Re: I am 28 yrs old with a TKR question?

[Guest guest]

I had my tkr in May and my surgeon told me they are expecting 30 years out of

their knees now, providing someone is not engaging in contact sports or high

impact activities like jogging. So I don't think you should expect that any

damage has been done to your new knee.

26. I know I am really young, but my knee was so bad that my surgeon said if we

wait, it could be harder for him to do. My knee was becoming deformed due to

arthritis. I was just curious on how much damage could have been done to my new

knee in just 2 years? Does anyone know how strong that bone cement is? ANY info

would be great!!!

I¹d add that previous estimates for previous models have proven to be

conservative: that is, appliances that were only supposed to last 10 years

have lasted in most cases a lot longer than that. I¹m suspecting that

you¹ll be nearly 60 before you have to consider this business again.

,

Is the reason for your question because you are having problems with your knee?

I understood from the book I read that the glue is strong enough they only use

it on the elderly, (like me) who might not need another knee.

I am 28 yrs old with a TKR question?

Hello all,

My name is and I am 28. I received a total knee replacement in 2008 at

26. I know I am really young, but my knee was so bad that my surgeon said if we

wait, it could be harder for him to do. My knee was becoming deformed due to

arthritis. I was just curious on how much damage could have been done to my new

knee in just 2 years? Does anyone know how strong that bone cement is? ANY info

would be great!!!

Thanks,

- I was 26 when I had my knee replacement (I'm 52 now). Mine was

not cement way back then. Its held up super (knocking on wood). I did

have to get the plastic liner replaced in it after 10 yrs. The replacement

liner was actually twice the thickness of the first liner they put in.

There's not much I can't do with it.
