Hi JK. The figure I was given was less than 1% for hips. Many of the staff on the orthopaedic ward I was on had never nursed anyone that had had my procedure. I have no idea for knee but I seem to that this may be higher but don't quite me. You are one of the lucky ones. Lin

@linjane Thanks, Lin. I guess you are right, I am one of the lucky ones. This is absolutely frightening. My brother-in-law just had a hip replacement and he is doing great also. I do know many people who have had either hip or knee replacements and none of them have gone through this, so I suppose it must be a small percentage, but it sounds like an absolutely terrible thing to have to go through.
