title: Impact of athletic activity on the stability of the lower limb joint prosthesis.
abstract: This publication analyses the impact of athletic activity on the stability of lower leg implant. Analysis of literature does not allow for a clear answer whether such activity is an independent predictor of early loosening. Number of publications warning patients against excessive sports activities, equals the number of reassuring reports.
