PRE-OP
Pre-op preparation.
A clear timeline of what to expect and what to do in the weeks leading up to surgery. Following this checklist closely is one of the strongest predictors of a smooth recovery.
2–4 weeks before surgery
— Preparation phase
The week of surgery
— Final preparation
You’ll receive a personalized pre-op packet with specific medication instructions, your scheduled arrival time, and a number to call with any last-minute questions. When in doubt, call the office.
Post-op protocols.
A quick summary of what each protocol looks like, plus a downloadable PDF of the full instructions. These supplement — they don’t replace — the in-office discharge instructions you’ll receive after surgery.
PROTOCOL 01
Anterior total hip replacement
Direct anterior approach with no posterior precautions — most patients walk the same day, climb stairs by week one, and return to most activities within four to six weeks.
DAY 0
Walk with assistance, full weight-bearing as tolerated
WEEK 1
Stairs, transition to cane, daily walking program
WEEK 2–4
Off assistive device; return to driving (left hip in an automatic at the early end, right hip toward 4 weeks)
WEEK 4–6
Return to most desk work, light activities, swimming
MONTH 3
Return to golf, hiking, doubles tennis
PROTOCOL 02
Quad-sparing total knee replacement
Muscle-sparing technique that preserves the quadriceps tendon — typically faster strength return and earlier independent mobility than traditional approaches.
DAY 0
Walk with walker, full weight-bearing
WEEK 1
Begin home physical therapy, ROM exercises
WEEK 2–4
Outpatient PT begins, transition to cane
WEEK 4–6
Off assistive device, return to driving
MONTH 3–6
Return to most pre-op activities; continued strength gains through 1 year
PROTOCOL 03
General pre-op instructions
Universal pre-op guidance applicable to most surgical patients — medication management, fasting, hygiene, and what to bring on the day of surgery.
2 WEEKS
Stop blood thinners as directed, complete H&P
1 WEEK
Pack hospital bag, set up recovery zone at home
NIGHT BEFORE
Chlorhexidine shower, NPO after midnight
MORNING OF
Second chlorhexidine shower, take only approved meds with sip of water
PROTOCOL 04
General recovery FAQ
Common recovery questions answered: incision care, swelling, sleep position, when to call the office, and red flags that warrant immediate attention.
DAILY
Walking, ice, elevation, prescribed medications
WEEK 1
Showering OK, keep incision dry until cleared
WEEK 2
First post-op visit, suture/staple removal if applicable
CALL US
Fever > 101.5°F, calf pain, drainage, severe new pain
Driving & activity
trictions.
General timelines after hip or knee replacement. These are starting points — your surgeon’s clearance, your strength return, and any required follow-up imaging take precedence over any timeline.
Driving — right side
— 2–4 weeks (hip) · 4–6 weeks (knee)
Off all narcotic pain medication, able to perform an emergency stop with confidence. Right foot operates the pedals, so right-sided surgery takes longer.
Driving — left side
— 1–2 weeks (hip) · 2–3 weeks (knee)
Automatic transmission only — the left leg isn’t used to drive. Off narcotic medication first. Confirm with your surgeon at follow-up.
Return to desk work
— 2–6 weeks
Most patients return to remote/desk work within 2 weeks; in-office work typically between weeks 4 and 6 depending on commute, side, and procedure.
Walking & low-impact
— Day 0 onward
Walking, stationary cycling, swimming (after incision heals) are encouraged from the start.
Golf, hiking, doubles tennis
— 3 months
Generally cleared at the 3-month visit assuming normal strength and ROM progress.
Running & high-impact
— Discuss individually
High-impact activities are evaluated case-by-case based on implant choice and goals.
Pain management.
A multimodal approach designed to minimize narcotic use while keeping you comfortable enough to walk, sleep, and do physical therapy. Most patients are off opioids within 1–2 weeks.
01
Regional anesthesia
Nerve blocks placed before surgery provide 12–24 hours of localized pain control with minimal grogginess.
02
Scheduled non-narcotics
Acetaminophen and an anti-inflammatory taken on a schedule — your foundation, not as-needed rescue.
03
Short-course opioids
Limited supply for breakthrough pain, especially in the first 5–7 days. Goal is to taper off as soon as possible.
04
Ice, elevation, movement
Non-medication tools that materially reduce pain: cold therapy 4–6× daily, leg elevation, and short, frequent walks.
Insurance & billing.
The office accepts most major insurance plans. Coverage and out-of-pocket costs vary by plan — please call before your visit so we can verify benefits and explain any expected cost-sharing.
Commonly accepted plans
This list is illustrative — the most reliable answer is a quick benefits verification call before your visit. We’ll handle that for you.

Frequently asked
questions.
Quick answers to the questions most patients ask in their first visit. If you don’t see yours here, write it down and bring it with you — every visit ends with time set aside for your questions.
How soon will I be walking after surgery?
A subvastus approach — under the quadriceps tendon, not through it. Less pain, faster strength return, and greater range of motion in early recovery.
Will my procedure be inpatient or outpatient?
No. The Mako robotic arm doesn’t operate autonomously. Every motion is controlled by the surgeon. The system enforces the surgical plan — it prevents the kind of small alignment errors that can compound over years — but the operation itself is still surgeon-led from start to finish.
When can I drive again?
No. The Mako robotic arm doesn’t operate autonomously. Every motion is controlled by the surgeon. The system enforces the surgical plan — it prevents the kind of small alignment errors that can compound over years — but the operation itself is still surgeon-led from start to finish.
How long does recovery actually take?
No. The Mako robotic arm doesn’t operate autonomously. Every motion is controlled by the surgeon. The system enforces the surgical plan — it prevents the kind of small alignment errors that can compound over years — but the operation itself is still surgeon-led from start to finish.
Do you take my insurance?
No. The Mako robotic arm doesn’t operate autonomously. Every motion is controlled by the surgeon. The system enforces the surgical plan — it prevents the kind of small alignment errors that can compound over years — but the operation itself is still surgeon-led from start to finish.
What's the difference between robotic, anterior, and quad-sparing?
No. The Mako robotic arm doesn’t operate autonomously. Every motion is controlled by the surgeon. The system enforces the surgical plan — it prevents the kind of small alignment errors that can compound over years — but the operation itself is still surgeon-led from start to finish.
Will I need physical therapy?
No. The Mako robotic arm doesn’t operate autonomously. Every motion is controlled by the surgeon. The system enforces the surgical plan — it prevents the kind of small alignment errors that can compound over years — but the operation itself is still surgeon-led from start to finish.
How long do modern joint replacements last?
No. The Mako robotic arm doesn’t operate autonomously. Every motion is controlled by the surgeon. The system enforces the surgical plan — it prevents the kind of small alignment errors that can compound over years — but the operation itself is still surgeon-led from start to finish.
