KNEE ARTHRITIS - Total Knee Replacement :

post op 10 or more years? - - Posted by ginger47 (ginger47), 16 December 2004

Hi
I had my LTKR operation 1yr and 2months ago and feeling pretty good, I am about to go into hospital and have my RTKR done in January I was just wondering if there was anyone out there who has had there knee replacement done more than 10 years and how there knee is now as I am 51 and feeling a bit frightened of what may happen when my artificial knees start to wear out again.
I know they can do a revision on them but it seems they are not so successful.
please let me know
