Orthopedic surgeries are designed to provide and promote the health and healing of bone and joint needs associated with a wide variety of orthopedic conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, knee and hip problems, arthritis, and sports injuries such as maybe e.g.,) tennis elbow or rotator cuff surgery.  The scope of orthopedic specialties enables treatment of joint injuries as well as those caused by ligament, tendon, or nerve damage.

•      Shoulder Surgery

•      Elbow Surgery

•      Hand Surgery

•      Total Knee Replacement

 

Orthopedic 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. Orthopedic treatment may help or repair damage caused to hip joints caused by traumatic injuries, fractures or osteoarthritis conditions. Such treatments may require surgical procedures to replace broken joints with partial or total artificial joints, as well as the use of pins or braces to hold bone sections together.

Facilities around the world, such as Wooridul Spine Hospital in South Korea and the CTG Healthcare Group in Izmir, Turkey are dedicated to providing the best orthopedic care at prices most Americans can afford.

 When looking for medical providers abroad, some of the first questions an individual may want answered include:

 

·         Convenience - where is the facility located?  How will I get there?

·         Customized services - will the facility be able to meet my specific needs?

·         Acknowledging risks - what are the risks involved not only traveling to this destination, but of my specific surgical procedure or treatment? Is staff at this facility open and honest about all potential risks of such procedures or treatments?

·         Providing unique solutions - will the facility be able to cater their services to meet my specific needs? Are they open to the prospect of working with me to solve my particular problem or issue?

·         Quality of service - is this facility accredited and approved not only according to their country’s accreditation levels, but also by international accreditation facilities such as JCI (Joint Commission International)?

 

PlacidWay offers an informative article Choosing an International Medical Provider on what to look for when choosing international medical providers in more detail. Whether you’re looking for cosmetic/plastic surgery, obesity or weight loss surgery treatments and procedures, or you need orthopedic surgery for your hip, affordable health care is out there.

 

For example, relatively minor cardiac surgical procedures that range in the placement of stents to coronary bypass or grafts may cost anywhere from $30,000 to $250,000 as compared to about $5,000 to $20,000 or less for the same procedures in India. Orthopedic treatments such as a partial hip replacement procedure performed in Thailand or Singapore may cost half of what is charged in the United States. The same applies for other procedures such as knee replacement. Cosmetic surgical costs in the United States run thousands of dollars per procedure, compared to less than a thousand in India.

Orthopedic surgery, like many other surgical procedures, can be a costly endeavor. Ranging from $3,000 to $13,000 in US dollars, if not more, surgical procedures in the United States have become a huge burden on citizens, as well as driving health and medical insurance costs through the roof.

 

Orthopedic surgeries may include but are not limited to:

 

·        Total Joint Replacement of Hip or Knee

·        Anterior Hip Replacement Surgery

·        Anterior Cruciate Ligament

·        Hip Abrasion Arthroplasty

·        Knee Abrasion Arthroplasty

·        Hip Resurfacing

·        Arthroplasty

·        Arthroscopic Surgery

·        Hand Surgery

·        Avascular Necrosis

·        Arthritis

 

Of course, there are many more types of procedures and surgeries that are performed in the orthopedic field. Depending on the type of orthopedic surgery that your condition calls for, treatments, procedures, as well as healing times will vary.

 

However, many people, though they have heard of medical tourism, don’t realize that the field of orthopedics has a lot to offer travelers in wonderful and exotic destinations around the world.

 

For example, did you know that Terme Selce in Selce, Croatia provides rehabilitation of sport injuries or the Acibadem Healthcare Group in Istanbul, Turkey provides JCI accredited facilities and care for orthopedic surgery abroad, as do some of the best orthopedic surgeons in India? The best sports injuries programs in Croatia are world-class, as is orthopedic surgery in Mexico.

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.
