Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Musculoskeletal Health
  • Sports Medicine

Background:

  • The aging population and increased prevalence of arthritis drive demand for joint replacement.
  • Total joint arthroplasty is a successful treatment for painful, activity-limiting joints.
  • Limited guidance exists on safe athletic activities post-joint replacement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate athletic activity following total joint replacement.
  • To develop consensus recommendations for safe post-arthroplasty sports participation.
  • To provide a guide for physicians advising patients on post-replacement activity.

Main Methods:

  • Review of orthopaedic literature on athletic activity after joint replacement.
  • Survey of members from The Hip Society, The Knee Society, and The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Society.
  • Development of consensus-based recommendations.

Main Results:

  • Consensus recommendations for appropriate athletic activities after total joint replacement were established.
  • The study addresses a gap in literature regarding post-operative patient activity.
  • Guidelines are provided for surgeons and primary care physicians.

Conclusions:

  • Safe athletic participation is achievable after total joint replacement.
  • Recommendations aim to guide clinical practice and patient counseling.
  • Further research is encouraged to expand knowledge in this area.
