Know What to Expect.
At Every Step.

Before Your Surgery

Good preparation before surgery is one of the most important things you can do for a smooth recovery. The steps below will help you arrive ready and confident.

Day of Surgery

Knowing exactly what to expect on surgery day removes the anxiety. Here's a clear, step-by-step guide so you and your family feel prepared.

Partial Knee Replacement — Recovery Guide

Partial (unicompartmental) knee replacement is a smaller operation than total knee replacement. Because only the damaged compartment is replaced, recovery is generally faster and less intensive.

Total Knee Replacement — Recovery Guide

Total knee replacement replaces the entire joint surface. Recovery is more involved than partial knee, but most patients experience dramatic, lasting pain relief. Commitment to physical therapy is essential.

Total Hip Replacement — Recovery Guide

Total hip replacement reliably eliminates hip arthritis pain. Recovery is often easier than patients expect — many are walking the same day. In this practice, routine primary anterior hip replacement does not use the old list of hip precautions. Your own plan is confirmed at your visit.

Nutrition for Healing

What you eat directly affects how well and how fast you recover. A few targeted changes to your diet in the weeks around surgery can meaningfully improve healing, reduce swelling, and restore your energy.

Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation

Physical therapy is not optional — it is medicine. The effort you put into PT in the first 6–12 weeks largely determines your long-term function, strength, and range of motion. Here's what to expect.

When to Call Us

Most recoveries go smoothly. But it is important to know which symptoms are expected and which require prompt attention. When in doubt, always call — we would rather hear from you than have you wait.
