  1. Knee Replacement Implants www.kneeandjointsurgery.com

  2. What is knee replacement implant During knee replacement surgery, an orthopaedic surgeon will resurface your damaged knee with artificial components, called implants. • There are many different types of implants. The brand and design used by your doctor or hospital depends on many factors, including: 1]Your needs, based on your knee problem and knee anatomy, as well as your age, weight, activity level, and general health 2]Your doctor's experience and familiarity with the device 3]The cost and performance record of the implant

  3. Are You a Candidate for a Total Knee Replacement? • Surgeons recommend knee replacements most often for individuals age 55 to 70. • That’s because younger patients experience higher failure rates and their knee replacements wear out sooner. • Over the course of a decade or two, the prosthesis wears down. • As a result, the younger you are when you have your initial surgery, the higher the likelihood is that a revision (replacement) surgery will be needed in the future. And, unfortunately, revisions are often less effective because there’s less bone to support the implant. 

  4. Clinical Outcomes and Statistics of Knee Replacement • 90 percent of people who have a knee replacement have a lot less pain. Most of these people are able to perform daily activities and stay active. In many cases, they’re able to resume activities like golf and walking that their arthritic pain made them give up years ago. • A total knee replacement (TKR) is also known as a total knee arthroplasty (TKA). It relies on a mechanical implant to replace your actual knee.
