How Can I Prepare for Orthopedic Surgery?

The most important thing you can do before and after an orthopedic surgery is to follow your surgeon’s orders precisely. Since the types of orthopedic surgeries vary greatly, the specifics of your pre and post-operative care plan will depend on the type of surgery you receive.  

However, there are a number of ways you can ensure a successful surgery regardless of the procedure.

  • Maintain your fitness levels where possible and practical
  • Avoid smoking, especially 2 weeks prior to surgery
  • Make sure you’re prepared to rent/purchase assistive devices if necessary
  • If you’ll need crutches or a walker post-surgery, practice using them at home
