Same Day Hip Replacement in New York City
Same Day Hip Replacement in New York City

Same Day Hip Replacement in New York City

Planning for a same-day discharge hip replacement is no different than a regular hip replacement, except there’s a little more preparation that goes into making it happen beforehand. Everything that we would normally teach you in the hospital, we will teach you in the weeks before surgery.

It’s important to have a lot of family support, or somebody who can help you through this operation. We ask you to elect somebody as your “coach.”

Your coach will go with you to the joint replacement class where you learn how to do your physical therapy exercises. YES, you will actually start learning your physical therapy exercises prior to surgery, as well as learning how to use a walker and cane. That will allow you to be ready for your surgery date and the quickest possible recovery.

Two weeks before surgery, you’ll meet the anesthesiologists to make sure that everything is safe for surgery, to rule out any medical and anesthesia complications.

Also, prior to your surgery, you’ll be able to pick up your prescribed medications to prepare for the procedure. At most pharmacies, you can pick them up a day or two beforehand.

With all of this preparation, the time in the hospital is minimized and you will be able to recover in the comfort of your own home beginning on the day of surgery!

Tips for Dealing With a Hip Replacement in New York City

If you live in a walk up building, we recommend that you try and arrange to stay with a friend or family that has an easily accessible home. However, we understand that sometimes, in New York City, there’s nothing you can do to avoid the stairs.

In these cases, we know you’re going to have to take the stairs following your surgery, but we won’t let you tackle that obstacle yourself. For example, we will work with you to learn a “one leg at a time” technique in the hospital before you even go home.

One of the benefits with same-day discharge is that patients will have attended a joint replacement class beforehand, which is where professionals will teach you how to do stairs and things before you even have surgery.

In terms of getting to and from the hospital, you’re going to want to take a car service, or we can arrange transportation for you to get home afterwards. Typically, using public transportation in New York City will be difficult for maybe two to three weeks after surgery.

However, we now have telemedicine visits to replace your initial in-person office visits after surgery to help you avoid the hassle of transportation to and from the city.

Telemedicine for Hip Replacement Recovery

Two weeks after surgery, we use something similar to Skype or FaceTime to replace your initial visits. This way, we won’t need to see you back in the office until six weeks later, when it will be more comfortable for you to get around on public transport or by driving your own car.

NYU has an app called MyChart and, through that, you can log on to your account, press a couple buttons, and start the telemedicine visit from your home! You can use any laptop or desktop with a camera installed.

We also use an app called Force, which is an an online platform where you log in almost every day through the healing process. It gives exercises to do and shows you videos with instructions. Perhaps most importantly, through this app, you can also contact my office manager, my nurse practitioner, and myself through a text messaging feature! Using Force, we can respond to your messages very quickly instead of you having to call the office, leave a message, wait for somebody to call back, and play phone tag.

In the past, we would send a physical therapist and a nurse to visit your home, just about every other day. With the Force app, most people, especially same-day discharge candidates who are very active as it is, and are healthy patients, may not need a physical therapist visiting their house by electing to do self-directed exercises.

Same-day discharge patients have been very happy not having a nurse or a physical therapist come out to their house. As long as you are dedicated to doing their exercises, they may enjoy a quick recovery.

Driving After Hip Replacment

If you have a right hip replacement, there will be a span of about a month before you can drive. If it’s a left hip replacement, you should be wary of driving while you’re on narcotic medication. However, once you are off the medication, you may carefully resume activities like driving - as long as you don’t have a stick shift!

Sleeping After Hip Replacement

It will probably be uncomfortable to sleep on the side of your hip replacement for a few days, maybe up to a week after. But after that, you should be able to sleep on your side or on your back. One method that we recommend to increase your comfort while sleeping throughout the healing process is by putting a pillow in between your legs when you’re sleeping on your side.

Make an appointment with Dr. Vigdorchik today if you’re experiencing hip pain.

  • I TESTED POSITIVE FOR HSV-2 A FEW MONTHS AGO. At first, Yes, I was devastated thinking I have an incurable STD for life. After doing hours of research I quickly realized genital herpes is a filthy parasite that just likes to hide in your body. Yes, There’s no “medical cure” but that doesn’t mean your body can’t get rid of it. I literally flush it out of my system with the help of Doctor Azuka, A natural herbal medicine which I ordered after doing some research. And now I’m HSV-2 negative, I never believed it until my doctor finally gave me the test results and behold I was HSV-2 free. I’m so glad that I found you, Doctor Azuka. Thanks so much for your goodness I’m grateful. You can also get your help from him through his Email } dr.azukasolutionhome@gmail.com WhatsApp } +2349166175418

  • I never use to believe in spell casting until i met Lord Zuma a powerful spell caster who helped me to be a happy person again. i reside in USA. After 4 years of Broken marriage, my husband left me with two kids. I felt like my life was about to end and i almost committed suicide, i was emotionally down for a very long time. Thanks to a Great spell caster called Lord Zuma which i met online on one faithful day when I was browsing through the internet, i came across a lot of testimonies about this particular Great spell caster how he has helped so many people. he has helped people to bring back their Ex lover, some testified that he restores womb, cure cancer and other sickness, and so on. I also came across a testimony, it was about a woman called Sandra, she testified about how his spell made her to be pregnant after so many years of bareness and at the end of her testimony she dropped Lord Zuma's email address. After reading all these, i decided to give it a try and i contacted him and explained my problem to him and he assured me that in less than 48 hours, my husband will call me and beg for forgiveness but i thought it will not work. When he had finished casting the spell, the next day my husband called me and he was begging for forgiveness just as Lord Zuma said. This is not brain washing and after the spell has been cast, i realized that my husband love me like never before and the spell caster opened him up to know how much i love him and how much love we need to share. We are even happier now than before. Lord Zuma is really a gifted man and i will not stop publishing him because he is a wonderful man.
