Patient Information Manuals: Knee Replacement Surgery | Hip Replacement Surgery
The purpose of these guides is to provide you with more information as to what to expect along the road to recovery, and what you can do to prevent any complications and maximize your outcomes. Although the healthcare team will assist you in your recovery, YOU AND YOUR FAMILY are the most important members of the team. We believe knowledge and preparation as to what to expect pre- and post-operatively will make your recovery easier.

STOP (Sports Trauma and Overuse Prevention) Sports Injuries
There is a growing epidemic of preventable youth sports injuries that are dismantling kids' athletic hopes and dreams at an early age. In response, the STOP Sports Injuries campaign was created by a coalition of organizations and corporations to help prevent athletic overuse and trauma injuries in kids. In addition, a Council of Champions has been established that includes business, sports and medical leaders to actively engage youth sports parents, coaches, athletes and healthcare providers in sports injury prevention.
