Outpatient Total Joint Surgery

Thank you for choosing Missoula Bone & Joint Surgery Center for your total joint surgery. Joint replacement surgery is truly a life changing experience for most patients. After a relatively short period of time, you'll be able to re-engage in the lifestyle that's so important to you. More importantly, you'll finally feel relief from the chronic pain you've been experiencing. You can take comfort in the fact that joint replacement surgery is one of the greatest success stories in the history of medicine.

Outpatient surgery is the "gold standard" in joint replacement surgery, where by you will benefit from healing in the comfort of your own home. Our team has implemented a program that will help with pain management and support you through this experience. We believe that education and being prepared for your surgery ahead of time will enhance a positive surgical outcome. Please take the time to watch the video below and follow along with this downloaded (click on the link) Total Joint Surgery Patient Education Booklet. If needed, you can request a hardcopy of this booklet by calling (406) 829-5589.

Recovering from joint replacement surgery is a team effort. The job of "Coach" for your loved one will require you to offer support, encouragement and companionship and can make all the difference, not just at the surgery center, but especially throughout the weeks before and after the patient's surgery. We ask that you watch the video below together - patient and coach - so we are all on the same page.

Your healthcare team is happy to answer questions that aren't addressed in this video. Call your surgeons Orthopedic Assistant listed on your surgeons bio page, or call Krista K, RN Care Coordinator, at (406) 829-5589. If you have an emergent question or concern and it is after-hours please call our main clinic number answering service (406)721-4436 and the on-call Missoula Bone & Joint surgeon will return your call.

What Will The Day of Surgery Look Like For You

On the day of your surgery you will enter through the north entrance and be greeted by our reception staff, who will be available to triage any questions your coach may have during your surgery day. You and your coach will be taken to our first floor waiting area and a nurse will guide you back to the pre-op area where the nurse will prepare you for surgery. The surgeon and his team will also be checking in on you to answer any final questions. You will then be ready to go in to the surgical suite. The surgeon and his team will be prepped and ready to perform the surgery. Your surgeon or a staff member will call your coach when the surgery is complete and you will be taken to the post-op recovery area. Your coach will join you when you are in our extended recovery suite. You will be monitored closely during this recovery time. You will visit with a Therapist who will help you to walk, get in and out of a chair, and climb stairs. When you are cleared to safely return home your coach will drive around to the west exit where you and the discharge nurse will be waiting to help you transition in to your vehicle. We are available 24/7 to assist you with your recovery at home. We have found that the pre-op patient/coach education material is so beneficial that you have the confidence to relax and let your body heal.

**please note that masks are optional at our facility. If you would like our staff to wear a mask please request this.
