One of the concerns patients have is ‘how long will my hip or knee replacement last’.

The Lancet, a highly regarded medical journal, published its findings in February 2019 - stating that in their case series of over 13,000 hip replacements 78.8% lasted 20 years and for knees 70% of partial knee replacements lasted 25 years and 82% of total knees lasted over 25 years.
