Michael AB Naafs*In this review the possibilities of physical activity (PA) or resuming sports after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) are discussed
Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is one of the most successful treatment options for patients with painful degenerative joint disease [1]
Several studies utilizing self-reported outcomes indicate that patients perceive themselves to be more physically active after Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) they were before surgery
Summary
In this review the possibilities of physical activity (PA) or resuming sports after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) are discussed. Despite the total number of TJAs exceeding soon 1million procedures/year in the U.S alone, Orthopedic Societies still have no scientific based answers for younger TJA patients, regarding resuming PA and sports after any type of TJA. Research in this subject has been of an underpowered nature both in trial design as well as in interest of orthopedic surgeons in patient’s needs
