Knee Replacement Surgery

How Long Can My Knee Replacement Last?

It is important to know how long the knee replacement implants can last in one’s knee and provide good knee function.

In a “Long-term follow-up of a non-randomised prospective cohort of one hundred and ninety two total knee arthroplasties using the NexGen implant.” Panni et al found the implant survival rate (overall) was 94.7% at the latest follow-up with minimum follow-up of 15 years post-implantation.

In recent publication entitled “Implant Survivorship and Complication Rates After Total Knee Arthroplasty With a Third-Generation Cemented System: 15-Year Follow-Up”, Sartawi et el followed up 99 patients who had undergo total knee replacement for 15 years. The 15 year implant survivorship was 98%.
