[Postoperative rehabilitation after knee arthroplasty].

Background: Postoperative rehabilitation after knee arthroplasty plays a decisive role in restoring the function and mobility of the affected joint. However, there is still disagreement regarding the setting, structure and content of rehabilitation after knee arthroplasty, and the evidence on the individual measures is largely unclear. The aim of this article is to provide an evidence-based overview of the current status of rehabilitation after knee arthroplasty and to critically discuss the points that are still unclear.

[Return to activity and return to sports after total knee replacement].

Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most common and successful operations in the field of orthopaedics, with a steadily increasing number of patients.
