Doing your own pre-op research and preparation is very important to ensure the best possible outcome for your shoulder replacement. It is important to familiarize yourself with the surgical procedure and recovery process. Our surgeons and staff strongly recommend that patients (and their coach) watch our shoulder replacement video and complete the online quiz (below).

PRE-OP VIDEO: Review infection prevention guidelines; night before surgery tips on showering, eating, and medications; and what to do on the day of your surgery. ALL ABOUT JOINT REPLACEMENT: This 10-minute video goes over everything you can expect before, during and after your joint replacement procedure at Inova.

Once you have seen the video, please complete the required brief quiz below. When finished, click "Submit." Your results will be sent directly to the Shoulder Replacement Navigator. If you have questions, contact us at 703-504-4550. You must have JavaScript enabled to use this form.
