How long do hip and knee replacements last?

Many modern implants last 15–20+ years for most patients. According to AAOS OrthoInfo, more than 90% of modern total knee replacements are still functioning well at 15 years. Longevity varies by person, activity, implant, and other factors.

What may help your implant last:
• Careful surgical planning and implant alignment
• Maintaining a healthy weight
• Low-impact exercise (walking, swimming, cycling)
• Completing physical therapy as prescribed
• Routine follow-up with your surgeon

Wondering what's realistic for you? Dr. Jeffrey Carroll, DO, specializes in hip and knee replacement and revision hip replacement. He also offers VELYS® Hip Navigation and VELYS® robotic-assisted knee replacement (available options — not a guarantee of implant longevity).

Home the same day. 🏠

Many patients don't need a hospital stay for a joint replacement anymore. With outpatient total joint surgery, the right candidates have a hip, knee, or shoulder replaced and go home that same day to recover in their own space.

Not everyone is a candidate. Your overall health, home support, and the specific joint all matter, and we'll go over that with you honestly at your visit.

Dr. Jeffrey Carroll specializes in hip and revision hip replacement and sees patients in Clinton Township and Lenox.

Wondering if outpatient joint replacement is right for you? Book a consult at movementortho.com.

Planning on getting back to the things you love after hip or knee replacement? Here's a general guide:

🚶 Walking: starts soon after surgery, with a walker or cane at first
🚲 Stationary bike: often part of physical therapy
🏊 Swimming: once your incision has healed
⛳ Golf, biking, dancing: low-impact favorites, when your surgeon clears you
🚫 Running and jumping: high-impact, generally not advised

Most people resume light daily activities within 3–6 weeks. Every recovery is different, and your surgeon and therapist set your timeline.

Tips for success: stick with your PT exercises, build up gradually, and call us about new pain, swelling, redness, or fever.

A new way of treating fractures? It's early, but here's what's being studied.

Uppsala University reports that a bone glue, developed over more than 10 years by Håkan Engqvist and Philip Procter, was used for the first time in a patient in early August 2026, during knee surgery in England. The patient is the first participant in a clinical study looking at the material in fractures near joints. The glue is a bone-filling material made of calcium phosphate and phosphoserine mixed with water.

Important context: this is a first-in-human, early-stage study. It is not an approved or standard treatment, and no outcome results have been reported. We're sharing it as an example of the research happening in fracture care.

If you think you may have broken a bone, or you have pain, swelling, or trouble using an arm or leg after an injury, please get evaluated. Movement Orthopedics sees fractures and joint injuries at our Clinton Township and Lenox, MI locations. Call (586) 436-3785 or visit movementortho.com.

Can you really go home the same day as a hip or knee replacement? For some patients, yes.

Here's how outpatient (same-day) joint replacement usually works:
1️⃣ Before surgery: a medical evaluation, surgical planning, and getting your home ready
2️⃣ Surgery: usually about 1–2 hours
3️⃣ Recovery room: physical therapy often starts within hours, walking with a walker or cane
4️⃣ Home: the same day, once you meet discharge goals and your surgeon agrees

Who may be a candidate? People in good overall health, who walk on their own before surgery and have strong support at home. Your surgeon decides what's safest, and some patients are better off staying overnight.

Wondering if it's an option for you? Dr. Jeffrey Carroll, DO, specializes in hip and knee replacement and will talk it through with you.

Recovering from hip or knee replacement? Here's what physical therapy usually looks like:

🔸 Weeks 1–2: gentle motion, walking with support, keeping swelling down
🔸 Weeks 3–6: building strength and range of motion. Many patients wean off the walker.
🔸 Weeks 6–12: advanced strengthening, balance work, more daily activities
🔸 3–6 months and beyond: continued gains and a return to the activities your surgeon approves

Best tip: consistency beats intensity. Do your exercises every day.

Every recovery is different, so follow your surgeon's and therapist's plan. Questions? We're here.
