outpatient total joint replacement in San Antonio

Outpatient total joint replacement

While joint replacement surgery has traditionally been relegated to the hospital setting, recent advances in mulit-modal pain management as well as more targeted physical therapy, have allowed for these operative procedures to be done in an outpatient setting in a safe and efficient fashion.

Advantages to having your joint replaced in this setting includes a lower infection rate, more personalized nursing and physical therapy, as well as the ability to sleep in your own bed without the constant distractions typically found in a hospital.

Ask Dr. Morrey if you’d be a potential candidate for an outpatient joint replacement.
