This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
You're scheduled for knee replacement surgery, and this study wants to help make sure you're as satisfied with the results as possible. Half of the participants will receive standard surgical care. The other half will also get a personalized tool that predicts how well your surgery is likely to go, plus screening for depression or emotional stress, and customized physical therapy before your operation. All participants will be followed for one year after surgery.
Even after successful knee replacement surgery, some patients aren't happy with how they feel or how well their knee works. This study is testing whether preparing patients mentally and physically before surgery—and giving them realistic expectations about their recovery—can help more people feel satisfied with their results.

If you join, you'll fill out health questionnaires using your patient portal before meeting with the study team 2–3 months before your scheduled surgery. At that visit, you'll sign consent forms and may be randomly assigned to either standard care or standard care plus a personalized prediction tool and mental health screening. Depending on your group, you may meet with a psychiatrist or behavioral health specialist, and you may receive extra physical therapy before surgery. After your operation, you'll continue in the standard care pathway and complete follow-up surveys at 1 year to report how satisfied you are with your results.
