Why stay in the hospital when you can now recover for surgery in the comfort of your own home.
Modern advances in anesthesia, pain management and surgical techniques make this a safe and satisfying option for a majority of patients who undergo knee, hip and shoulder replacement. The Knee, Hip and Shoulder Center leads New England in same-day surgery joint replacement, having performed close to a thousand cases in the past few years. Put our experience to work for you.
The Knee, Hip and Shoulder is redefining how patients undergo joint replacement surgery, offering same-day discharge to home. We have more experience than any practice in Northern New England in outpatient joint replacement and we have developed the A.V.A.T.A.R® program to allow suitable patients this option. Outpatient surgery allows patients to recover in the comfort on their own home.
Advantages of outpatient surgery
- IMPROVED REST AND COMFORT AFTER SURGERY
- REDUCED COST TO THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM AND PATIENT
