The primary objective of this systematic review was to determine the impact of knee arthroplasties on knee function and activity levels in young (\u226455 years) patients. A PubMed search from inception (1977) to March 2022 to identify eligible studies produced 640 peer-reviewed studies for consideration. A total of 18 studies including 4,186 knee arthroplasties in 3,200 patients (mean patient age at the time of surgery: 47.4 years, range: 18\u201355 years) were ultimately included for analysis. Mean final follow-up (FFU) duration was 5.8 years (range: 2\u201325.1 years). Mean FFU improvement in Knee Society Clinical Score was 48.0 (1,625 knees, range: 20.9\u201369.0), Knee Society Function Score was 37.4 (1,284 knees, range: 20\u201365). Mean FFU for the Tegner and Lysholm activity scale was 2.8 (4 studies, 548 knees, range: 0.7\u20134.2); University of California Los Angeles Physical Activity Questionnaire score was 2.8 (3 studies, 387 knees, range: 1.2\u20135); lower extremity activity scale was 1.84 (529 knees). The available evidence suggest that young patients typically realize sustained improvements in knee function compared to preoperative levels; however, these improvements do not typically translate into a return to desired activity levels or quality of life, and this patient population should expect a higher and earlier risk for revision than their older counterparts. Further research, including robust registry data, is needed to establish evidence-based indications, expectations, and prognoses for outcomes after knee arthroplasty in young and active patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2176-4688","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,15]],"date-time":"2023-09-15T22:52:34Z","timestamp":1694818354000},"page":"452-459","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Impacts
