Benefits of knee replacement include high patient satisfaction, improved function and even improved overall health, according to several studies, says Todd O. Davis, general manager and vice president, Global Knees, for Biomet Orthopedics. One study analyzing 134,458 osteoarthritic patients showed that patients who underwent a total knee replacement had a mortality risk about one-half that of patients who did not have the joint replaced, Davis says.
