Two award winning centers in Hartford
Surgery is performed either at Connecticut Joint Replacement Institute at Saint Francis Hospital or Lighthouse Surgery Center. Both facilities specialize in hip and knee replacement surgeries and have publicly available complication rates well below the national average.
What rehabilitation looks like
Hip. Many patients benefit from physical therapy, which is typically twice a week for 6 weeks starting 2 weeks after surgery. Most recovery occurs within 6–12 weeks, often sooner.
Knee. Outpatient physical therapy begins approximately 2 weeks after surgery. Obtaining good motion is critical. By 6–8 weeks most patients walk comfortably, and full recovery takes about 3 months.
