Have a question? We’re here to help. Find quick answers about care, recovery, and what to expect, or reach out to us directly.
How long will I be in the hospital?
Your length of stay depends on the goals to be accomplished and how you progress after surgery. Certain goals will need to be accomplished before you go home, like walking with minimal assistance and pain managed on oral pain medications. Some patients may discharge the same day as their surgery while others may have a one-night stay. Your discharge will be when it’s clinically appropriate.
When will my family or friends be able to see me after surgery?
You will be assisted in repositioning your feet in bed for your comfort or dangling them at the bedside. You will start your activity with the physical therapist and/or nursing the day of your surgery. It’s important to be out of bed and take a short walk after surgery to lessen the risk of blood clots.
What transportation will I need to go home from the hospital?
You may go home in a private vehicle of your choice. Be sure the vehicle has plenty of legroom and a reclining seat that is not too high or too low to get in and out of safely. You will need assistance with transfers in and out of the vehicle until you are stronger and can do more for yourself. Local transportation services to home are available. There is a fee for this service. Let your nurse or discharge planner Orthopedic Navigator know if you would like this arranged.
How do I obtain the necessary equipment needed for activity and home use?
Your occupational therapist will give you tools for activities of daily living while you are in the hospital. However, if you need a front wheeled walker or a raised toilet seat, you may want to shop the thrift stores. Not all insurance companies, including Medicare, cover equipment needs, so know your benefits. If you don’t have what you need by the time you have surgery, your case manager Orthopedic Navigator can assist in options on how to obtain this equipment.
I have steps or stairs at home. Who will teach me to go up and down them?
Your physical therapist will teach you how to safely climb up and down steps or stairs. If your home environment has steps or stairs, you may want to modify your living situation, so you do not have to climb up and down steps or stairs on a daily basis.
How soon will I be able to return to normal daily activities?
You will have a modified lifestyle during the first six weeks with limited activities and can return to normal daily activities within three to six months.
When will I be able to drive?
Certain activity restrictions may prevent you from driving safely. Until these restrictions are no longer a consideration, you will need to have someone drive you to your appointments. Talk with your surgeon during your follow-up appointment.
