The purpose behind most orthopedic surgical procedures is to increase and enhance mobility of a joint as well as to repair damaged bone, muscular, or neural tissues caused by sports injuries, arthritis, fractures, and muscle and bone diseases. Common orthopedic procedures include partial or total hip or placement surgery, as well as hip resurfacing surgery, partial or total knee replacement procedures and those that focus on hands, elbow, or shoulder joints.

 

Orthopedics treatments and surgeries help to treat chronic diseases such as various forms of arthritis in the hands, knees and back. For example, rheumatoid arthritis severely inhibits mobility in the fingers and hands. Treatments and surgeries designed to relieve pain and increase mobility require a team effort from specialists in orthopedic surgery as well as specialists who focus on the musculature damage such arthritis causes.

 

Facilities around the globe offer a variety of orthopedic surgeries that provide excellent, experienced, accredited and state-of-the-art technology, treatments and procedures. Some of the best are located in Croatia, such as Terme Selce,  and Turkey, at the Acibadem Healthcare Group and at the Florence Nightingale Hospital in Istanbul. The Madras Joint Replacement Center in Chennai, India and the Jordan Hospital in Amman, Jordan all provide accredited orthopedic surgeons and surgical care for international travelers seeking affordable and effective treatments of bone and joint injuries caused by sports, accidents or disease conditions.

 

Individuals from abroad seek health and wellness choices that meet their needs with today’s availability and popularity of medical tourism and travel, offering real choices for effective, quality and affordable orthopedic surgical care.

Do you play sports? Work hard? Is your job physically demanding? If so, chances are you’ve injured yourself at some point in your life. Orthopedic injury and the need for orthopedic care, as well as numerous facilities and experts to take care of bone fracture rehabilitation, sports injuries or any type of traumatic injury caused by sports is the job of a sports medicine specialist.

 

Sports medicine is a special field of care within the health industry that focuses mainly on injury or prevention of sports injury to those involved in sports, fitness fields and various forms of recreation. The field may be practices by a Medical Doctor (M.D.) or a Doctor of Osteopathy (D.O.) to provide a wide range of services.

 

A medical doctor, doctor of osteopathy or even a surgeon may specialize in one or more fields of sports medicine practice, including:

 

• Sports Medicine Diagnosis and Treatment
• Sports Medicine Injury Prevention
• Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation
• Kinesiology
• Massage

 

Depending on the location, type and severity of an injury and the diagnosis and treatment of it, physical therapy and rehabilitative services can cost tens of thousands of dollars for individuals. In some cases, a health insurance policy may cover some costs, but not all. In the United States, limitations and exclusions on policy coverage may severely inhibit full recovery. Medical travelers venturing to locations in Mexico and South America, Asia or locations in Europe such as Terme Selce in Croatia or the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz facility in Switzerland may save thousands of dollars on the cost of physical therapy, rehabilitation, sports massage and additional treatments in the field as per recommendations by a physician.

Surgical orthopedics and orthopedic surgery treatments help treat chronic diseases such as various forms of arthritis in the hands, knees and back. Depending on the type of procedure needed, surgery may take one or more hours, most often being performed under general anesthesia.

 

In many cases, recovery from most types of orthopedics surgery is quick with very little discomfort. Depending on the type of surgery, recovery time varies from two weeks to four months.  Physical and Occupational therapy usually follows any type of orthopedic surgical procedure, which will help restore muscle strength, coordination, and mobility.

Those engaged in sports or heavy lifting often injure shoulders, and require the need for rotator cuff surgery, knee replacement or hip replacement surgeries, and a multitude of other orthopedic treatments and surgeries. Whether you need hip orthopedics or hip joint resurfacing, knee surgery or arthroscopic knee surgery, medical tourism destinations offer world class care and treatment for a fraction of the cost you’ll pay for such surgeries in the U.S.

