Hip Replacement Preparation and Rehabilitation
There are a number of things you can
do to help prepare for surgery and
plan ahead for your homecoming. The
better prepared you are the less anxious
you will be. It has been shown that patients
who have a good knowledge and
understanding of their surgical procedure
and what to expect afterwards, respond
better to treatment and rehabilitation.
Patients are often scheduled for
pre-surgery tests, like x-rays, blood
and urine samples to check your
general health status, and to rule out the
possibility of an underlying infection. Make
sure your doctor knows about any preexisting conditions and the use of long-term
medication.
