Common Questions Orthopedic Surgeons Hear from Joint Patients

Q:  How long will my out-of-town caregiver need to stay?

A:  While we will send you home when you can care for yourself, having a caregiver at home is sometimes a good idea. If no one local is available to drive you or do errands for you, how long your caregiver stays will depend mostly on your need to be driven, since you will not be able to drive for several weeks after your surgery.
