What Help Do You Need at Home After Knee or Hip Replacement? | BrightStar Care of Schaumburg

Surgeons plan the operation. Hospitals plan the discharge. Almost nobody plans the 3 to 6 weeks in between, when you're home, limited, and figuring out how to get from the bedroom to the bathroom safely. After a knee replacement, hip replacement, or major orthopedic surgery, the first weeks at home are the riskiest part of recovery. Falls happen, medications get missed, wound problems go unnoticed, and PT exercises get skipped because no one is there to help with safe movement.
