can knee be repalacement?
Currently they are getting about 15-25 years out of them depeding on your level of activity. The plastic meniscus that is inserted can be changed out easily, where as taking out the metal hardware is much more difficult. The plastic meniscus can just be slipped out and replaced if it is worn out, however in the less active/ elderly population who get their knees replaced in their late 70’s you are probably not looking at the knee wearing out in their lifetime.
