If I had to guess I'd lean to thinking manufacturing an artificial muscle like the hearth is is a lot more challenging that an artificial joint like the knee is. Also from what I've seen people who get knee replacements tend to be people with a lot of years left to live to want to ski and run on them, whereas someone who needs a hearth transplant is probably nearing the end of their lifespan.
