Additional Information

Because hospital and health care budgets are shrinking Media Partners has decided to make this information available online. Much of the information on our site is from the booklet Total Hip Replacement: A patient and family guide for surgery and recovery by Media Partners, Inc. We hope this helps with tight education budgets. The booklet is still in print and available for purchase from Media Partners.

Sex After Hip Replacement

Also available is Sex After Total Joint Replacement: A guide for you and your partner after total joint replacement. This 16 page, soft cover guide is illustrated. It is recommended by the Arthritis Foundation and featured in the Arthritis Today Magazine, RN Magazine, and Arthritis Management magazine. It was also featured on Sirius radio talk show for sexual activity after hip replacement. More than 120,000 copies have been purchased by hospitals, surgeons and physical therapists to give to their patients. Single copies are also available as an ebook.
If Things Go Wrong
Sometimes no matter how much you plan and prepare, things can go wrong. If you think you have been the victim of medical malpractice or a surgical mistake while having an operation, you can learn about your options through an attorney or medical negligence solicitors. If you want to ensure the financial stability of your family after you are gone, then a life insurance policy is what you will need.
