What this trial studies
This study evaluates the post-operative recovery of patients with medial monocompartmental gonarthrosis undergoing knee replacement surgery. It compares two rehabilitation approaches: a one-day protocol where patients are discharged home 24 hours post-surgery, and a fast protocol where patients are discharged to a rehabilitation department 48 hours after surgery. Recovery outcomes will be assessed using the Knee Society Score (KSS) questionnaire at various intervals up to 12 months post-operation. The study is prospective, randomized, and conducted at a single center.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 40 to 85 with primary medial monocompartmental gonarthrosis grade 3-4.
Not a fit: Patients with cognitive decline, psychiatric disorders, or those outside the age range of 40 to 85 may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved recovery protocols for knee surgery patients, potentially reducing hospital stays and enhancing rehabilitation outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with similar rehabilitation approaches, indicating potential for success in this study.
