Evarts Joint Center
Pre-Operative Classes for Joint Center Patients
The Evarts Joint Center conducts bi-monthly, 90-minute joint classes for patients who will be having joint replacement surgery. Attendance is very important as the class will prepare you for a smooth experience in the hospital and to do your part after discharge to ensure a full recovery. We encourage family members and caregivers to attend as well.
To sign up for class or to ask questions about the class, call (585) 784-2966.
You'll find out about:
- The mechanics of the joint
- The joint replacement procedure
- How to prepare for surgery
- Anesthesia options
- Your hospital stay
- Pain management
- The recovery process
- Rehabilitation options
- Equipment you may need after surgery
You'll meet the physical therapist, occupational therapist and social worker you'll be working with. There will be plenty of time for questions; plus, when you leave the class, you'll receive a business card with contact numbers to use if you have questions after you've left the session.
