Here at Trinitas, we strive for a one-day stay with excellent results. After the surgery, we aim to have both total hip and total knee replacement patients up and walking immediately with most starting the afternoon of their surgery. Physical and occupational therapists provide assistance with the skills and encouragement necessary to achieve early movement and increasing walking ability and the patient's ability to take care of themselves.
