Your Guide to a Successful Recovery

[Pages:62]Your Guide to a Successful Recovery

Preparation, education and a pre-planned discharge are very important for a joint replacement surgery. This booklet was made to help you understand:

? What to expect through every step of your surgery process ? What you will need to do before and after surgery ? How to care for your new joint

Remember, this is just a guide. Your Care Coordinator, Physician, Physician's Assistant, Nurses or Therapists may add to or make changes to any of the suggested care plans. Always use their recommendations first and ask questions if you are unsure of any information. Keep your guide as a handy reference for at least the first year after your surgery.
