@sueinmn I had a TKR in 2019, and another in 2020.
I was 70 & 71.
My surgeon did mention that they were good for about 20-25 years. I don’t anticipate having any problems unless I fall, again, or something…

@SusanEllen66 My Mom's knees were 25 & 30 years old when she passed away at 84 in 2011, and neither was giving her any trouble. Until multiples strokes slowed her at age 80, she was very active travelling, gardening and dancing. Several of my friends have functional knee implants that are 25 years old or more - even tennis players and golfers.
