Joint Replacement in 1, 2, 3

Considering joint replacement surgery? We know it may seem overwhelming. That's why at Sharon Regional's Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center, we've designed our joint replacement program to put you at ease.

In just three steps, we'll see you through every phase of care, from pre-op education through your last inpatient therapy session. Along the way, you'll have the support of a dedicated care team - including your surgeon, physical and occupational therapists and more - committed to helping you get back to your best.

Discovery

When it comes to joint replacement, the more informed you are, the better your experience. A few weeks before your surgery, you'll meet one-on-one with our orthopedic clinical manager, where you'll learn all about your procedure, hospital stay and postoperative care; plan for a smooth transition home; and ask any and all questions to feel confident and prepared. For your convenience, we'll also take care of all pre-admission testing in that same appointment.

Surgery

On the big day, you'll check into your room on our dedicated orthopedic floor, where your surgeon will make sure you're comfortable and review what to expect before, during and immediately after your procedure. The board-certified specialists at Sharon offer minimally invasive joint replacement solutions whenever possible, including the anterior hip approach - a muscle-sparing alternative to traditional procedures. These techniques often offer less pain, faster recovery and a more functional, natural-feeling joint.

Recovery

Immediately following surgery, you'll head back to your room and enjoy a uniquely supportive experience as you recover. Everyone's a little different, but on the first day, you'll work with a physical therapist to get up and moving. The next day, you'll attend group physical therapy, building camaraderie with your floormates. The day you leave, we'll answer any last-minute questions - and send you home ready to rediscover the life you love.
