Joint Replacement Patient Education

Are you planning to have a total joint replacement? We have resources, including a virtual joint replacement class, to help you learn about your procedure.

It is highly recommended that all joint replacement patients and their caregivers attend a class before surgery. Going through education before your joint replacement improves your outcomes such as shorter length of stay and fewer complications. If you’re not able to attend in person, this series of 8 short videos will help you learn what to expect before your surgery, during your hospital stay, and when you return home. Topics covered include pain management, physical therapy exercises, equipment and more.
