Outpatient joint replacement is an advanced surgical approach that allows patients to undergo total hip or total knee replacement and return home the same day of surgery. Using modern surgical techniques, minimally invasive approaches, advanced pain management, and coordinated post-operative care, patients can safely recover in the comfort of their own home rather than staying overnight in the hospital.

Our outpatient program is built around a comprehensive care pathway that begins well before surgery and continues through recovery. Patients receive preoperative education, individualized surgical planning, and a structured rehabilitation plan to support a smooth and successful outcome.

Outpatient joint replacement is not for everyone, but many patients qualify. Ideal candidates typically:

• Are in generally good health with well-controlled medical conditions
• Have a body mass index (BMI) within an acceptable range
• Do not have significant heart, lung, or uncontrolled chronic conditions
• Are motivated and able to actively participate in rehabilitation
• Have a safe home environment with support from a caregiver
• Can walk independently or with minimal assistance prior to surgery
