Common Questions Orthopedic Surgeons Hear from Joint Patients

Q:  How soon after surgery can I travel?

A:  You may travel as soon as you feel comfortable. You should check this with your surgeon at your follow-up appointment. It is recommended that you get up to stretch or walk at least once every hour when taking long trips. This is important to help prevent blood clots.
