Varies: Depending on the pathology, the amount of pain, and the amount of conservative treatment tried. Significant increase in the 50-59 year age group, still average age over 60.

Avg age 63: Realistically, there is no "normal" age to have a total knee replacement. Although the problem of knee arthritis becomes more common with age, not everyone will develop arthritis that will need surgery. Also recognize that many patients with knee arthritis can be successfully treated without surgery, via medications, physical therapy, and injections.
