Will i be able to run after knee replacement? i am a lifelong runner. will i be able to run again after knee replacement?

Not : Not recommended. Repeated high impacts, such as from running, can damage the plastic spacer in the knee, and it can break down quickly as a result. I advise patients to seek other forms of exercise - low-impact, high-endurance activities such as hiking, biking, or swimming are fine.

Running: You probably can run after a knee replacement, but high impact activities such as running are not recommended. These activities can lead to premature wear and failure of the implants.
