The Fox Joint
Recovery Protocol
Evidence-based. Patient-centered.
Designed to help you heal better and get back to the life you love.
We use a multimodal approach to pain control, early mobility, and rehabilitation to improve your comfort, reduce opioid use, and support a faster, safer recovery.
An evidence-based pathway to recovery
Five key stages. One goal: your best outcome.
Prepare
Before Surgery
We start before surgery with a personalized plan to help optimize your body and mind for healing.
This may include:
- Evidence-based medication strategy
- Nutrition and hydration guidance
- Education and expectation setting
Control Pain
During Surgery
Advanced anesthesia techniques and targeted nerve blocks help control pain during and after surgery.
Our approach focuses on:
- Targeted nerve blocks when appropriate
- Spinal anesthesia when indicated
- Minimizing stress and inflammation
Extend Relief
During & After Surgery
A patient-controlled adductor canal pump delivers local anesthetic where you need it most, when you need it.
- ON-Q® patient-controlled adductor canal pump
- You control the relief
- Less reliance on opioid medication
Support Healing
After Surgery
We continue your personalized multimodal plan to manage pain, reduce inflammation, and protect against complications.
This may include:
- Non-opioid pain relievers
- Anti-inflammatory medication (if indicated)
- Muscle relaxer
- DVT prevention (if indicated)
- Opioid medication only as needed
