 Pretty common. I know a couple of people who have had it.

Yeah, I know loads of people that have had their knees replaced, very successfully. Often very active people, who return exercise like cycling. Hip replacements can recover in weeks, knees take months.
My mother had both knees replaced and they lasted well for about 17 years.