 

Generally, there are two different yet common types of orthopedic surgery performed for a multitude of issues and injury repairs. Open surgery- Often times this procedure has better results than with Arthroscopy. Surgeons can perform this surgery with small incisions, and healing time is dependent on what type of surgery is performed. Arthroscopy- this procedure can be done by a surgeon using thin tubes that have lighting and lens being inserted into an incision to look at the shoulder joints on a TV monitor. To make repairs, instruments are also inserted through the small tubes and seen by the monitor to do the procedure.  

 

Arthroscopy surgery may treat such conditions as:

• Rotator Cuff Tears
• Biceps Tendonitis
• Shoulder Labral tears
• Impingement Syndrome
• Frozen Shoulder
• AC (acromioclavicular) Joint Arthritis

 

Knee surgery abroad offers patients high-tech and excellent care such as that found in the Tour2india4health Consultants  in Mumbai, India, or the CTG Healthcare Group in Izmir, Turkey or the Terme Selce Health and Sport center in Selce, Croatia.

 

Don’t limit your options, or what you pay for orthopedic surgeries, treatments or procedures. Know your choices and then choose the best.

Whether you need hip joint resurfacing or hip replacement surgery, or some kind of shoulder surgery, knee joint surgery or arthroscopic surgery, there are options for Americans seeking less expensive medical care outside U.S. borders.

Many consumers make the mistake of believing cheaper costs reflect on the experience, training and lack of certification among foreign providers, but this is not the case. Orthopedic care and orthopedic specialists abroad are highly trained, skilled and experienced providers in their fields of study. Many physicians and surgeons abroad are trained in the United States and Britain, and belong to internationally accredited organizations that guarantee their certification and training.

Because of the growing popularity of medical tourism, physicians, surgeons and health care facilities abroad are seeking international accreditation with reputable associations and organizations such as JCI (Joint Commissions International).

Lower costs are available for hip replacement surgery, hip joint resurfacing, and shoulder, hand or knee surgery abroad because international malpractice insurance costs are not nearly as enormous as demand requires in the U.S. Instead of being forced to pay upward of $200,000.00 a year for medical malpractice insurance, foreign physicians and surgeons pass the savings on to their patients.

When it comes to orthopedic surgeries and procedures, many options are possible, for multiple issues caused by arthritis, bone fracture, trauma, spinal injuries and more. Places like Costa Rica, India, facilities like the Vejthani Clinic in Bangkok, Thailand, Mexico, Turkey, South Africa or Norway and Jordan offer medical travelers the best in care while saving a hefty chunk of money at the same time.

Knee surgeries are orthopedic services performed to repair pain in the knee problems caused by injuries, running, tendonitis or arthritis. Common knee surgery procedures include:

• Knee Replacement Surgery (Arthroplasty) aka Arthroscopic Knee Surgery
• Knee Ligament Repair
• Knee Abrasion Arthroplasty
• Runner’s Knee (Patellofemoral Stress Syndrome)

In the United States, knee joint surgery costs about $30,000. Medical tourists pay around $12,000 in India. Knee ligament repair costs around $17,000 per knee in the U.S., and knee abrasion arthroplasty costs twice that. Even with insurance, costs are astronomical.

Hip replacement surgery often involves bone scans and MRIs, x-rays and ultrasound to determine damage to bones in hip joints. Hip replacement surgical procedures cost up to $43,000 in the United States. In Singapore and Thailand, medical patients may benefit from orthopedic hip replacement surgical procedures that cost about $12,000. In India, costs average about $9,000-$10,000.

Hip joint resurfacing replaces the surface of the hip joint, but removes less bone tissue than traditional hip replacement procedures. Hip resurfacing procedures in the U.S. average $55,000 per hip! The same hip resurfacing procedure in India costs around $8,500. Medical tourists traveling to Thailand, Singapore, and South America for the same treatments may anticipate spending 1/6^th the amount charged in the U.S. for such procedures.

Options for orthopedic surgeons, orthopedic specialists and orthopedic care are becoming more available in popular travel destinations around the world. Finally, we have a choice as to how much we’re willing to pay for excellent and experienced medical care.
