Knee replacement patients: do your pain catheters stay put?
NCT ID NCT05961085
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study watches 100 knee replacement patients to see if a thin tube that delivers pain medicine near the thigh stays in the right place the day after surgery. Doctors will use ultrasound to check the tube's position and look for reasons it might move or stop working. The goal is to learn how often these tubes fail and why.
