Total Hip Replacement Pre-Surgery Checklist

Preparing for a hip replacement can feel overwhelming, and it is easy to worry you will forget something important. This free checklist does the remembering for you.

It follows your surgery timeline, from choosing the right hospital and surgeon to the morning of surgery, so you always know what to do next.

Inside:

• ✓ Questions to ask before you choose a hospital or surgeon
• ✓ Week-by-week steps, from 4 to 6 weeks out to the morning of surgery
• ✓ A hospital bag checklist
• ✓ A “My Surgery Details” page for your key contacts and dates

Made for our realities: it covers blood donors, implants, and considers the way hospitals really work in Nigeria and other African countries.

Who it’s for: patients preparing for total hip replacement, and the family members and caregivers helping them.

I’m Abiola, a registered nurse, and I’ve had two hip replacements myself.

I made this because surgery feels lighter when someone has already thought of the details for you.

General guidance only. It does not replace your surgeon’s advice.
