@jerryrk Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, a place to give and get support.

That's a great question that members like @martydav @cookiegnias @colski @basslakebabe19 @wildebjef @anncgrl @robinsod @wildebjef may be able to help answer.

May I ask if your surgeon may be able to give you a ballpark answer to this question?

Well, here is what I was told about TKR. If you choose to take care of your replacement, my surgeon told me it will last a lifetime. If I continued to hike uphill in the mountains it will also last a lifetime. However, if you choose to walk down hill, it will last about 5 years.
There you go...it’s up to you.
May you be safe and protected.
Chris
