Before your knee or hip replacement surgery, ask your doctor questions like these:

  • How should I prepare my home? How much help will I need and for how long?
  • How many days will I be in the hospital?
  • What will my pain be like and how will we manage it?
  • How long does recovery to take?
  • What will physical therapy be like?
  • Is there anything I won't be able to do after surgery?
