Leg vein problems may slow recovery after knee surgery
NCT ID NCT07577141
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will follow 100 people getting a total knee replacement to see if those with chronic venous insufficiency (poor blood flow in leg veins) have more wound healing problems. Participants will have an ultrasound before surgery to check their veins and then be monitored for a year. The goal is to learn whether vein health should be a routine part of pre-surgery risk assessment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If this study finds a clear link, doctors could better identify patients at risk for wound problems before knee replacement surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not test any new drug or procedure, so it cannot directly improve outcomes.
