Prepare for Joint Replacement Surgery

Having any type of surgery can be an ordeal involving uncertainty, possibly pain, and the rigors of recovery, among other issues. If you need joint replacement surgery, you have at least one advantage. Because it is elective and not emergency surgery, you can prepare for the procedure and what awaits you afterwards. Advancements in joint replacement surgery have allowed for shorter hospital stays, less pain and fewer complications, but it is still major surgery.
