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.

This study compares two ways of doing a knee replacement to see which one causes less pain and helps patients recover faster after the operation.
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 is following patients who are getting a total knee replacement to learn more about how the surgery works and how patients do afterward. If you are planning to have knee replacement surgery for severe knee arthritis, joining this study may help you and others get better care.
This study compares two ways of doing rehabilitation after knee replacement surgery: one where you do exercises on your own at home, and one where a therapist supervises your exercises. The study will check if one way leads to more serious problems than the other.
