There is currently no consensus on the appropriate sports and occupational restrictions for military service members with a joint replacement. Data from the United States show that 14% of military patients complete an operational deployment after the index surgery. No published data are available on arthroplasty in the militaries of other North Atlantic Treaty Organization countries. Research is needed to determine the appropriate medical employment limitations for Canadian Armed Forces members with a knee or hip replacement. Service members wanting to continue military service should be carefully screened to ensure that their duties do not compromise the longevity of the implant and that the risk of mission-threatening complications is minimal.
目前，对于接受过关节置换手术的军人，在运动和职业方面应如何限制，尚无共识。来自美国的数据显示，有 14%的军人在接受手术治疗后，完成了一次作战部署。关于其他北约国家军队中的关节置换手术，目前尚无相关出版物。需要开展研究，确定膝关节或髋关节置换术后的加拿大武装部队军人的适当医疗就业限制。希望继续服兵役的军人应接受仔细筛查，以确保他们的职责不会影响植入物的使用寿命，并且发生危及任务的并发症的风险最小。
