Preparation for the patient entails clinical evaluation through imaging studies, blood chemistry, and cardiac evaluation if necessary. Patients are encouraged to come under optimal control with respect to their blood sugar, blood pressure, and weight for the time to undergo surgery. Physiotherapy exercises may also be conducted preoperatively with the goal of strengthening muscles for improved outcomes. On the same note, mental preparation is also vital for the patient.

The recovery process begins a day after the surgery with assisted physiotherapy. This helps prevent early complications like clots and stiffness. Pain can be controlled by taking several medications along with appropriate care. Assisting the patient to walk using support in a very short while and then proceeding to increase this activity will greatly help in the success of the process.
