Preparing for a Successful Joint Replacement Surgery

This page provides links to educational videos for individuals preparing for total hip or knee replacement surgery. Please take the time to review these, as partnering with you helps ensure a safe surgical experience and optimal outcome.

Each video is only a few minutes in length and can be watched anytime along your personal journey of undergoing joint replacement. Please share these videos with family members and remember that your care may be individualized to your circumstance and medical history. Please communicate with your surgical team for specific questions.

In addition, there is a video of the Total Joint Class given monthly by James Hartford, MD in Palo Alto. This video is greater than one hour in length and is worth reviewing if you cannot attend this or a similar seminar in person.
