Getting ready for a hip or knee replacement?

WOLPER JEWISH HOSPITAL

Joint replacement is major surgery. Consequently, it often involves rehabilitation following discharge from the surgical hospital. There has been some discussion regarding how patients should undergo their rehabilitation – at home or as an inpatient in a specialised rehabilitation hospital.

Wolper Jewish Hospital is a leader in rehabilitation and many of Sydney’s top orthopaedic surgeons recommend it for their patients.

Inpatient rehabilitation can offer several advantages.

As an inpatient in Wolper’s rehabilitation unit, patients will receive comprehensive 24-hour care and support from nursing and other clinical staff. Pain management, wound care and personal care are all taken care of, reducing the risk of complications and leaving the patient free to focus entirely on their recovery. If a complication does occur, care is on-hand immediately.

Wolper’s team of rehabilitation physicians, physiotherapists, nursing staff, occupational therapists and other allied health staff, including dietitians and pharmacists, take a collaborative approach, providing a personalised treatment plan for all patients.
