At BHS, Joint Replacement TotalCare is a complete program designed by your surgeon and care team to guide you step-by-step through your preparation, hospital stay and recovery from hip and knee joint replacement surgery. Everything you need to know, do, and keep track of is conveniently provided to you at just the right time. When you are scheduled for surgery at BHS, the care team at your doctor's office will ask you to provide your email address and enroll you in the Joint Replacement TotalCare program.
Joint replacement is a significant procedure and may feel overwhelming. Be sure to ask your orthopedic surgeon any questions you may have. The goal of our program at Butler Health System is to ensure that you feel as comfortable and confident facing your procedure as possible.

"I don't know how much you could improve such a great program, it totally prepares you for the good, bad and ugly. Thank you so much for a great program." – Patricia F., Joint Replacement TotalCare Patient
The Joint Replacement TotalCare program includes three components:
1. Total Joint Camp
The first step of the Joint Replacement TotalCare program is Total Joint
Camp. About four weeks before your surgery, you'll attend a preoperative
program to better prepare you and your support person for what to expect
before, during, and after surgery.
Total Joint Camp includes:
2. Online Program
Joint Replacement TotalCare also provides a unique online platform for
patients to access. The Joint Replacement TotalCare online program provides
a step-by-step approach to your preparations and recovery from surgery.
Features of the online program include:
"I especially loved the online tool program. It really answered a lot of questions I had, and made me aware of important things. Everything seemed to run smooth and prepared me for what was to happen. I will definitely be back when my right knee needs done.” – Marilyn P., Joint Replacement TotalCare Patient
3. Partnership with Your Family and Caregivers
We support working with your caregivers and family as part of the Joint
Replacement TotalCare program. You can choose a family member or friend
who can act as a personal support person or and "coach” as
you go through the joint replacement process. We'll involve them every
step of the way. Your support person is encouraged to attend Total Joint
Camp with you, and once you add them to your Care Circle in the online
program, they will receive emails with valuable information to assist
you with your journey.
