At the patient education sessions, the Orthopedic Clinic provides comprehensive information about the Rapid Recovery Program, which has been successfully used to treat knee and hip replacement patients since 2012. A key component of the Rapid Recovery Program is the active involvement of patients even before surgery. About ten days before surgery, patients attend the Patient School to be thoroughly prepared for the upcoming procedure. There, they learn which examinations will be performed, when and how they will be mobilized, and how they can actively contribute to their own recovery. This preventive approach not only promotes individual health literacy but also strengthens group dynamics among patients.
