Hip Replacement: Instructions for Before & After Surgery

At The Jewish Hospital, you'll be surrounded and supported by a team of people who are here to help your surgery go smoothly, manage your pain, and help you return to movement quickly and comfortably.

You, along with any family or friends who may be helping you recover after surgery, are an important part of this team. Our experts have developed a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to help you know what to expect at every point in your hip replacement surgery.

This guide will be given to you in a binder before your surgery. It's yours to keep, and we encourage you to bring it with you to the hospital so we can refer to it together during your recovery.

We're also providing the content of this binder here on our Web site. We want to make sure it's easily available to you as well as any family or friends who may be assisting you with your hip replacement. Perhaps a son or daughter will be coming in from out of town to help you recuperate. Or you may have a friend who will stay with you for awhile. No matter what your situation, it's important to us that we provide you and anyone else important to you with the education you need to return to your active lifestyle.
