Recovery after bone surgery for high-altitude residents
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how people who live at high altitudes recover from planned bone and joint surgeries. The information could help doctors understand and prevent complications in similar patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are in generally good health (classified as ASA I to III by your doctor before surgery).
- You have lived at an altitude above 2,500 meters (about 8,200 feet) for more than 6 months.
- You are currently still living in a high-altitude region (you have not left for more than 3 months).
- You are scheduled for a planned orthopedic surgery (bone, joint, or muscle surgery) — not an emergency surgery.
- Your expected hospital stay after surgery will be at least 48 hours.

This study tests if a program to reduce anxiety before surgery (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) improves how patients feel one year after major orthopedic surgery like knee, hip, or spine procedures, compared to standard care.
This trial tests a prehabilitation program to see if it helps people recover better after major surgery. You would start the program at least 3 weeks before your operation.
This study looks at how blood tests and your overall health affect recovery after surgery for a broken long bone. It may help doctors personalise your treatment and rehabilitation.
This study collects information and samples around the time of certain bone or joint surgeries (like joint replacement or fracture repair) to learn what factors help or harm bone healing. The results may help find better targets to improve long-term bone health and recovery.
This study looks at patients who've had major abdominal, bone, or blood-vessel surgery to understand what factors make some people more likely to have complications afterward. It analyzes information already collected from hospitals to help doctors better predict and prevent problems.
This trial looks at how well a pain-control plan works after certain orthopedic surgeries and how it affects recovery and patient-reported outcomes. It may help determine what level of pain relief is meaningful to patients after surgery.
