Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Foot Injuries and Disorders
In brief
This is a prospective randomized trial wherein participants will be assigned to NutraHeal™, NutraHeal Plus™, or standard of care for 1 week prior to foot surgery and 3 weeks after surgery. The central hypothesis is that among patients undergoing surgery, nutritional supplements that maintain energy production, muscle structure, immune function, and response to pain will support recovery from surgery.
