What You Need to Know to Prepare for Hip and Knee Surgery

The common equation that can make a dramatic effect on success of a new hip or knee is preparation, rehabilitation and recovery.
Our best advice is to make time for preparation and put major effort into your recovery and physical therapy. Katie McCarthy, BSN, RN, Total Joint Coordinator at Renown Health shares “Those who recover the best have high motivation with therapy recommendations. You should stay in touch with your registered nurse, physical therapist and occupational therapist to assist and address your questions and needs throughout your recovery.”

8/25/2024 … Excellent info … will be having total knee replacement surgery this coming Wednesday at Bert Fish in New Smyrna Beach Florida (Advent Health) … been viewing lots of videos for info … not looking forward to this experience but presently in a lot of pain … 70 year old female … thank you!❤

Great video 😊I wish my hospital did this before I have surgery

[@rangerider51]

So the year is 2022. I’ll be getting my left knee replaced soon and I’m 70. I’m hoping that I heal quickly and I’m not in the hospital only one day. I was walking over 10,000 steps every day last year. Not this year because it’s very painful. I want to get back to walking with my little dog as soon as possible. I’m going to hit physical therapy head on so I can get better quickly. Thanks for this long video. It was very informative.

Very well discussed Thank you

Can you develop additional problems with arthritis?

[@concepcionalcala4332]

I had total knee replacement and I'm so lucky to have a good team of medical and surgical staff who had provided me with written instructions to what to do and expect before, immediate and after my surgery. In short I am not lost with the process of my surgery; of healing; rehab ; daily expected activities; managing my pain. Patient instructions is the best tool, I'm a nurse myself but being a patient is different and I depended on the instructions a lot.

When she said, " We just pull the kneecap out of the way", and just ripps that thing open...I went straight for a Xanax and a massive bong hit!

[@rangerider51]

I meant I’m only in the hospital one day. I live alone with my little buddy. But I sure need this surgery.

I totally disagree with pain pills lasting four hours. Research Margo McCafery RN, MSN, FAAC pain management concept BTW I am an RN, MSN and had a total joint.

[@patriciatibi7115]

Nice class but the nurse talks too fast.

[@anothergoldilocks1077]

Not everyone is going home with a blood thinner. I have a bleeding disorder and cannot ever have any type of blood thinner. Just sayin’. 🙄
