Summary

The expectations of total joint replacement are constantly increasing: Freedom of pain and mobility used to be the primary goal, while nowadays it is longevity despite heavy loading and intense sporting activity. A preoperative sportive patient expects to be able to perform his favorite sporting activities like hiking, swimming and cycling, but also the more demanding skiing, tennis and jogging, for example, after surgery. The aim of this article is to illustrate what level of sporting activities can be performed by patients with total joint replacement. Are there differences between the pre- and postoperative levels? What are the risks for, and negative influences on, the prosthesis during intense sporting activity? What is the role of the physician? Finally, recommendations for sporting activities after total hip and knee replacement are given.

Zusammenfassung

Die Anforderungen an Gelenkendoprothesen nehmen stetig zu: Waren es früher Schmerzfreiheit und Mobilität, so sind es heutzutage Langlebigkeit trotz starker Belastungen bis hin zur Möglichkeit der Sportausübung. Ein präoperativ sportlich aktiver Patient möchte auch nach Endoprothesenversorgung seine bevorzugten Aktivitäten wie Wandern, Schwimmen und Radfahren, aber auch anspruchsvollere Sportarten wie Schifahren, Tennis und Joggen ausüben. Dieser Artikel soll erläutern, welche Sportarten auf welchem Leistungsniveau von Endoprothesenträgern ausgeübt werden. Gibt es Unterschiede im Vergleich prä- zu postoperativ? Mit welchen Risiken bzw. negativen Einflüssen auf die Endoprothese ist bei intensiver Sportausübung zu rechnen? Welche Funktion hat der behandelnde Arzt? Zusammenfassend werden Empfehlungen für Sportausübung nach Hüft- und Knietotalendoprothesen abgegeben.
