Fast-track recovery for knee replacement patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial studies a faster recovery “fast-track” plan for people getting their first total knee replacement for arthritis. It may help by getting you back to movement and normal life sooner, while comparing outcomes against usual care.
