The information in this web site is based on a review of nearly 300 research articles as well as interviews with patients, surgeons, physiatrists and allied health professionals. A full report, Best Practices across the Continuum of Care for Joint Replacements, was completed by the GTA Rehab Network in March 2005.

The GTA Rehab Network, The Arthritis Society, and the Total Joint Network have partnered to make this site an integrated, relevant, and evidence-based resource for patients and families. The Arthritis Society, one of Canada's leaders in patient education, has taken the lead on the writing, technology and adult education aspects of this project. The Total Joint Network is a leader in joint replacement best practices. It has been instrumental in ensuring that the information reflects of the existing model of care.

The project was generously funded by a grant from The Change Foundation and the Government of Ontario to the GTA Rehab Network. The views expressed on the web site do not reflect those of The Change Foundation or the Government of Ontario.
