Joint Class, Pre-op - Virginia, MN

The key to a successful joint replacement begins with preoperative education. Research shows that patients who are better informed about their surgery and recovery:

• Know more about what to expect
• Take an active role in their recovery
• Have better outcomes

You and your recovery assistant are encouraged to watch a recorded education class at least 2 weeks before your surgery date.
The class content will include:

• Preparing for joint replacement surgery
• Discharge planning
• What to expect during your hospital stay
• What to expect during early recovery
• Physical and occupational therapy

View the recorded class on the Essentia Health YouTube channel.

If you have questions after viewing the recorded session, contact your orthopedic surgeon's office.
