Joint Replacement Patient Education

Pre-Procedural orientation available online and in person

All joint replacement surgery patients are asked to participate in a special pre-procedural orientation. The orientation is available online below. We encourage you and your coach to watch the video presentation together.

After you watch the video, please click here to take a brief quiz.

If you would like to attend an orientation class in person, either instead of or in addition to viewing the video, you may schedule a date and time with the Pre-Procedural Patient Liaison by calling 703-776-2000 (after the language option, press 1 to schedule your class). Classes are offered at the Inova Professional Services Building located on Inova Fairfax Medical Campus.

If you are not able to attend a class you are registered for, please call the joint replacement nurse navigator at 703-776-2289.
