Each year, more than 1 million people make the decision to undergo joint replacement surgery. Even though the surgery can get you back on your feet and moving through life, it can be an overwhelming experience. The planning and preparation alone can be challenging.

We understand and created three must-have knee and hip replacement resources that will help you every step of the way. When you know what to expect before, during and after your joint replacement surgery, you rest easier and recover faster.

Resource No. 1: Joint Replacement Videos

Our joint replacement educational videos give you practical advice on actively participating in all stages of your care.

Resource No. 2: Complete Planning Guides

Our Total Hip Replacement Surgery and Total Knee Replacement Surgery planning guides contain convenient checklists, pre-surgery exercises, information about what to expect from the surgery and post-surgery recovery recommendations.

Resource No. 3: Joint Classes

If you’re already scheduled for surgery with us, but prefer a live class over watching the videos, our free, one-hour Total Joint Class covers everything from preparing for surgery to what will happen at the hospital to what you can expect when you return home. These class resources are a valuable quick-reference tool.

We also offer a pre-hab class called Get a Head Start. Losing extra weight and strengthening your arm and leg muscles beforehand can positively impact your recovery and quality of life after surgery.

Experience Matters

Experience MattersOur Orthopedic Surgeons performed over 1,700 joint replacements in one year at North Kansas City Hospital, more joint replacement procedures than any hospital in Kansas City.

If you’re considering joint replacement surgery, our resources are your first step. And when you’re ready for the next one, our orthopedic experts are here to help. Find an orthopedic physician on our website.
