Knee Replacement At Age of 37 Posted: 10-12-04 13:39pm


My daughter is suppose to have a knee repalcement soon. The cause was steroids used with chemotherpathy. She was told that the replacements last only 7 or 8 years. Can they do a second knee replacement or will they have to amputate after that? Thanks cf
