What to Expect

Recovery After Surgery

If you are anticipating a hip replacement or knee replacement, here are frequently asked questions about recovery following surgery.

Resuming Sex After Joint Surgery

Sex is a normal and an important part of human nature that represents physical, mental and spiritual well-being.

Resuming Sports After Knee Replacement

Total knee replacement is a successful procedure in the majority of patients with arthritis. It relieves pain and restores the function and alignment of the joint.

Travel After Joint Replacement Surgery

You may be worried about traveling in the first months following surgery. One concern is sitting in a car or airplane seat for long stretches of time and the risk of forming a blood clot in your leg – also known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Several studies have shown that, if appropriate measures are taken, it is safe to travel soon after your joint replacement without an increased risk of developing a blood clot for most patients.

Traveling Abroad for Joint Replacement

You might be considering having your surgery outside of your home community. Whether traveling outside of the United States or within the United States for medical care, it’s best to discuss your options with your surgeon.
