Preparing for Your Joint Replacement Surgery

Once you and your orthopedic physician have decided that joint replacement surgery is right for you, it is recommended to prepare yourself and your home before surgery.

At UMass Memorial Medical Center, we offer informational classes for patients considering a total hip or knee replacement surgery. These free classes at our Medical Center in Worcester – focus on what to expect before, during and after surgery. Patients are welcome to bring their caregivers and adult family members.  Educational materials and free aids to assist with daily living are provided.
