Outpatient Surgery: Joint Replacements

Did you know, shoulder, hip, knee and ankle
replacements can now be performed on an outpatient basis?

When appropriate, patients can avoid hospital stays and recover in the comfort of their own home.

With outpatient surgery, you get the same quality of care while getting the convenience of being home the same day.

Outpatient Surgery

Outpatient surgery can also offer other benefits, including:

  • Convenience (you don’t have to walk through a large medical center)
  • Lower Cost
  • Reduced chance of infection (since you are not exposed to the other sick patients found at hospitals).
