I had a total hip replacement in January, 2007. I was an avid tennis player until I could not move at all on the court. That was in the fall of 2005. I attempted some alternative treatments for over a year. Although the pain decreased in my day to day life, I could not do anything athletic. After the surgery, I played Golf, walking the course in March, two months after the surgery. I started hitting tennis balls in June but could not move very well. I slowly improved my strength and flexibility over the next year. It probably took 1.5 to 2 years where I felt totally comfortable and confident. My "bad hip" became my good hip. It's been four years now and I am still playing singles tennis. My range and speed are decreased but much of that is due to age anyway (I am 63). But I still have fun and am competitive at the 3.5 level. Recently, some groin pain. That has come and gone. I am still playing but mindful. I do exercises and stretches to keep myself going. I do not do much jogging at all. I find my hip bothers my much more if I ran than play tennis. I do elliptical training which brings no pain at all.
I had a knee replacement but I still play it depends do not play on a team jus play around with friends but don't out do yourself stay out of Hightower impact just shoot around and u can run but not too much just jog but don't stomp ur feet
Basketball should be avoided if you can. That does not mean you can not play it but what you have to understand here that basketball is a game where for a prolonged period of time you have to keep your knees bend especially while shooting.(I do not know much about basketball but what ever I have seen)
This could put so much stress on your knees. Also to dribble you suddenly change your movement direction which can cause a lot of stress on your new knees and as always high impact jumping to shoot the ball is big no no.
Having said that once in a while playing that would not hurt too much but you have to know your limitations and friendly game would not do too much harm.
Please keep in mind that any high impact activities does not do any harm next day but it decreases the lifespan of your new knees and make you a candidate for revision knee replacement surgery.
Also in terms of running avoid it. Rather do jogging and swimming if you can.
Hope it helps.

Can you play golf after total knee replacement?
Your activity level after surgery depends in your rehab and recovery. Your flexibility, strength, and weight all play key factors. If everything goes well, you should be able to play golf. You may have to modify your swing slightly to accommodate the manipulation of your knee. If you couldn't play before, Don't expect the knee to get you on the tour.
