Before surgery, joint replacement patients are strongly encouraged to participate in a free, online, pre-surgery orientation led by a clinical education specialist. The perspective and advice shared includes what to wear after surgery, how to prepare your home for the recovery process, and what equipment or supplies you might need. Patients who go through Joint Care Orientation prior to surgery typically have a much better experience than those who do not.

This free 90-minute class uses Webex, a video conferencing service that works on any mobile phone, laptop, desktop, tablet or other device with a camera, audio capabilities and internet access.
