New program aims to boost surgery success for hip and knee patients
NCT ID NCT06575621
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a pre-surgery support program for people waiting for hip or knee replacement. The program includes education, medical navigation, and exercise to improve risk factors like blood sugar and fitness. Researchers want to see if the program is feasible and helps patients get better surgical outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- pre-surgery support program (education, medical navigation, exercise)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this program could help patients improve their health before surgery, potentially leading to better recovery and fewer complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program may not significantly improve surgical outcomes.
