Post-Op Care

To achieve the most successful surgical outcomes, careful attention to follow-up care is a critical part of the patient recovery process. Dr. Porter will provide detailed written instructions for each patient following surgery, but it is often helpful to review these instructions, provided below, prior to your visit so that you may ask questions if needed. It is important to fully understand and adhere to all post-surgery instructions—taking medications as prescribed, limiting activity as needed, performing physical therapy, caring for your wound, and gradually returning to a regular diet—to help ensure you have the most successful outcome.

Dr. Porter repaired the hip fracture that occurred after a fall outside my home in August 2019. I found him to be professional, courteous , thorough and most important, open to discussing ways to accommodate the chronic illness that I have. I would recommend him highly.
