I am planning for the possibility of living til mid ninties since based on genetics that seems like a good possibility.
I was advised that replacing a knee a second time was very difficult because of bone loss in the first replacement proceedure.

I'm not sure I follow the logic there.
The longer you wait the less you might have to replace it. True. However, the older you are, harder it is for your body to heal from any trauma like surgery so if you do it at 61 and then 76, isn't it better than 70 and 85?
