Is there a best season for joint replacement?

• People tend to wonder what is the most suitable
  time of the year to get their joint replacement
  surgery done and believe that spring and early
  fall is the best season to get their surgery
  which in todays world is a MYTH.
• The advancement in the technology regarding the
  infrastructure of operating theatres and
  intensive care units (ICU), such as laminar flow
  ventilation, centralised temperature controllers
  and humidity stabilizers, has made it possible to
  carry out joint replacement surgery throughout
  the year.
• The modified concept of minimally invasive
  procedures, modified pain control, and sutureless
  surgery has decreased the frequency of follow-up
  visits and favours fast recovery during winter
  and summer.

Factors to consider for the timing of surgery

The severity of Arthritis

• Dont wait until you cant walk or take the pain
  any longer. Though joint replacement surgery is
  an elective surgery there is an ideal time for
  typical patients to get the most out of their
  surgery, and waiting too long will reduce their
  benefits from the surgery.

Availability of the doctor

• Joint replacement surgeries are usually scheduled
  in advance according to the availability of the
  surgeon and patient-specific implants

Taking days off from your job

• When deciding on the best time for surgery,
  taking days off from your job is one of the most
  critical factors. With decreased follow-up visits
  and the availability of home physiotherapy
  sessions, patients can plan their surgeries
  anytime in the calendar year.
