Facing a hip or knee replacement can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to.
Joint Success is your clear, step-by-step guide to preparing for joint replacement surgery, navigating the hospital experience with confidence, and recovering safely at home.

Written by Paul B. Jacob, DO, a board-certified and fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon, this complete patient roadmap explains what to expect before, during, and after surgery—including types of hip and knee replacements, how to prepare your home, what happens on surgery day, and how to lower your risk of complications like infection, blood clots, pneumonia, and recovery setbacks.

You’ll also learn how modern pain-control strategies work, how to manage swelling, and what the first weeks at home should look like so you can heal faster and avoid common mistakes that slow progress. With practical checklists, FAQs, and real-world tips for mobility, driving, and returning to daily life, Joint Success gives you the tools to take control of your recovery and move forward with confidence.

Your surgery is a journey—this book helps you succeed every step of the way.
