How Long Do Hip & Knee Replacements Really Last? | AAHKS President Dr. Antonia Chen

Joint replacement technology has advanced dramatically—but how long do modern hip and knee replacements actually last?

In this episode, I sit down with Antonia Chen, orthopedic surgeon, professor, and current President of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons, to discuss the latest evidence on implant longevity.

Dr. Chen explains why newer studies suggest many modern joint replacements may last 20–30 years or longer, what factors influence implant wear, and the role that activity level, implant materials, infection risk, and revision surgery play in long-term outcomes.

In this discussion, you'll learn:
✅ How long modern knee replacements typically last
✅ How long modern hip replacements typically last
✅ Whether exercise and running wear out implants faster
✅ Common implant materials used today
✅ Risks that can shorten implant lifespan
✅ Why modern outcomes are better than ever before
✅ What patients should realistically expect after surgery

If you're considering a hip or knee replacement—or already have one—this conversation provides valuable insights from one of the leading voices in joint replacement surgery.
