Physical activity after revision knee arthroplasty including return to sport and work: a systematic review and meta-analysis including GRADE.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The number of primary knee arthroplasties (KAs) performed annually is rising, especially among active, working age patients. Consequently, revision KA is also increasingly performed. Our aim was to systematically review the extent to which patients were physically active following revision KA, and the rate and timing of return to sport and work.

Methods

A search was conducted in the databases Medline and Embase until February 24^th, 2023. Studies describing patients with revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) or revision unicondylar knee arthroplasty (rUKA), with outcomes regarding physical activity or return to sport (RTS) or work (RTW) were included. Quality of studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale, meta-analyses were performed using R
