Patients can return to sports after total knee replacement, with walking, swimming, and cycling being popular low-impact activities. Overall physical activity levels decreased slightly but remained significant post-surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Sports medicine
  • Rehabilitation science

Context:

  • Total knee replacement (TKR) is a common procedure for end-stage knee osteoarthritis.
  • Assessing post-TKR physical activity is crucial for patient outcomes and quality of life.
  • Understanding activity modifications post-TKR informs patient counseling and rehabilitation strategies.

Purpose:

  • To determine the extent of sports participation after total knee replacement.
  • To compare physical activity levels before and after total knee replacement.
  • To identify common physical activities undertaken by patients post-TKR.

Summary:

  • A study of 167 patients (aged ≤65 at surgery) undergoing TKR between 1988-1998 assessed physical activity.
  • 83% completed questionnaires; 89.2% returned to activity post-surgery, with walking, swimming, and cycling most frequent.

  • Postoperative activity rates slightly decreased (80.4% to 75.4%), but patients engaging in more activity had higher Knee Society Scores.

    • Impact:

    • Total knee replacement patients tend to favor low-impact physical activities.
    • Surgery does not significantly reduce the overall percentage of patients engaging in physical activity.
    • Maintaining physical activity post-TKR is associated with better functional outcomes.
