Guest guest Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 My first post here...Anyone have a failed knee revision? After having 2 replacements I've been told I need the 3rd. It's loosening. Of course surgeons do surgery but I'm wondering if there might be any other solution beside another full replacement and rebuilding of the joint. Maybe pumping in more glue/cement or placing in some screws. My original replacement lasted 17 years, my current revision might last 8 years so my next could just last for 4. Each one decreases by about half according to one ortho doc I saw. I'm an otherwise active 60 year old. Any other options? Thanks for any info.
