Common Orthopedics Procedures Abroad

People deciding for seeking good orthopedics abroad suffer from a range of orthopedic conditions. However, a few of them are especially common among medical tourists visiting foreign destinations such as Turkey, Germany, Poland, or Hungary:

  • Knee Replacement – Patients needing knee replacement surgery are one of the biggest groups of orthopedics patients visiting foreign destinations. For instance, knee replacement cost in Turkey is much lower than it is back home without losing anything from the quality of the medical procedure.
  • Arthroscopy – Arthroscopic knee surgery is a next-generation medical procedure, which does not require either a long recovery period or an opening the knee. Thanks to the arthroscope, a device equipped with a camera and surgical tools, doctors can access the operation site through a number of small cuts instead of one big cut. Thanks to this, the arthroscopic procedure is appreciated by many sportsmen who can’t wait to come back to the game. Arthroscopy in Turkey and other medical tourism destinations is performed in top-end orthopedics clinics, which guarantees splendid results for the more affordable price.
  • Hip Replacement– Hip replacement is a must for many people, especially elders. However, in many countries, the hip replacement surgery cost is too high for an average citizen. In the same time, the cost of hip replacement Turkey is much lower and that’s what attracts to this country thousands of orthopedics patients every year.
  • Shoulder Replacement– Under the name “shoulder replacement” we understand the replacement of shoulder joint. This orthopedics surgery is a very common one among especially elder people who suffer from arthritis. Still, shoulder replacement surgery cost is for many people outrageously high and for this reason, they search for a more affordable alternative abroad. Shoulder replacement in Turkey is a reasonable alternative, having well-educated orthopedics surgeons in high-class orthopedics clinics.
