How Many Knee Replacements Successful First Time? How Many People Have Had Four Knee Replacement Same Knee?

A lot of first knee replacements are successful. Do research on the surgeon. Get a second opinion. Follow the surgeon’s instructions EXACTLY. There are many types of
knee prosthetics that can be used. Ask the surgeon which
one he usually uses and research it on line. Good luck

Knee Replacement 7 Years Ago. Bothering Me Now. Is The 2nd Replacement Any Easier Than The First?

My knee now hurts all the time. The first replacement was caused by a fall and shattered knee cap. Very painful recovery. Was told new knee would be good for seven years. Is now hurting. Anyone had a second replacement?
