My Acl Knee Replacement Is Now 10 Years Old….how Long Should It Last?

I had my Anterior Cruciate ligament completly renewed back in May ‘96.
One of the first ever done by Mr (Dr) John Fairclough.
I think it’s now stretched and is giving me knee instability.
ie dislocations which bloody hurt…!!
Obviously no excercise can help as it’s an artificial ligamemt.
Question really is should it have lasted forever?
I paid £5000 for the last operation and there is no way I could afford this again!
Also doubt the NHS would operate on an ex. private operation?
Any ideas please?

How Long Does A Total Knee Or Total Hip Replacement Last?

I know that it depends on usage and that everyone is individual but do you know in general how long they are supposed to last? I had a total hip done in Feb and just had a TKN (knee) done 6 weeks ago. I’m doing VERY well for a knee replacement and I’m VERY happy about that. But I never really asked my doc(s) about how long they work till they wear out requiring revision surgery. I’ve HEARD from 10-20 yrs but is there something more exact out there? I’m female, 44, osteoarthritis, hepc, asthma, and bipolar if that helps. Anyone? Do you know? Any serious replys (or guesses!) are greatly appreciated!!!!!! Thanks a bunch in advance.
