Dos & Don'ts! After having a joint replacement, you may expect to be able to return to the lifestyle you had before surgery, but this can take some time. It is important to stay committed to your recovery plan so that your recovery process can be as smooth as possible.

After joint replacement surgery, it is important to follow the instructions from your doctor and physical therapy team. They will have the best tips and tricks to follow while you are recovering from your surgery.

Have you ever seen a mucous cyst? They're small bumps filled with viscous, clear fluid. While these are not dangerous, they can cause: pain, pressure, nail grooves or deformities. If you have a bump that you'd like to get rid of it, make an appointment to discuss solutions with one of our hand surgeons including draining vs removal.

If joint pain is limiting your mobility or keeping you from the activities you enjoy, outpatient joint replacement may be an option for you. Performed by our specialty-trained joint replacement surgeons, this approach uses minimally invasive techniques in a surgery center setting—allowing many patients to go home the same day.

Outpatient joint replacement offers several key benefits:
• No overnight hospital stay
• Lower cost compared to hospital-based procedures
• Supports earlier mobility and quicker recovery
• Reduced infection risk
• The comfort of healing at home

Our team is dedicated to helping you get relief and return to an active lifestyle with safe, effective, and patient-centered care.

💪 Patient Comeback Story: Don 💪

For Don L., trust made all the difference.

Nearly five years ago, Dr. Scott Heithoff performed a left knee replacement that changed Don’s life, and he’s been walking strong ever since. Since then, Dr. Heithoff has helped him manage his right knee with annual injections, keeping surgery off the table and Don moving comfortably.

So when shoulder pain came along, Don didn’t hesitate to return to the orthopedic doctor he trusts most.

At Orthopedic Associates of Port Huron, we’re proud to care for patients through every step of their journey—keeping them active, strong, and doing what they love.

🎄✨ ’Twas 3 weeks before Christmas… and OA has a heartwarming story to share! ✨🎄

Every year, as the holidays get closer, our team uses the money raised from candy & snack sales to support a local charity. This year, we chose Council on Aging, a group that does so much good for seniors right here in our community. ❤️

Yesterday, Stacey reached out to see how we could help them prepare for the holiday season… and we learned that over 100 local seniors were in desperate need of basic household items — things like toilet paper, paper towels, Kleenex, dish soap, and laundry detergent.

So, thanks to your candy cravings all year long 😉🍫…
We were able to purchase EVERY item on their wishlist from Sam’s Club!

And a big shout-out to Nikki, who loaded up her Suburban this morning and delivered the haul!

While we were dropping everything off, one of the volunteers came running out cheering, “Kleenex!! Oh my gosh, Kleenex!! You have NO idea how badly we needed this — THANK YOU!”
Let’s just say… Nikki and Stacey exchanged a look and had to fight back tears. 💙

Moments like that remind us how much we all have to be grateful for — and how deeply small acts of kindness can impact others.

Because of YOUR support, OA was able to donate $922.89 worth of essential items to seniors in need this Christmas. 🎁💙

From all of us — THANK YOU, and Happy Holidays! 🎄

🦃🔪 Turkey Carving Time!

Before you dig into that delicious bird, keep these carving tips in mind so the only thing you’re serving up is smiles (and seconds 😉):

• Use a sharp knife—it’s actually safer than a dull one.
• Keep your cutting area dry and steady.
• Always carve away from yourself.
• Let the turkey rest before slicing.

Carve smart, stay safe, and enjoy every bite of your holiday feast!

And as always, if something goes awry, we’re here to help—just give us a call!
