How long is the life of a joint replacement?
Update: 2025-10-31
Description
Joint replacements don’t last forever, but they are lasting longer thanks to new technology.
A new report has looked at the more than 150,000 hip, knee and shoulder joint replacements in the 12 months to December 2024.
Just 6.9 per cent of these were revisions, meaning an artificial joint needed to be replaced.
