I had a hinged knee replacement July of 2024. It was my last option after 3 failed knee replacements, one with infection and one that I broke my femur. I did everything to heal the break, so here I am. My PT had never heard of, or seen a hinged knee before.
Tell me what you are most concerned with in going forward.

How is your knee now? After my mom had multiple surgeries on her knee, there surgeon recommends a hinge knee replacement. I am concerned that it would not give her the stability she needs and I am concerned how long it will last. Also, if this fails, what are other options.
