How Long Do Joint Replacements Last?

Hip and knee joint replacements are typically very successful, allowing most patients to resume an active lifestyle free from joint pain. However, while prosthetic joints are built to endure a long time, they do not last indefinitely. As a result, if you're a young active person thinking about getting hip or knee surgery, there's a chance you want to know more about, "How long will my new joint last?". Dr. Cory Calendine, Orthopaedic Surgeon discusses what we know so far about the survival rates of hip and knee replacements.

PRP Injections for Knee Arthritis

PRP injections for knee arthritis offer a promising alternative for patients seeking relief without surgery, using your body's own healing mechanisms to reduce pain and inflammation. This comprehensive guide explains how platelet-rich plasma therapy works, what to expect during treatment, and why many patients experience 6-12 months of improved function and pain relief. Learn about the science behind PRP, success rates showing 60-70% of patients benefit, how it compares to steroid injections and other treatments, and whether you're a good candidate for this innovative approach. With proper recovery support and realistic expectations, PRP therapy can help you return to activities you love while potentially delaying or avoiding knee replacement surgery.
