What happens during hip and knee replacement surgery

In this video, I will take you through our normal hip and knee replacement day. This is not an in depth video about the surgery itself, but serves to give you a few expectations about what happens on the day of surgery, with the operation, anaesthetic, and then going home later. Whilst we tailor each patients journey as required, this video is a general guideline of what things might be like for you. I hope you find it helpful.

this came timely - my bilateral hip surgery is in 2 days. I didn't have to do a urine test - is that normal?

Different doctors are likely to do different things.
Chen-Wein did my knee November 2023 the rehab was easy compared to the knee I had done 15 years ago.
