If you are bringing X-ray films to your appointment, please make certain to bring all of the films you have. They all have value to your physician; older films are used for comparison. If you do not have up-to-date films, X-ray will be taken in our office.

Operative Records

The “operative report” from your last surgery on your hip or knee. This is a report dictated by the surgeon which tells what was done during the operation and importantly what implants or “parts” were put in or taken out during the surgery.

For revision surgery, your doctor needs this information to order replacement parts which will match up with the implant that you currently have in place. For conversion surgery (converting previous surgery, such as fixation of a hip fracture, to a total joint replacement), this information allows us to have the necessary tools available to remove the hardware in place.

Due to health care privacy laws, your written permission is necessary in order for you to obtain this information for us. The best places to obtain this information are either from:

• The hospital (Medical Records Department) where the surgery was performed (they should have both the operative report and the part stickers),

or

• The office of the surgeon who performed the surgery (they will usually just have the operative report).
