FAQs About Outpatient Joint Replacement
Is Outpatient Joint Replacement Safe? What Are the Risks of Having Same-Day Surgery?
Research done by IBJI orthopedic surgeons David Raab, MD and Ritesh Shah, MD, found no increased risk to patients having outpatient joint replacement surgery at an ambulatory surgical center.
Newer technologies, such as robotic and sensor-assisted techniques, help facilitate outpatient surgical procedures and aid in a faster recovery.
Outpatient joint replacement surgery is not typically recommended for older patients, patients with significant medical conditions, or patients with an anticipated complex surgery.
What Happens Before You Can Be Discharged After Outpatient Joint Replacement?
IBJI patients who undergo outpatient joint replacement surgery are typically back on their feet after surgery and discharged by their surgeon the same day. You will need someone to drive you and help you at home while you recover.

Yes, nursing care and physical therapy will continue at home with the help of a home healthcare provider as you recover from outpatient total joint replacement surgery.
When Do You Start Physical Therapy After Outpatient Joint Replacement?
