Can I Golf after a Total Knee Replacement? How and When to get back on the links

[@silverfox5319]

Really good advice, and not only coming from an orthopedic surgeon but a former golfer. Actually the part about start with some chipping practice will not only help the healing process, but will definitely help the golf game, because as we all know everyone just wants to pound drivers. That raises your handicap, while practicing chipping will lower it. Thanks for your advice.

Glad you liked it. Yep, gotta work on that short game.

Awesome video! Thanks so much Dr. Rosen! Im 64 and just had my TKR on july 22, 2021. Almost 2 weeks post op and Im able to go on half mile walks a couple times a day. The little white orb is calling me. Needed your video badly thanks so much.

First class advice. I’m five weeks post op but wish I had seen these podcasts before having op. Would have been very beneficial.

[@dradamrosen]

Better late than never but I'm glad it helped.

Spot on advice. This exactly how I worked back into playing after my TKA. Especially like the suggestion to see an instructor, getting in the right groove can only help avoiding undue stress on the new knee.

Having a TKR here in the UK on Tuesday 12th and play golf regularly, informative video thanks. All about the physio I guess.

[@dradamrosen]

Glad you liked it. Good luck. And yes, early rehab and range of motion is key.

Six weeks post-op after tkr and was told I can go back to playing the sport I love, disc golf. Disc golf requires a lot more twisting and weight on the surgical leg. Just curious, have you ever had a patient that was able to get back to disc golf? I am a little reluctant to play again this quickly.

[@dradamrosen]

If you were cleared by your surgeon they must feel your are okay. With my patients when they return to any activity it is best to take it slow with some warm ups and practice first.

Hi Doctor Adam I'm 55 yrs old, ripe for tkr, I play golf regularly, one of my friend who is a surgeon, is saying that I should have zirconium, ceramic knees, keeping in view my age... I wish to have a CT scan and computer navigated surgery, however not knowing much about the kind of implant, I should go for
