Joint Replacement at San Jacinto Methodist Hospital  Photo L to R: Kevin Horn, MD, 281-837-8550; James Pyle, MD, 281-427-7400; and Mark Franklin, MD, 281-427-7400. Total Joint Replacement patients should recover quickly. The hospital stay is typically 2 to 3 days. New surgical techniques and improved analgesic methods make blood transfusions far less common, and have allowed us to quicken the recovery process. In fact, most patients will be expected to walk on the day of surgery. This Rapid Recovery Process, as it has come to be known, affords the return to most normal activities in six to eight weeks. This includes driving, walking distances and daily living activities. The rapidity of return to activity is highly dependent upon the patient's pre-operative physical conditioning. The Joint Replacement Program at San Jacinto Methodist Hospital provides a comprehensive and planned course of treatment for your benefit. We find that patients who take an active role in their recovery experience the most positive results. Our intention is to involve our patients in their treatment through each step of the program. In addition, we believe that it takes a team of dedicated professionals to assist you through this significant surgical event. Many highly experienced members of our team will assist patients throughout the treatment. Our team includes physicians, physician assistants, nurses, care managers, patient care technicians, physical therapists and office coordinators specializing in total joint care. Virtually every detail, from pre-operative teaching to post-operative exercising, is considered and reviewed with our patients. We value the trust that patients have placed in our organization and consider it a privilege to provide them with the opportunity to improve their quality of life through joint replacement surgery. Please rest assured that the surgeon and the team of professionals providing the care want our patients to be confident with their decision for treatment and will be working together to ensure a pleasant experience in the hospital.
