At Decatur Orthopedic Center in Mt. Zion, Illinois, we've been pioneers in outpatient joint replacements since June 2018, offering safe, evidence-based protocols tailored to each patient's unique needs. Our outpatient approach prioritizes your comfort and convenience, allowing you to recover in the familiarity of your own home rather than a hospital setting. On the day of your outpatient joint replacement, you'll arrive early for surgery, which typically lasts an hour. Following surgery, you'll recover in our specialized orthopedic facility and undergo two sessions of physical therapy to ensure your readiness for discharge later in the afternoon. Common concerns such as pain management are addressed with evidence-based strategies, including pre-dispensed pain medications and comprehensive multi-modal approaches. Plus, our innovative My Mobility app keeps you connected with your care team, providing vital support and communication throughout your entire surgical journey. Trust Decatur Orthopedic Center for a seamless outpatient joint replacement experience, prioritizing your comfort, safety, and successful recovery.
