Joint Center
Joint Replacement Pre-Operative Class
To
learn more about what to expect from joint replacement surgery, you are
invited to attend a preoperative class.
If you are considering
the procedure or are just curious about our program, you are welcome
to attend any of our classes.
Once you are scheduled for total joint
replacement, we recommend attending the class about four weeks before
your procedure. We understand the importance of family and friends
as you recover from surgery and we fully support their involvement
by encouraging you to designate a recovery “coach”. This
friend or family member will support you through this process.
Please encourage him or her to attend the class with you.
The class is three parts and includes nursing information,
physical/occupational therapy information, and discharge planning information.
