Ask-a-Doc:
How Long Will I Be in the Hospital?

Hello, I’m Dr. Michael Morris. 

Most of our patients are now able to go home on the same day. More than 50% of our patients go home the same day. 

However, not everybody is a candidate for outpatient joint replacement. Those folks who are required to spend the night, either due to underlying medical comorbidities or insurance-based issues, typically will spend one night in the hospital and then go home the next day.

If you would like to know more about how long you will be in the hospital after your joint surgery, contact us at JIS Orthopedics. Our specialists in New Albany and St. Clairsville, Ohio, can give you the answers you are looking for. Schedule a visit with us today!
