What we arrange

We coordinate the imaging review, the surgeon consultation, the implant discussion and the rehabilitation plan, with an interpreter at every step.

What affects the cost

The main variables are which joint or spinal level is operated on, the implant chosen, and how many rehabilitation days you need. The hospital bills for the prosthesis and the operation directly.

How it works

Send your X-rays, MRI and current symptoms for a surgical review

Travel for the examination and a face-to-face plan, including implant options and prices

Surgery, inpatient rehabilitation and a translated home exercise programme

Common questions

Many patients stand and take a few steps within 24–48 hours with physiotherapy support. Your surgeon sets the pace according to your case and your bone quality.

We recommend it for the first week if you can manage it. When that is not possible, our care coordinator stays with you through admission, surgery and discharge.

The surgeon will discuss the options with you. Chinese, Korean and imported prostheses differ in price and in expected longevity, and you choose together before the operation — nothing is decided without you.
