Study of total joint replacement in children and young adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at outcomes after total joint replacement in people ages 10–25 at Children’s Hospital Colorado. It may help doctors better understand which patients do well after surgery (or after trying non-surgical pain treatments first).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
