Outpatient Surgery Options
Patients now have the option (if recommended by Dr. Goradia) for same-day shoulder replacement. The entire shoulder replacement process at the hospital or surgery center and patients can be safely discharged home the same day as surgery, without being admitted to a hospital.
How Outpatient Shoulder Replacement is Possible
- Each patient is evaluated prior to surgery to determine if they are a candidate. We use the Outpatient Arthroplasty (i.e. replacement) Assessment Score also known as the OARA Score for this evaluation.
- Patients receive 1 or more physical therapy visits prior to surgery so they are aware of the exercises that will be important after surgery.
- Multimodal pain management – patients are given various treatments to alleviate pain.
- Each patient receives regular communication and instructions from Dr. Goradia using the MotionIQ system.
The OARA Score
- This assessment was developed by Dr. Meneghini from Indiana to identify patients that would have lower risk factors for outpatient joint replacement.
- A series of questions are asked regarding the patients’ health
- A score is calculated to determine if patient is a low, medium or high risk
- The results are reviewed with the patient
Second Opinions
Many of our patients consult Dr. Goradia for a second opinion about rotator cuff tears, especially when they have been told their tear can’t be repaired at all, or that it can’t be done arthroscopically. In almost all cases Dr. Goradia can repair the tear and with arthroscopic surgery.
We treat every patient the same way we would treat a professional athlete
