Total Joint Replacement Education

For patients scheduling surgery at REX or WakeMed or Raleigh Orthopaedic Surgery Center

The goal of the Raleigh Orthopaedic Total Joint Pre-Operative educational materials is to improve patient’s functional outcome following surgery. The slides below will cover ambulation, transfers, assistive devices, adaptive equipment, pain management, diet and weight control, pre-operative and post-operative exercises, balance, return to work and activity, post-operative rehab milestones and precautions. You can choose to review them at your leisure prior to your scheduled total joint replacement procedure.
