Summary

This study looks at whether doing breathing exercises before orthopedic surgery (like knee, hip, or fracture repair) can help your lungs work better after the operation. It involves 36 adults who have used tobacco and are at risk for breathing problems after surgery. Participants will practice strengthening their breathing muscles before surgery to see if it reduces complications and improves recovery.
