NEW BLOG POST: How long does a knee replacement actually last?

A landmark systematic review in The Lancet has analysed over 300,000 knees to give us strong insight.

The key finding: 82% of total knee replacements last 25 years.

But here's the critical perspective that often gets overlooked: The implant is a solution for worn cartilage, NOT for the sub-optimal movement patterns that caused the wear in the first place. Ignoring weak or stiff hips, a restricted ankle, or a stiff spine may compromise your new knee's longevity - just like it may have your original knee.

For those interested, I've summarised the study and this essential clinical insight in a new blog post.
