Özet
Joint replacement surgery by improving function and relieving pain was proved to be an effective and reliable intervention, especially in the treatment of arthritic hip and knee joints. The advances in surgical techniques and implant properties have led to an increase in patients’ expectations; therefore, returning to sports after joint replacement is desired by many, particularly those who participate in sports activities preoperatively. Sporting activities cause concentrated stresses on smaller areas in knee prosthesis when compared with normal knees. High-impact sports may cause fatigue and implant failure. Despite the advances in knee arthroplasty, it is rational to avoid high-impact sports. Recommending low-impact sports after total knee replacement is advisable, as benefits have been shown by previous studies. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2012.
