Hi everyone I am looking into the face of a TKA in a week and a half. I am only 29 years old and I have to admit im a little nervous about it. Im just wondering how common it is for someone as young as me to have the TKA done. Anytime I hear of someone having it done thay are much older than I am. I know revisions have to be done and im wondering how long the prosthesis is supposed to last before a revision is done! My doctor told me that he is using a new prosthesis that studies are showing could last up to 25 yrs. I trust him 100% but I am just wondering if someone on here that has had it done can tell me how long theres lasted before the revision came? Thanks for any info you can give me.
