Guided Care for
Smooth Healing

Taking care of yourself after surgery sets the stage for the best possible outcome.

Surgical Wound Care

Proper care of your incision is key to preventing infection and promoting healing. Follow these simple guidelines to keep your wound safe and comfortable.
Dressings are usually waterproof, showering is allowed.
Follow instructions for changing or removing dressings as advised by your care team.
Avoid scrubbing the area; pat dry gently after bathing.

Protect Your Surgical Repair

Some patients may need a brace or support to protect the treated joint. Using it correctly helps ensure a safe recovery.
Use as directed, especially when bearing weight or moving the joint.
Gradually increase range of motion as recommended.
You may remove supports while resting, showering, or under guidance from your care team.

Post-Op Medications

Rehabilitation

Depending on your procedure, a rehab plan or physical therapy program may be recommended to help fully restore function or speed up recovery.

Stay Connected with Your Care Team

Staying connected with your care team ensures your recovery stays on track and any concerns are addressed promptly.
Attend all scheduled follow-ups to monitor healing and progress.
Ask questions about activity, pain, or any concerns.
Contact your provider between visits if urgent issues arise.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy may be recommended to complement your recovery plan. Working with a licensed therapist ensures you perform exercises safely and effectively, helping you get back to your regular activities faster.
Frequency and timing depend on your specific procedure and recovery progress.
Therapy may begin immediately or after an initial healing period, based on your provider’s instructions.
Exercises focus on flexibility, stability, and strengthening the joint.
