Impact exercises, like running, jumping, and tennis are not recommended post TKR. You're correct, the TKR knee is not an anatomical match for a real knee. The TKR knee has no cushioning properties, and that's why impact exercises are not recommended.
As much as I'm sure you love it, I would stop playing tennis, doubles or otherwise. I had to give up running, but can do almost everything else in the gym that doesn't involve impact, and that's a lot.

Agree totally...I used to do Aquafit in the water and loved it and was told even in the pool no jumping or running in place because although the impact isn't like not being in water you still impact the knee. We did lots of jumping exercises and running in place etc.... we just have to find different ways to exercise.
