Examining metabolic changes after orthopedic surgery
Changes in Resting Metabolic Rate Following Orthopedic Surgery
This study looks at how orthopedic surgery affects metabolism in patients to see if it changes how their bodies use energy and to help create better nutrition plans for recovery.

What this trial studies
This observational project aims to assess the changes in resting metabolic rate (RMR) in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery. It will evaluate how surgery affects metabolism, particularly the shift from glucose to fat and protein utilization, and how long these changes last. By understanding these metabolic shifts, the study seeks to provide tailored postoperative nutrition recommendations to enhance recovery and outcomes for patients. The research will involve pre- and post-surgical assessments of nutrition, hydration, RMR, and body composition.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are individuals over 15 years old who are scheduled to undergo orthopedic surgery.
Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant or under 15 years old will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to personalized dietary recommendations that improve recovery and reduce complications after orthopedic surgery.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies on metabolic changes following various orthopedic surgeries have shown significant results, indicating that this approach is supported by existing research.
