- Complications from anesthesia
- Thrombophlebitis (blood clots in the legs)
- Infection
- Myositis ossificans (calcium deposits in soft tissue around the knee joint, causing inflammation of muscles where they meet the bone)
- Loosening where a metal component or cement meets the bone
- Incision complications
- Bone fractures during surgery
- Dislocation of the new prosthesis
- A difference in leg length because of the artificial knee
- More or faster loss of bone tissue
- And even death
