldn’t have to compromise your quality of life. If you’re living with persistent knee pain that is affecting your daily life, it’s time to take the next step. Talk to your GP or physiotherapist about an assessment to determine if a consultation with an orthopedic surgeon is right for you.
