Clinical Trial Summary

Total Knee Replacement (TKR) significantly improves function, pain, and overall quality of life in patients with end-stage arthritis of the knee. However, studies show that obesity increases complications and costs associated with TKR. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) clinical guidelines recommend that patients with a BMI > 25kg/m2 lose 5% of their body weight prior to surgery. Consequently, although it is not clear how to patients or providers achieve weight loss in this population, some providers and hospitals decline to perform TKR in patients with obesity. Low Calorie meal replacement diets (LCD) are a feasible way to safely promote short-term weight loss of 8-15% at 3-6 months prior to some elective surgeries. This is a pilot efficacy study to test whether a short-term program using a 3-month LCD leads to weight loss and improved patient reported and functional outcomes. 75 patients eligible for knee replacement surgery and willing to undergo non-operative weight management treatment at NYU Langone Comprehensive Obesity Center. This study will establish feasibility and weight loss outcomes in preparation for a multicenter effectiveness trial.
