They are improving implants by leaps and bounds what they have been in the past and patients are having a much better outcome. I work for MedCure (medcure.org) which is a program that links persons who donate their body with the medical researchers and educators that develop and perfect knees as well as a plethora of other devices, implants, disease study and more. Body donors play such an important role in joint health, especially for those affected with genetic deformities, arthritis or (like me) suffered a trauma. Good luck on your new knee and hope your experience is a positive one :)
