    For most people the knee replacement would last more than 15 years, and it may last as long as 20 or 25 years or more. There is, however, a small risk of failure at any time after knee replacement surgery for various reasons. These will be discussed in detail at your consultation.

    Dr Cohen takes certain steps to improve the chances of your joint replacement lasting a long time, including:

    Choosing a prosthesis with proven results based on The Australian National Joint Replacement Registry Results
