Summary
This study looks at whether drinking a daily whole-food plant-based smoothie for two weeks before revision knee replacement surgery can lower inflammation and improve pain after the operation. About 24 adults scheduled for surgery will either add the smoothie to their diet or make no changes. Researchers will measure how easy the diet is to follow, changes in gut bacteria, and levels of pain and inflammation.
