A high physical activity level after total knee arthroplasty does not increase the risk of revision surgery during the first twelve years: A systematic review with meta-analysis and GRADE

High physical activity (HPA) levels after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) might be related to increased wear and subsequent aseptic loosening, negatively affecting TKA survival. This systematic review studied the association between activity levels and risk of revision surgery at medium (3 –10 years) and long term (>10  years) follow up in patients with TKA.
