The Future of Joint Replacement
Thinking of Joint Replacement?
Joint replacement has helped many people suffering from osteoarthritis achieve a better quality of life, free from pain. Today, more than 400,000 total knee and total hip replacements are performed annually in the United States. The decision to have any type of surgery should be discussed with both your physician and family.
The Total Joint Center at Ogden Regional Medical Center offers individuals interested in joint replacement the highest degree of surgical expertise combined with a revolutionary post-operative experienced.
What is the Total Joint Center?
The Total Joint Center is a special unit at Ogden Regional Medical Center dedicated to the care of patients with total knee or total hip replacements. Instead of coming into a hospital for joint replacement surgery and then leaving with minimal support from surgeons and staff, the Total Joint Center offers a multiple-day, outdoor-themed program in which to recover.
Our environment emphasizes wellness, socialization, and maximizes patient recovery efforts and offers the following additional benefits:
• Dedicated caregivers who specialize in the care of patients with total joint replacement.
• Education for family and friends who may participate as “coaches” in the recovery process.
• An emphasis on a wellness environment that supports a speedy recovery and return to an active lifestyle.
• Our intensive rehabilitation prepares you and your coach for a safe transition from discharge to home.
• Group activities that supplement your individualized care.
The Total Joint Center places great emphasis on patient education and supporting the patient before, during and after surgery to enhance healing at every stage.
