    Dr. Keith Steward answered:

    Modern knee replacements are expected to last for at least 15 years before needing revision. The new plastic being used in today’s knee replacements may last for 20 to 25 years, but it is too early to tell. Today’s joint replacements also allow for improved motion and have better long-term outcomes.
