A smoothie supplement before and after knee revision surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Digestive system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a revision (replacement) of your total knee replacement, for reasons other than infection or trauma, and both parts need to be replaced.
- You are between 40 and 85 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis.
- You have at least two ongoing health conditions like diabetes, heart disease, anxiety, depression, or chronic pain (the list includes many).
- You are willing to drink a smoothie supplement every day for 2 weeks before and after surgery and can pay for and prepare it.
- You do not have conditions that would cause inflammation problems, such as an infection, a recent weight change, certain medications, or a history of cancer or thyroid disease.

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 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.
This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut might affect recovery after a second knee replacement surgery. Researchers want to learn more about the connection between gut health and surgical outcomes.
This study looks at whether taking a GLP-1 medication (a type of medicine that helps with weight and blood sugar) before hip or knee replacement surgery can improve recovery. It may help reduce complications and improve outcomes for people who are overweight or have obesity-related health conditions.
This study compares a 2-week vegan diet to a regular diet before knee replacement surgery. It looks at how the diet affects protein turnover in the knee joint.
This study looks at the nutrition of patients before knee replacement surgery. It aims to see if nutrition affects recovery, which could help improve care for future patients.
