Every year in the U.S., about 581,000 knee replacement surgeries are performed. Knee replacement surgeries were first done in 1968, and improvements in techniques and materials have enhanced effectiveness since then.
Reduction in pain and improvement in the ability to engage in activities of daily life are the chief benefits associated with knee replacements.

It’s wonderful to live in a time when weight-bearing joints, like knees and hips, can be effectively replaced when injury or wear requires it. In the U.S., more than half a million knee replacements are performed yearly.
But the joy of renewed movement can be short-lived when problems with defective replacement joints occur. Individuals who received ZimmerTM knee implants may be among those who experience pain and other problems.
