Thanks for the info.

I'm so glad I joined this group. You guys have been so helpful in preparing me for my TKR. I hadn't given all that much thought to how things would be after I got home. I really appreciate your sharing your experiences.

Re: Re: Questions -I am also young

I'm wondering what happens if part of a cementless implant fails. If the bone has grown into the stem of the implant, how could they extract it? >>> It's removed just the same.... only cemented implants tend to loose more bone as a result. That's why most physicians perfer cementless implants if it's at all feasible in their case... because patients can get to the point that there isn't bone destiny enough to do anything more during revisions.
