Understanding orthopaedics abroad

Orthopaedic care treats conditions of the bones, joints, ligaments and muscles — from joint replacement to arthroscopy and fracture care.

Common reasons patients seek this treatment

  • Knee replacement (total or partial)
  • Hip replacement or revision surgery
  • Arthroscopy for ligament or cartilage injuries
  • Shoulder surgery, including rotator cuff repair
  • Correction of deformities or complex fracture care

Factors affecting cost

Why estimates differ

TreatVero doesn't publish prices. Hospitals prepare estimates for your specific case, and these factors usually explain the differences:

  • The hospital and city you choose
  • Your surgeon's or consultant's fees
  • Room category during your hospital stay
  • Your medical condition, test results and any other health conditions
  • Length of hospital stay and time needed in the country
  • Implants, devices or medicines required
  • Implant brand and type
  • Single or bilateral (both sides) surgery
  • Length of the physiotherapy programme

Reports hospitals commonly ask for

  • Recent X-rays or MRI of the affected joint
  • Orthopaedic consultation notes
  • Blood tests
  • Current medications
  • Details of other health conditions

Questions to ask a doctor

Better questions, clearer decisions.

Bring these to your consultations. Your coordinator can help arrange follow-up calls with the treating team if anything is unclear.

  • Am I a suitable candidate for surgery, and are there alternatives?
  • Which implant do you recommend, and why?
  • What will rehabilitation involve, and how long before I can walk unaided?
  • When will it be safe for me to fly home?
  • What physiotherapy should I continue at home?

FAQ

Orthopaedics: common questions

Something else on your mind? A coordinator can answer on WhatsApp.

Ask on WhatsApp (opens WhatsApp in a new tab)
Should I stay near the hospital after discharge?

Usually, yes, for early physiotherapy and a follow-up visit. We can coordinate accessible accommodation close to your hospital.

Do I need a companion?

It's strongly recommended, especially in the first days after surgery when mobility is limited.
