What this trial studies

This observational study evaluates how standardized perioperative nutritional care affects recovery outcomes in patients undergoing elective total hip or knee arthroplasty at St. Anne's University Hospital in Brno. The approach includes preoperative education, nutritional risk screening, and carbohydrate loading before anesthesia, followed by early postoperative refeeding. Data on demographic and surgical variables, nutritional status, and complications will be collected to assess the effectiveness of this nutritional support. The study aims to provide evidence on improving recovery and reducing complications after joint replacement surgery.
