how long has the redness lasted? it could be nothing but it may be the start of an infection.. any swelling or itching in the area? soreness that is more than usual? check with your doctor. It's probably something minor but it could be as serious as your body rejecting the procedure- even 5 years later.

I am not sure how your'e knee replacement question was entered under the dental category, but anyway. 5 years is a long time, and I wouldn't think that your'e body is rejecting the product. But, you could have an infection, or something else could be going on. See your'e md, especially if redness is accompanied by soreness or pain, and if your'e leg is hot to the touch. Good luck.

This knee questions is in the dental category? LOL. I guess it could hurt your teeth.
Go to your Orthopedic Dr and get examined. The redness doesn't sound good.'

get your knee out of your mouth (dental questions for a knee???)))
Then call the Doctor that did the replacement for an evaluation.

How is this a dental question?
Anyway, sounds like a serious infection. You might want to get to the E.R. or a walk in clinic today.

You could have an infection or deep vein thrombosis. Either one requires the attention of your doctor. Sooner rather than later.
