About the Treatment
Joint Replacement Surgery or Arthroplasty is the removal of damaged joints and their replacement by artificial joints, made of chromium, cobalt and titanium, along with high-density plastics.
The ends of the knee joint are lined with metal components, and a medical-grade plastic implant is used to create the new cushion. It is the patient's own muscles and ligaments that provide strength and stability to their new knee.
This type of surgery is required when a person has a high degree of alteration of the function and shape of the knee by a chronic and progressive joint disease (called Gonarthrosis) or by fractures, which are characterized by intense pain, stiffness and deformity of the joint, limitation of movement and instability.
Numerous advances in surgical techniques, instrument development, surgical robot and implants have made knee joint replacement highly successful procedures. After surgery, patients return to a much more active life since the prosthesis eliminates pain and improves mobility.

How to Minimize Medical Tourism Risks
CDC Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
-
If you are planning to travel to another country for medical care, see a your healthcare provider or travel medicine provider at least 4–6 weeks before the trip to discuss general information for healthy travel and learn about specific risks you may face because of your health status, the procedure, and travel before and after the procedure.
-
Obtain international travel health insurance that covers medical evacuation back to your country of origin.
-
Before planning vacation activities, such as swimming or taking tours, find out what activities are not permitted after the procedure.
-
Bring copies of your medical records with you, including results of lab tests and any other tests done related to your condition and care. Inform the medical staff at your destination of any allergies you may have.
-
Pack a travel health kit with your prescription and over-the-counter medicines. Bring enough medicine to last your whole trip, plus a little extra in case of delays. Also, bring copies of all your prescriptions and a list of medications you take, including their brand names, generic names, manufacturers, and dosages.
-
Get copies of all your medical records from the destination, before you return home. You may need to get them translated into English
-
Identify where you will be staying immediately after the procedure.
-
Before you travel abroad for medical tourism make sure you can get any needed follow-up care in your country of origin.
