NCT ID NCT07302724
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 104 people having knee replacement surgery to see if removing the surgical drain before or after starting gentle knee movement exercises (called continuous passive motion) reduces fluid buildup. The goal is to find the best timing to help healing and reduce swelling. Results will help doctors improve recovery after knee replacement.
