Hello Wayne - 

--8<--cut 

WC> Surgically repaired the knee gave me no difficulty for some
WC> 25 years but wear and tear from working heavy labor on
WC> concrete floors and age took a toll so now it's giving me
WC> some grief again. 

Having a badly damaged knee myself I pay attention when new
developments or documentaries about such things comes my way. 

I am told that the glue holding the artificial knee joint into
the bone will let go after some years and needs to be re-glued
depending how active a person is. 

The newer knee joints allow you to turn your foot inward and
outward relieving some stresses on the glue and giving greater
flexibility of movement in general. Sort of a ball and socket
type joint rather than the older 'hinge' type. 

My now deceased father-in-law had two, one in each knee, and
said he wished he had had them installed decades earlier (no
pain after healing).
