Patient Education - Hip Replacement Surgery (Total & Partial)

Welcome to Wright's hip replacement patient education website.

We know that the prospect of surgery can be daunting, so we've created this site to help empower you, the patient, to make the best, most informed decisions possible. Thanks to revolutionary medical technology, there's new hope for patients just like you to end incapacitating hip pain and rediscover a healthy and active lifestyle.

Reva's corner:
Everyone wants to be a VIP (Very Important Patient). Through this educational website, it's Wright's intent to help patients learn as much as they possibly can, while giving them and their caregivers peace of mind.

With Wright, you have options. This site will help you explore those options as they relate to hip surgery by

  1. educating you about both total and partial hip replacement,
  2. demonstrating the benefits of using Wright's range of products, and
  3. assisting you in finding a surgeon who uses Wright's products.

Reva Stachniw Your personal guide will be nurse Reva Stachniw, an RN ONC, with 28 years of experience in orthopaedic procedures. The clinical coordinator at Midwest Orthopedic Service S.C. in Galesburg, IL, Reva helps educate prospective hip/knee replacement patients about what to expect before, during and after surgery. Reva's talent for patient education is complemented by a real empathy for each patient's individual experience.

Besides providing you technical information, Reva will also share her personal insights, tips and observations in the "Reva's Corner" sections found throughout this website for these insights.

Remember that only a surgeon can determine the appropriate treatment for your case. By learning more about the options available to you, you can become more than a bystander where your health is concerned - you can be an active and informed partner in the health care process.

Because this is an educational website, be sure to read "Why Wright?" sections.
