This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
BoneFit is a new service being tested in Hull to help people prepare for hip or knee replacement surgery. If you're in the trial, you'll either receive a personalized 8-week program of exercise, nutrition advice, and mental health support before surgery, or you'll receive usual care without the program. The goal is to see whether this preparation helps people heal faster, feel better, and avoid complications after surgery.
Right now, most hospitals don't offer special preparation programs for people waiting for hip or knee surgery. The researchers want to see whether helping people get physically and mentally stronger before surgery can improve their recovery and reduce hospital stays.

If you join the BoneFit group, you'll receive a personalized care plan tailored to your needs over 8 weeks before your surgery, including exercises to do, nutrition guidance, and support for your mental wellbeing. If you're assigned to the comparison group, you'll have baseline health tests now and return 3 months after surgery for follow-up tests to compare how both groups recover. Either way, you'll be followed to see how well you do after your operation.
