Preparing for Total Joint Replacement

Before surgery, your orthopedic surgeon may make the following recommendations that you should:

• Occasionally, donate some of your own blood so that, if needed, you may receive it during or after surgery
• Stop taking certain medications before surgery
• Begin exercises to speed your recovery after surgery
• Evaluate your need for discharge planning, home therapy, and rehabilitation after surgery
