German term or phrase: Einlaufphänomen
This comes under the medical history section of a report for a patient who received a hip replacement.

The full sentence is a follows:

Deutliches Einlaufphänomen, die Gehstrecke beträgt max. 10 Minuten.

I can get 90% of the way there - but I can't decide on a final translation.

From looking around, "Einlauf" seems to refer to something that occurs when you first start excercising, walking, standing up etc.

However - I can't find a snappy term for this in English.

Secondly, does the "phänomen" part just refer to pain, or something more specific, e.g. a limp when first walking....

Explanation:
The term "Einlaufphänomen" is used in German in connection with heel spur, for example. I found the above English phrase in http://heelspurs.com/index.html.
I take it that "Phänomen" is used in the same sense as "symptom" in your context.
