About Shoulder Arthroplasty Pre-Operative Teaching

You will be brought in to our clinic for pre-operative teaching prior to your surgery. This appointment takes approximately 2 hours total. During your visit you will meet with the internal medicine doctor, Allied Health team and your case manager. At this appointment you will also be given an X-ray requisition to be completed prior to your surgery; these X-rays can be done at any X-ray clinic that is convenient for you.
