A member asked:
Could daily exercise prolong the need for knee replacement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly.: If your exercise consists of non-impact activities, such as swimming, biking or walking. Keeping your muscles strong and your body weight down, may delay the need for a knee replacement. You should check with your orthopedic doctor, to make sure these activities are ok for you.
