Orthopedic surgery

I was suprised to discover how cheap orthopedic surgery is outside the U.K. I would not usually consider having surgery abroad but with the help of this site I plan to research this option further.

Thinking about Orthopedic Surgery Abroad?

In the US and UK, orthopedic surgeries are expensive, and not all patients have sufficient insurance to cover their medical costs. However, orthopedic surgery abroad is quite affordable, and orthopedic and spinal surgeons overseas provide world-class medical care. Whether a patient seeks ankle fusion, hip surgery, laminectomy, or even dental bone grafting, patients will find no shortage of qualified and experienced doctors who perform orthopedic surgery abroad.

In Mexico, hallux valgus (bunion) surgery is only $1,500 or £1,000; hip resurfacing is only $11,500 or £8,000; spinal stenosis is only $5,500 or £3,000. These prices are more than seventy percent lower than prices in the US and UK. In Costa Rica, Argentina, and Colombia, the most popular bone restructuring surgeries cost only a third or a fourth of what they cost in the US and UK. Food and lodging are inexpensive in Latin America, so recovering from orthopedic surgery abroad is quite affordable, even if patients must stay for one or two weeks. While patients recuperate, they can see the sights and cultural attractions of Latin America, meet interesting people, and practice the language. Many orthopedic surgeons have studied medicine in the US and UK, and most medical professionals speak English.

Eastern Europe is a popular destination for orthopedic surgery abroad. Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Croatia offer procedures such as ankle fusion for roughly $6,000 or £4,000, and carpal tunnel surgery for roughly $2,000 or £1,400. Hospitals are pristine and equipped with modern medical technology.
