Always
be
prepared.

It's a motto you can live with, and we want to make sure you do.
That's why our team of joint replacement experts developed a comprehensive pre- and post-surgery camp. The camp is lead by our Orthopedic Joint Navigator, who will make sure you receive the information you need to help alleviate anxiety about the "unknown" of surgery and the hospital stay.

You'll see diagrams of a normal joint, an arthritic joint and one that demonstrates your implant. A physical therapist will address both pre-operative and post-operative exercises, as well as the progression of activity during the hospital stay. An occupational therapist will explain the use of assistive devices during the post-operative period.

Pain management and anesthesia during surgery will be described by an anesthesiologist. A case manager will discuss discharge options and provide educational packets that include information tailored to your needs. A few weeks after surgery, you'll be invited to a Camp Alumni Brunch, where you can see the staff, give us feedback regarding your experience, ask questions and talk with other joint replacement alumni.
