Outpatient vs. in-hospital knee replacement recovery study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares recovery after total knee replacement when patients go home the same day versus staying overnight in the hospital. It aims to see if outpatient surgery leads to similar or better recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for a total knee replacement at Strasbourg University Hospitals between January 2020 and June 2023.
- Your surgery is a first-time knee replacement, not a revision or emergency procedure.
- Your surgery is on one knee only (not both at the same time).
- Your surgery is not for cancer, infection, or a previous failed replacement.

This study looks at recovery after total knee replacement surgery. It compares people who had spinal anesthesia (numbing the lower body) to those who had general anesthesia (being fully asleep) to see which group recovers better.
This study asks how satisfied people are after knee replacement, comparing different knee implant types. You may help researchers understand which implant approach leads to better patient experience.
This study compares different types of artificial knee replacements to see which ones work better and last longer over time. Researchers will track your recovery, pain relief, and how well your new knee functions for years after surgery.
This study looks at how well people recover after total knee replacement, comparing those with different body composition levels. The goal is to see if a measure called 'phase angle' affects recovery of strength and function.
This study compares two ways surgeons can perform a total knee replacement to see which one leads to better recovery and function. If you are having a knee replacement for severe arthritis, this trial might help determine the best surgical technique for you.
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.
