Tests urine problems after knee replacement surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at urinary retention (when you can’t pee normally) after elective total knee replacement. It may help doctors understand who is at risk and how to reduce this problem after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are scheduled for an elective total knee replacement
- You have not had surgery for urologic (urinary tract) cancer
- Your knee surgery is not being done because of a fracture
- You can cooperate with the study’s instructions and follow-up
- You do not already have untreated trouble peeing (urinary retention)
- Your surgery plan does not involve a nephrostomy or general anesthesia

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a medication called tamsulosin (commonly used for prostate problems) can help prevent trouble urinating after chest surgery. You may be eligible if you are at higher risk for this complication and have some urinary symptoms.
This trial studies whether tamsulosin can help drain the bladder when urine builds up after pelvic reconstructive surgery. It may help reduce the time and problems caused by “post-operative urinary retention.”
This trial tests a new way to manage trouble peeing after surgery in the recovery room. It may help avoid needing a catheter and reduce discomfort.
This study tests whether keeping the knee in a certain position after surgery can help recovery. It compares two knee positions to see which offers better pain relief and function.
This study looks at ways to lower the risk of infection after knee replacement surgery (with or without vancomycin, an antibiotic). If you’re a good candidate, you may receive an approach aimed at preventing post-surgery infections and related complications.
This study tests a special recovery program after knee replacement surgery to see if it helps reduce long-term pain. You may be eligible if you are having a first-time knee replacement for osteoarthritis, are between 18 and 65, and live near the hospital.
