Orthopaedic surgery abroad

Have you considered going overseas for orthopaedic surgery such as knee replacement surgery, hip replacement surgery, shoulder surgery, spine surgery, back surgery and hand and foot surgery?

Hospitals in countries such as Cyprus, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Malta, India, Latvia, Norway, Switzerland and Belgium (including a specialist centre for spinal surgery), have excellent medical and surgical facilities and offer an attractive alternative which you may wish to consider if you are looking for orthopaedic surgery abroad.

Prices for orthopaedic surgery in Europe are highly competitive. For example, the cost of a hip replacement operation in a private hospital in the UK might be around £7,000 to £8,000. By opting to go for treatment in another European country, you could save £3,000 to £4,000. Some treatment providers arrange pre-operative assessment and an aftercare service in the UK.
