Total hip replacement

How do you make your surgery a positive and meaningful experience? Many patients and their care circles (families, friends and those close to them) find it helpful to learn as much as they can before the surgery.

This information was created to help you prepare for surgery and guide you through your recovery. The information is not meant to replace advice you receive from your health care team.

Please try to read the entire hip replacement section before your surgery. Read it at your own pace and write down any questions.

If you like, bring the printed version with you when you come to the hospital for your surgery. Your health care team will work with you and your care circle to create a recovery plan that is right for you. They will be available to answer any questions you have.

Your health care team looks forward to caring for you!
