Advanced options for hip replacement surgery

Having hip replacement surgery doesn’t have to mean spending days in the hospital. For some hip replacements, you may go home to recover the same day as your procedure. During your pre-surgery evaluation, your doctor will explain if you will need to stay in the hospital after the procedure. Your doctor and orthopedic care team work together to deliver personalized care before, during and after surgery.

Advanced surgical techniques: Robotic-assisted hip replacement

Robotic arm-assisted surgery systems allow for a personalized, 3D surgical plan. Robotic assisted surgery is often used for greater accuracy in total hip replacements. Robotic-assisted procedures allow your orthopedic surgeon to have better implant alignment and positioning. Total hip replacements help relieve pain caused by arthritis, joint degeneration and osteoarthritis (OA).

Supporting your hip replacement recovery

Your orthopedic care team will explain what to expect during hip replacement surgery and throughout your recovery. Together, we’ll discuss:

  • How to use a walker or cane
  • Managing pain, swelling and joint stiffness
  • Nutrition before and after surgery
  • Rehabilitation services with physical therapy and occupational therapy
  • Wound healing instructions

Your hip surgery recovery team will prepare you for caring for yourself at home after surgery. We’re here to support you during your recovery. If you need more care in the hospital, we have an orthopedic inpatient unit with skilled nursing and specialized rehabilitation services.

Get a second opinion

If you have questions about your orthopedic diagnosis or treatment plan, a second opinion can help you better understand your care options. Our orthopedic specialists can review your medical records, imaging and medical history to provide an additional perspective on your condition and recommended treatment. Before your appointment, check with your insurance provider to find out if a second opinion is covered. We can also request your medical records and imaging from your doctor on your behalf so they can be shared with your care team before your visit.
