Official title

The Benefit of Formal Pre-operative Education to Patient Satisfaction, Pain and Function

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The investigators want to determine if delivering formal preoperative education to patients helps the patients with post operative pain, function and overall satisfaction. Education would cover surgery, post operative activities of daily living, pain and edema management, duration of recovery and any expected therapy they might need. All participants will receive a pre and post operative questionnaire to determine level of understanding of anticipated needs and barriers due to surgery. Group one will receive formal education from an occupational therapist or physical therapist while Group two will receive only standard education in the MD clinic.
