Joint Replacement
Orthopedic surgeons at Lutheran Kosciusko Hospital specialize in total joint replacement of the hips, knees and shoulders, helping bring life-changing relief to those suffering with severe arthritis and other degenerative conditions.
Considering joint replacement surgery? We know it may seem overwhelming. That's why at the Lutheran Kosciusko Hospital Orthopedic Center, we've designed the program to put you at ease.
In just three steps, we'll see you through every phase of care, from pre-op education through your last therapy session.
Step 1
Discovery:
When it comes to joint replacement, the more informed you are, the better your experience. Learn all about your procedure and postoperative care, plan for a smooth transition home and ask any and all questions to feel confident and prepared.
Step 2
Surgery:
On the big day, your surgeon will review what to expect before, during and immediately after your procedure. Board-certified specialists at Lutheran Kosciusko Hospital offer minimally invasive joint replacement solutions whenever possible, including the anterior hip approach—a muscle-sparing alternative to traditional procedures. These techniques often offer less pain, faster recovery and a more functional, natural-feeling joint.
Step 3
Recovery:
Immediately following surgery, you'll begin your recovery in a private space where your supportive friend or family member can be involved. On the same day as surgery, you'll work with a physical therapist to get up and moving. Before discharge, we'll answer any last-minute questions—and send you home ready to rediscover the life you love.
