Using a nationally recognized patient management program, the
Institute provides guidelines for orthopedic patients to follow
both pre-operatively and post-operatively. Orthopedists involved
with the program follow established protocols that are proven to
lead to improved clinical outcomes. Education is an essential component
of the program, which is designed to lessen anxiety before surgery
and enable easier rehabilitation following surgery.
The Orthopedic Spine & Joint Institute at Clara Maass is housed
on a dedicated nursing unit within Clara Maass. A rehabilitation
gym located on the unit begins patients on the road to recovery
quickly following surgery. Patients wear their own clothing instead
of hospital gowns and amenities such the services of a hairdresser
are a standard part of the program.
