Encore Knee Implant Recall - knee replacement

Replacing a knee joint with an artificial one like the Encore Knee System is performed in a procedure called knee arthroplasty.

This knee replacement procedure is a common treatment for severe arthritis.

More than 350,000 knee replacement procedures are performed in the United States each year according to Johns Hopkins. Doctors originally prescribed the knee replacement procedure  for people age 60 to 75, as younger patients were  thought to put too much stress on the joint and require a second artificial joint in 10 to 20 years. Patients older than 75 were recommended against it knee replacement surgery as doctors believed them to be too frail to undergo the knee replacement surgery procedure.
