Welcome to the Nova Scotia Orthopaedic Surgery Patient Information Site
The My Surgery website is for people in Nova Scotia who are having hip or
knee replacement surgery. This website helps you to prepare for your surgery, your stay in the hospital, and your recovery at home. Click on a topic below
or on the right to get started.
This website is a collaboration of the Nova Scotia Department of Health and the Nova Scotia District Health Authorities.
Production of this website has been made possible through a financial contribution from Health Canada. This website is
intended to provide you with helpful information about your health condition, surgery and recovery, but should not take
the place of directions or advice provided by your doctor, surgeon or other health professionals.
