Hip resurfacing abroad

Hip resurfacing or surface replacement arthroplasty is a much more effective joint replacement surgery than hip replacement.

In hip resurfacing, only the diseased part of the femur is removed and normal bone is preserved.This is unlike Total Hip Replacement in which the complete femoral head and neck are removed. Thus, hip resurfacing takes away very little and gives back the individual his/her active life.

India, Mexico, and Costa Rica are popular destinations for hip resurfacing, because of the huge cost savings, when compared to US costs.

But cost is not the only advantage of hip resurfacing overseas. The orthopedic surgeons in India, Mexico, and Costa Rica are well qualified and have a lot of experience. They speak excellent English, making communication with the patient a smooth process.

The private tourist hospitals follow strict standards of hygiene and cleanliness. The international hospitals are JCI-accredited or have a working collaboration with leading US or UK medical institutions.

Other cheap orthopedic procedures Medical Tourism Corporation offers abroad are knee replacement, shoulder replacement, and rotator cuff surgery.
