A member asked:
How often is a knee replacement needed after non-displaced patella fracture, no surgery in 45 yr old otherwise healthy female?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Hopefully once: the typically longevity of a knee replacement is about 15-20 years Not sure if you had a nondisplaced fracture if that s what you need Id try some other treatments first you want to hold off on a replacement until youre older if possible
