“…These are supported by studies that showed an increased wear and loosening of the artificial joint [1,2,3]. On the other hand, it is assumed that physical activity in an adjusted degree is reducing the loosening rates of prostheses, or at least has no negative influence [4,5].…”

“…There are several studies on sport activities of patients after elective joint replacement. The current trend of expert opinion favors more liberal recommendations in sports activity resulting from a growing number of young patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty [17,38]. Depending on surgical methods, survivors reached different post-Ewing's sarcoma sports activity levels with overwhelming scoring after fibula for tibia reconstruction.…”

Background Limb salvage surgery has evolved to become the standard method of treating sarcomas of the extremities with acceptable oncologic results. However, little information exists relative to the activity level or ability to participate in sports after tumor reconstructions. Questions/purposes The aims of the study were to answer the following questions: (1) Which sports activity levels and what types of sports can be expected in the long term after tumor reconstruction? (2) Which frequency durations are patients with Ewing's sarcoma able to perform in longterm followup after local control? (3) Do surgical complications affect sports activity level? Methods Thirty patients (13 females, 17 males; mean age, 18 ± 8 years; range, 2-36 years at diagnosis; mean followup 16 ± 6 years [minimum, 5 years]) were included. Tumors were located in the pelvis, femur, tibia, and fibula. Surgical procedures included surgical resections alone (n = 8), surgical resection with biological reconstruction (n = 9), or endoprosthetic reconstruction (n = 13). We assessed UCLA sports activity levels, kinds of sports as well as the frequency per week and the duration of each training unit at long term (minimum followup, 5 years). Results In long-term followup 83% patients (25 of 30) were performing athletic activity regularly. The hours/ week of sports depended on type of surgery and were highest after resections in the pelvis and femur (5.8) and were lowest after megaprosthetic reconstruction of the pelvis (1.0). Patients undergoing biologic reconstructions were able to perform high-impact sports. UCLA sports activity levels were high after joint-preserving vascularized fibula for tibia reconstruction (7.4) and after megaprosthetic reconstruction of the lower extremity (6.3-6.4) and were low after tumors located in the fibula (4.2). Complications during followup did not significantly influence sports activity in long-term survivors.

“…The literature reports contradictory results concerning increase of physical activity following total joint arthroplasty and generally prospective studies on the subject are lacking [22]. Two cross-sectional studies of THA patients have found the level of physical activity 1 year postoperatively to be comparable to the general population [2,24].…”

Physical activity level, leisure activities and related quality of life 1 year after lumbar decompression or total hip arthroplasty

et al. 2012

Purpose Lumbar decompression surgery (LDS) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) are frequently performed in the elderly population, but very little is known about their subsequent physical capacity and participation in leisure activities. Despite similar demographics and comorbidities, it is questionable whether LDS patients achieve equally high levels of physical capacity and quality of life postoperatively as do THA patients. The aim was to compare the physical activity level, participation in leisure activities and related quality of life 1 year after an LDS and THA procedure. Methods Data from 95 THA patients and 83 LDS patients were gathered from questionnaires on self-reported physical activity level, leisure activities and quality of life. Results LDS and THA patients reported equally moderate levels of physical activity. The median score was 42.3 METs/day (IQR 37.9; 47.7) for the LDS group and 41.0 METs/day (IQR 38.5; 48.5)
