This may be a disturbing statement to some patients, as many people with knee replacements are avid golfers. So why should you not golf after a knee replacement? According to a new study presented at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons annual meeting, playing golf places higher stresses on knee replacement implants than jogging.

We all know that knee replacements need to be taken care of as they will hopefully last a patient's lifetime.

However, some activities take a higher toll on the implanted joint. Among the best activities for knee replacements, according to the study, are cycling and walking on a treadmill.

What about you? Did you play golf after knee replacement? What activities do you do with a knee replacement? Leave your comments below.
