Orton Joint Replacement Hospital specializes in knee and hip replacement surgeries. We treat joint replacement patients from HUS.
Joint Replacement Surgery at Orton
In joint replacement surgery, worn or damaged joint surfaces are removed and replaced with an artificial joint. The surgery improves the patient’s functional ability and relieves pain. Joint replacement surgery is most often performed when osteoarthritis has progressed significantly and other treatment options no longer provide sufficient relief.
Treatment process
Care for joint replacement patients at Orton includes comprehensive support throughout the entire care pathway.
Before the surgery, you will receive clear instructions on how to prepare. After the surgery, you will receive comprehensive home-care instructions and support for pain management, so that daily life runs smoothly and rehabilitation proceeds as planned.
We recommend familiarising yourself with the HUS joint replacement patient care pathway, where you can find information about the various stages of examinations and treatment at HUS. The instructions apply particularly to joint replacement surgeries performed at Peijas, but they can also be adapted to procedures at Orton.
