Abstract:
Hip and knee replacement are among the most successful orthopaedic interventions in terms of satisfaction and they are now proposed to younger patients. Recommendations regarding return to sports are based on expert opinions and on the results of surveys performed among surgeons. Sports activities are classified as recommended, recommended with some level of experience, and discouraged. They take into account the risks associated with sports activities, but are not necessarily in line with the growing expectations of patients. This article addresses the risks related to return to sports, recommended sports, and the rate and appropriate timing of sport resumption. The main predictor remains the motivation of the patient and the pre-operative sporting level.
