Our Total Joint Replacement Pre-op Class is taught by our Orthopedic Nurse Navigator, as well as a physical therapy team member. You will learn how to prepare for surgery, what to expect before, during, and after your procedure and receive answers to any questions you may have.

You’ll also learn about:
• Pre-op exercises
• Infection prevention
• Pain management
• Physical therapy

• Precautions and limitations following surgery

Before having a joint replacement at San Antonio Regional Hospital’s Joint Replacement Center, it is mandatory that both you and your "coach" attend the Total Joint Replacement class.  Plan to attend this class 2-4 weeks prior to your surgery. 

 




English classes are held the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month and Spanish classes are held the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month. All classes are from 9:45 am to 12:00 pm. Registration is required; please call Kathleen Webster, Orthopedic Nurse Navigator to register for the class once you have been scheduled for surgery by your orthopedic surgeon.

Please note: due to COVID-19, in-person classes are temporarily suspended.  See below for one of the virtual classes.
