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.
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 study tests a special nutrition shake to help older adults recover after major hip, knee, or abdominal surgery. If you're 70 or older and having a planned surgery, drinking this shake might support your healing.
