Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need to put my surgery date into myHip&Knee?

The mobile app needs to know the date of your surgery so it can give you timed reminders. Based on your surgery date, myHip&Knee will send you pre-surgery reminders. After your surgery, myHip&Knee will begin checking in with you to track your recovery.

My surgery got cancelled and rescheduled. How do I re-start myHip&Knee?

To change the date of your surgery, log in to myHip&Knee on your device > Click on the blue text “Tap here to let us know if your procedure date has changed.” > Choose the surgery date. > Select confirm. This will refresh myHip&Knee based on the new surgery date.

If you experience any issues changing your surgery date, contact support@seamless.md for assistance.

Will my surgeon see my questionnaire or survey results?

No. myHip&Knee is not designed to communicate with your surgeon. Its purpose is to help you stay on track in your own recovery. Based on your answers, myHip&Knee will recommend if you need to contact your surgeon. If you have any concerns with your recovery (for examples: increased pain, the wound is not healing), please call your surgeon.

I downloaded myHip&Knee but I haven’t been getting daily reminders on my iPad. Why?

There could be a few reasons why the daily reminders are not being sent to you.

The daily reminders depend on your surgery date. If your surgery isn’t for awhile, myHip&Knee will not start reminding you just yet. It will begin reminding you to get ready for your surgery 18 days before the surgery date you entered into myHip&Knee when you first downloaded it.

Next, you must make sure “push notifications” are turned on for myHip&Knee so you can get daily reminders on your iPad or on any Apple or Android device. On most devices, you turn on Push Notification in “Settings”.

If your surgery is within 18 days, you have push notifications turned on and and myHip&Knee is still isn’t notifying you, contact technical support.

If I don’t get myHip&Knee, will it affect my preparation or recovery?

No. Your preparation and recovery will not be harmed if you do not have myHip&Knee. Your pre-operative care and post-operative care, your discussions with your care team and your Patient Guide give you all the information you need to get ready and recover from your joint replacement surgery. myHip&Knee is like a “buddy” to check in with you and is another way for you to keep track of your recovery.

My wound looks really red. What should I do?

If you are worried about your wound or your recovery, you should call your surgeon.

I want to stop using myHip&KNee. How do I turn it off?
