Total Joint Replacement Program
For those undergoing a Total Hip or Total Knee Replacement at Huggins Hospital.
The Total Joint Program is a free program to help guide you through the preparation, surgery and healing process of a Total Hip or Total Knee Replacement. Once you begin a discussion with one of our Orthopedic Surgeons about your procedure, your team from Huggins Hospital's Back Bay Rehabilitation will schedule a two-hour class for you. This class is offered twice a month and is taught by experts in Physical and Occupational Therapy, Nutrition Services and Nursing. As healthcare advocates, some surgical procedures require less time spent in the hospital after surgery. The more you know about your orthopedic surgery, hospitalization and recovery, the more prepared you will be for the process and positive outcomes.
What can you expect?
During the Total Joint Program Class, we will discuss modifications that can be made before surgery, including home set-up, nutrition guidelines, exercise and possible equipment that will prepare you for success. We will discuss what to expect with the surgical process and anticipated timelines for recovery. We encourage you to attend with a coach (spouse, friend, adult child, etc.) who can assist you before and after surgery. You will receive a copy of the presentation and a tote bag with tools to get you started with your preparation.
