Comparing climate impact of common orthopedic surgeries
This study looks at how much different hand and foot surgeries affect the environment. If you are having one of these procedures at Danderyd's Hospital, you may be able to help researchers learn which methods have a smaller climate footprint.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for one of these specific surgeries: carpal tunnel release, trigger finger release, wound revision, amputation of a finger or toe, removal of metal implants, or repairing a tendon in the hand or foot.
- Your surgery will take place at Danderyd's Hospital.

This study looks at how the COVID-19 pandemic changed outcomes and experiences for people who had surgery in Stockholm during the study period. It may help hospitals prepare better plans for patients during future outbreaks.
This study looks at how your daily physical activity before and after planned surgery affects your recovery and long-term health. The goal is to understand if staying active can help you have fewer complications and better outcomes.
This study tests the best way to treat certain broken bones in your hand (specifically in the middle section of bones that support your fingers). Researchers want to see if a newer treatment approach helps your hand heal better and work normally again.
This study looks at how your physical activity before surgery affects your recovery and long-term health. Researchers will track activity levels to see if they predict complications or survival after your operation. This could help tailor care to each patient.
This study measures the environmental impact (carbon footprint) of different surgical techniques for removing part of the colon or rectum. It aims to find which approach is more sustainable without compromising patient care.
This study looks at how different surgical environments affect the stress levels of orthopaedic surgeons. It compares doing joint replacements the traditional way versus using a robot, to see which approach might be easier on the surgeon.
