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)
- You agree to go home the same day and have a responsible adult stay with you overnight after discharge
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18.5 and 37.0

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 study tests whether drinking a special smoothie each day for 2 weeks before and after your knee revision surgery helps reduce inflammation and improve recovery. It is for people who have health conditions that cause inflammation, like diabetes or heart disease, and who are getting a knee replacement.
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 study looks at how your physical activity, sleep, and knee function change after you go home the same day as your knee replacement surgery. It aims to help you recover better by understanding these factors.
This study compares two drinks given before surgery—maltodextrin (a carbohydrate powder mixed with water) versus sugar water—to see which one keeps the stomach empty and reduces risks during surgery on the lower limbs. It may help older patients have a safer and more comfortable experience.
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.
