Joint Replacement in 1, 2, 3

Considering Joint Replacement Surgery?

We know it may seem overwhelming. That's why, at Mesa View Regional Hospital, we've designed our program to put you at ease.

In Just three steps, we'll see you through every phase of care, from pre-op education through your last inpatient therapy session. And you'll experience it all in a small group setting with people just like you. Together, you'll share successes, concerns - maybe even a few laughs - as you start to feel and move like you again.

Discovery

When it comes to joint replacement, the more informed you are, the better your experience. A few weeks before your surgery, you’ll attend a class, along with a personal coach (friend or family member who lends additional support). There, you’ll meet members of your care team and learn all about your procedure whether it be a hip, knee or other joint replacement. The care team will walk you through your hospital stay and postoperative care so you can plan for a smooth transition home and ask any and all questions to feel confident and prepared.

Surgery

On the big day, your surgeon will make sure you’re comfortable, and review what to expect before, during and immediately after your procedure. The board-certified orthopedic specialists at Mesa View Regional Hospital offer minimally invasive joint replacement solutions whenever possible, including the anterior hip approach—a muscle-sparing alternative to traditional procedures. These techniques often offer less pain, faster recovery and a more functional, natural-feeling joint.

Recovery

Finally, you'll spend a few days recovering in your private, patient room, which offers a personalized, home-away-from-home experience. Everyone's a little different, but on the first day, you'll work with a physical therapist to get up and moving. The next day, you'll attend group physical therapy. The day you leave, we’ll answer any last-minute questions — and send you home ready to rediscover the life you love.
