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.

Summer’s almost over and while many of us had a great time exploring the great outdoors, a few of us may be experiencing the aches and pains of a few sprains, broken bones and injuries caused by sporting accidents while we hiked, swam, fished, motocrossed and RV’d our way around the country.

Orthopedic surgery involves many different techniques and methods for the treatment of bone or joint injuries, as well as to perform surgery on bones, joints, and muscles. Orthopedic surgeons are trained in a variety of surgical techniques that may cover hands, hips, knees, shoulders, and other muscular and skeletal areas around the body.

For example, someone who breaks an arm or leg playing sports or from a fall will typically require a cast. However, for severe breaks, follow up surgery and exercise therapy may be necessary. Someone experiencing back or joint pain caused by arthritis or osteoporosis may require surgery to remove damaged bone tissue or to replace damaged ball joints with alternative materials such as metal or plastic substitutes. Older people are especially susceptible to hip injuries or conditions caused by age and bone deterioration. In such cases, partial or total hip replacement surgeries are an option that will help to prolong mobility and an active lifestyle.

Orthopedic surgery abroad offers affordable orthopedic treatments and procedures in Mexico, Croatia, South Africa, South America and Asia. For example, Terme Selce in Croatia, offers medical spa treatments to rehabilitate and rejuvenate, while CTG Healthcare Group in Izmir, Turkey, offer the best in orthopedic knee surgery, as does the Global Medical Group in Christ Church, Barbados. Don’t let cost hamper your health.

 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.

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.

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.
