Sports after total joint replacement

Clin Sports Med. 2005 Jan;24(1):175-86. doi: 10.1016/j.csm.2004.08.009.

Abstract

Today's patients require additional guidance in their expectations after replacement surgery. Failure rates for shoulder, hip, and knee replacements across most studies are approximately 0.5% to 1% per year, including infection, loosening, and wear of the parts. Elbow and ankle replacements will likely require more restrictions and have slightly higher revision rates.
