The ONS Difference. Same Day Joint Replacement Surgery With A Concierge Experience.

If you are a candidate for outpatient joint replacement surgery, it is a safe and convenient alternative to a traditional overnight hospital stay. You can experience the same excellent joint replacement outcomes the community has come to expect from ONS while recovering in the comfort and safety of your home. With that in mind, ONS provides a suite of services to ensure your confidence, ease and convenience if you select a same-day joint replacement procedure.

What to Know About Outpatient Joint Replacement

• Joint replacements for hip, knee, and shoulder can be done in an outpatient setting. This can be either a hospital or a surgery center.
• While outpatient joint surgery has a high success rate, certain factors make patients better candidates than others (see below for our suggestions).

Benefits of Outpatient Joint Replacement

• Familiar recovery space – Patients have the ability to recover from their procedure within the comfort and privacy of their own homes. They can also control their own medications more easily.
• Less infection risk – the risk of exposure to a hospital-acquired infection is lower when patients go home.
• Cost savings – Outpatient joint replacement is typically less expensive and places less burden on the healthcare system because there is no hospital stay required.

Who is a Good Candidate for Outpatient Joint Replacement?

• Motivated – The patient has a positive attitude, wants to go home the same day, and will carefully follow the doctor’s post-operative instructions.
• Healthy – Patients who are active, independent, and healthy are the best candidates for same-day joint replacement.
• Supported – Patients who have a network of friends and family members to help in the early days post-procedure will have an easier recovery. A support person should be home with you for at least 72 hours after surgery.
• Mobile – Patients should be walking with minimal assistance prior to surgery, without requiring a device like a walker or cane.
