Should I continue to see my surgeon after I’ve healed?
It is important to follow up with your surgeon after your joint replacement. In most cases, joint replacements last for many years.
The frequency of required follow up visits is dependent on many factors including the age of the patient, the demand levels placed on the joint, and the type of replacement. We will consider all these factors and tailor a follow-up schedule to meet your needs.
In general, seeing your surgeon every three to five years is recommended.
