Choosing the right hospital is critical for a successful outcome. The ideal facility will have a strong and comprehensive orthopedic department capable of handling complex cases. Just as important is having specialized neurology support on staff to help manage the unique neuromuscular aspects of Post-Polio Syndrome before, during, and after the procedure. Finally, the hospital must offer excellent, integrated post-operative rehabilitation services, preferably with an in-patient unit that has experience guiding polio survivors through the early stages of recovery while managing pain and fatigue. This trio of specialties working together significantly improves safety and long-term results.
