What implant brands are used for knee replacement abroad?
Tier-1 brands with 15+ year follow-up data: Zimmer (Persona, NexGen), Stryker (Triathlon, Scorpio), DePuy (Attune, PFC Sigma), Smith & Nephew (Journey II). Any tier-1 hospital will use these. Watch out for 'value tier' or unbranded implants — they're cheaper for the hospital but have thinner long-term data. Get the specific brand + size in writing on your quote. Revision rates at 10 years: ~3-5% for tier-1; closer to 8-12% for lower-tier.
