Summary
This study tested whether a weight loss program before total knee replacement helps people with obesity have better outcomes. 24 adults aged 50-75 with a BMI between 35 and 40 were randomly assigned to either a 3-month very low-calorie diet and exercise program before surgery, followed by a maintenance diet after, or to standard care. The goal was to see if the program was feasible and could reduce pain and improve knee function.
