Young and Getting a Knee Replacement?

Sports injuries, arthritis, or congenital joint issues can cause serious knee damage early in life leading to surgery before age 50.

Young and Getting a Knee Replacement?

Sports injuries, arthritis, or congenital joint issues can cause serious knee damage early in life leading to surgery before age 50.

Average Age Is Dropping

Knee replacements used to be for seniors, but now patients in their 30s and 40s are also opting for surgery.

Benefits for Young Adults

Young patients often recover faster, return to work and exercise sooner, and enjoy long-term relief from pain and limited mobility.

Consider the Risks Too

Surgery risks include infection, stiffness, or implant failure. Younger patients may need another replacement after 15–20 years of use.

Life After Surgery

Rehab lasts 3–6 months. Most young patients return to walking, working, and even light sports with better comfort and movement.

Low-impact sports like swimming, cycling, and walking are encouraged. Avoid high-impact activities like running to prolong implant life and comfort.
