If joint pain has been slowing you down, there’s encouraging news. MidAmerica Orthopaedics now offers an Outpatient Total Hip & Knee Replacement Program designed to help eligible patients have surgery and recover at home the very same day.

For many people, this approach feels less overwhelming than a hospital stay. You get expert surgical care—then head home to rest in your own bed, eat your own food, and start recovery in familiar surroundings.

What makes outpatient joint replacement different?

• Same-day discharge: No overnight hospital stay for many patients
• Comfort-focused recovery: Heal at home with clear guidance and support
• Lower infection risk: Less time in the hospital environment
• Faster return to daily life: Many patients get moving sooner than expected

The program is carefully planned from start to finish. Before surgery, you’ll know what to expect and how to prepare. After surgery, pain management, physical therapy, and follow-up care are coordinated so you’re never guessing what comes next.

Not everyone is a candidate—and that’s a good thing. MidAmerica’s care team takes the time to evaluate your health, lifestyle, and home support to make sure outpatient surgery is a safe and smart choice for you.

If hip or knee pain has been keeping you from walking comfortably, sleeping well, or enjoying everyday activities, this program may offer a smoother path back to motion without a long hospital stay.
