Your joints have taken you far. Now, it’s time to go farther. At the MemorialCare Orthopedic & Spine Institute at MemorialCare Saddleback Medical Center, we offer a complete spectrum of care to support your long-lasting results.

We encourage same-day movement so future adventures are as close as your next step. Here’s to feeling like yourself again.
Program Features:
- Patient navigator: Our specially trained joint replacement coordinator/navigator will guide you each step of the way, acting as your personal “navigator” to steer the way before and after surgery.
- Family-centered care: You select a “coach,” usually a family member or friend, to attend joint replacement educational sessions, therapy and encourage your progress after discharge.
- Guidebooks: Before joint replacement surgery, you will receive a comprehensive guidebook to help you gain a better understanding of your care and joint replacement recovery.
- Pre-surgery class: Learn what to expect before, during and after joint replacement surgery.
- Motivate movement: Most patients are walking on the same day of surgery.
- Personalized, daily physical therapy: Receive one-on-one physical and occupational therapy.
- Promote wellness: For added comfort post-surgery, we encourage you to wear active clothes versus a hospital gown.
