Florida’s leading orthopedic outpatient surgery

Orthopedic outpatient surgery locations

The leading provider of outpatient total joint replacements

Outpatient joint replacement offers several distinct advantages over the inpatient setting. Patients receive the best surgical and most cost effective experience possible. Not all patients qualify for outpatient joint replacement. Factors like overall health, age, weight and insurance determine eligibility.

Benefits of outpatient orthopedic surgery

Outpatient orthopedic surgery centers offer patients the convenience of having procedures safely performed outside of a hospital setting so you can recover at home. They improve both quality and customer service while reducing costs at a time when most healthcare expenses are increasing.

• Convenience – Recovering at home is easier than at a hospital.
• Lower cost – There are no hospital-related charges, including room costs.
• Availability – Some insurance plans only cover certain procedures when they are outpatient.
• Reduced stress – Most outpatient surgery is less stressful than inpatient surgery.
• Less exposure – Patients are less exposed to infection at outpatient surgery centers.
• More predictable scheduling – Less complex and more routine, outpatient centers are better able to stay within a set schedule.
• Shorter wait time – Typically there is very little wait time to get your procedure scheduled.
• Targeted service – The physicians, nurses and facility specialize in orthopedic outpatient surgery.
• More privacy – Unlike at a hospital, patients don’t have to share their rooms.
• Advanced – Equipped with the newest high-tech medical equipment, FOI surgeons use the most advanced surgical tools available.

Surgery preparation

Not all patients are candidates for outpatient surgery. Your Florida Orthopaedic Institute surgeon will help determine this based on your physical status, weight, age, and other key factors. Orthopedic outpatient surgery patients experience the best outcomes when they are as prepared as possible, including taking in the appropriate nutrition and having transportation plans for their return home.
