How CHRISTUS Helps You Recover Faster and Safer

At CHRISTUS Health, we believe joint replacement should be as seamless as possible—from your first consultation to your return to daily life. That’s why several of our locations have earned The Joint Commission’s Advanced Certification for Total Hip and Knee Replacement, and others are actively working toward it.

But what does this mean for you? It means your care is built around proven best practices, research-backed techniques, and a commitment to better outcomes.

How Our Certified Approach Benefits You

By choosing CHRISTUS for your hip or knee replacement, you benefit from:

  • A Faster Recovery at Home – Most of our patients go home the same day as surgery, following a structured program designed for safe, effective healing.
  • Less Pain, More Mobility – Our approach includes regional anesthesia and early movement to reduce discomfort and get you walking as soon as possible.
  • Personalized Pre-Surgery Education – We help you prepare your home and recovery plan so you feel confident before your procedure.
  • Seamless, Coordinated Care – Every member of your care team—from your surgeon to your physical therapist—follows a standardized approach to ensure consistency and safety.
  • The Latest Best Practices – Our process is based on clinical research and national orthopedic guidelines, ensuring you receive high-quality care at every step.

What to Expect in Your Joint Replacement Journey

  • Before Surgery: We help you prepare with a detailed recovery plan and education sessions to set you up for success.
  • Day of Surgery: A minimally invasive approach and proven pain management techniques help you heal faster.
  • Same-Day Mobility: Patients walk within hours of surgery, improving circulation and reducing complications.
