Anyone with an implant 15+ years?

Postby Jonarr » Sat Nov 27, 2021 5:38 am

I was wondering if there’s any forum members or indeed if anyone knows anyone with a functional implant they’ve had for over 15 years? According to published data half of us should achieve that milestone so there should be a lot of people out there. I know the forum will naturally be populated with guys who are early in the journey, or have complications but the old timers around here seem very few and far between and it does make me question the reliability of the research

My Titan failed after 12 years, having never been used. I'm not sure what that says about reliability, but at least it's a data point.
