Your Joint Replacement Journey

This site is designed to be a guide and resource for patients and their families who are either waiting for or preparing for surgery at University Hospital. It describes how patients will move through the process starting pre-operatively to surgery and to the eventual discharge home. Through this site, patients will find the necessary information to enable them to function safely throughout their recovery process.
