Physiotherapy after knee replacement can last from 1-6 months, but it usually depends on the amount of joint function the patient needs, their lifestyle, etc. Generally, full recovery from the surgery lasts a few months, especially in athletes, but in general, most patients are able to recover joint movement to perform everyday activities within 3-4 weeks.

Most knee plants easily last for 15-20 years without any wearing or degeneration, that’s why it’s considered a once-in-a-lifetime treatment. Generally, only patients who had a knee replacement at a very young age require re-surgery.

According to some research studies, over 90% of knee replacement surgeries have a successful outcome over a 10-year period, and about 80% of knee surgeries have successful knee function outcomes over a period of 20 years.
