What is same-day joint replacement?

In the past, joint replacement patients typically would spend three to four days in the hospital or even longer. But thanks to advances in joint replacement and pain management, patients can go home the same day of surgery. Now a patient’s rehabilitation begins within hours after surgery. If your surgeon and therapist determine it would be better for you to stay with us overnight following your surgery, our team of caregivers will continue to help you on your road to recovery on our inpatient unit.

 

Who is a good candidate for same-day joint replacement?

Patients are good fit for same-day joint replacement if:

  • Are overall in good health
  • Have a healthy body mass
  • Have a support person to help at home
  • Take a pre-operative training class and review educational materials
  • Have discussed one-day joint replacement discharge with their surgeon

What are the overall benefits of same-day joint replacement?

The overall benefits of same-day joint replacement are:

  • Rapid Recovery
  • Recovering in the Comfort of Your Own Home
  • Sleep in your own bed that night
  • Better outcomes as a result of your early mobility

How do I know if I'm a good fit for same-day joint replacement?

The only definitive way to know if you’re a good candidate is to speak with Dr. Overturf. We can schedule an appointment, review your medical history, and discuss both surgical and non-surgical options. If joint replacement is needed, we can review the same-day joint program with you.
