What are signs that one's artificial knee is wearing out?

Pain and swelling: Although different patients will have different symptoms, pain and swelling of a knee replacement are the typical signs to watch for. Most knee replacements are very durable and can last 15 or more years. If you have concerns about your joint replacement, see an orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in knee replacement surgery.
