Drinking plan before surgery to support same-day joint replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a specific pre-surgery oral drinking (hydration) plan can help people feel and recover better after outpatient (same-day) hip or knee replacement surgery. It may help support safe same-day discharge for the right patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for an outpatient (ambulatory) hip or knee replacement surgery
- Your surgery time is before noon (12:00 pm)

This study looks at whether you need to be “cleared” by physical therapy before going home the same day as knee (TKA) or hip (THA) replacement surgery. It may help determine the safest and most efficient discharge plan for patients who can go home with support right after surgery.
This trial tests whether an oral nutrition plan given before elective hip or knee replacement can help people with low nutrition (“malnutrition”) do better after surgery. If you’re a candidate for surgery and meet lab signs of poor nutrition, you may be asked to take an oral supplement by mouth.
This trial tests if drinking a special fiber smoothie for 2 weeks before knee revision surgery can reduce inflammation and improve recovery. It is for people who are scheduled for knee replacement and have certain chronic health conditions.
This trial tests if special nutritional support before and after hip or knee replacement helps you recover faster. It is for people having planned (not emergency) surgery.
This study compares giving patients a special carbohydrate drink before planned abdominal surgery versus fasting to see if the drink helps them recover faster and feel better afterward. The goal is to understand whether this simple change can improve your recovery time and comfort after surgery.
This trial studies a special nutrition plan before knee replacement surgery to see if it helps recovery. Participants follow enhanced recovery guidelines for eating and drinking before their operation.
