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
• 1Your needs, based on your knee problem
  and knee anatomy, as well as
  your age, weight, activity level, and general
  health
• 2Your doctor's experience and
  familiarity with the device
• 3The cost and performance record of the
  implant

Are You a Candidate for a Total Knee Replacement?

• Surgeons recommend knee replacements most often
  for individuals age 55 to 70.
• Thats 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
  theres less bone to support the implant.

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, theyre 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.
