Get hip/knee replacement surgery while you're still healthy and can recover from all that surgery. Maybe even have them all done at once!

Why not replace the entire endoskeleton with a carbonfiber composite endo/exo skeletal hybrid? I suppose you'd have to wait until you were fully grown, and the attractiveness of the idea had waned somewhat. |

Surely the lifetimes of these things will get longer. It becomes an optimization problem. I would say that soon after your present parts become too inferior to the spare parts, but before you are so old that recovery from surgery will be problematic, would be a good time. |

Within 30-50 years we'll be regenerating duplicate organs to replace your worn out ones. No more titaninum/teflon joints but your own flesh and blood. |

Even still, bromide, it would make sense to undergo "freshening" before the shock to your system would make it too difficult to undergo surgery. |

baked - see: Matt Hoffman |

Matt Hoffman had all his bones replaced by titanium replacement bones? Creepy. No wonder he recovers from crashing his BMX so fast. |
