Orthopedics & spine

Joint replacement & revision

For painful hip or knee disease, or problems with an existing joint replacement.

What we help you clarify

  1. 01

    Review the cause of pain and whether surgery is the appropriate next step.

  2. 02

    For a revision, assess the existing implant, bone condition and possible infection.

  3. 03

    Include rehabilitation, mobility aids and help at home in the plan.

Infection and bone loss can change both the operation and recovery. They are important topics for the pre-travel discussion.

Records to have ready

After agreeing the services, we help prepare these for the hospital. You can start the first conversation without uploading a complete file.

  • Recent joint X-rays and any CT/MRI reports
  • Previous operation report and implant details
  • Infection investigations, current medicines and mobility information

Send original scan files when requested. Reports are translated; the images remain in their original diagnostic format.

How we prepare your records

Cost and time away from home

Revision recovery can take longer than a first replacement. The written plan should cover hospital care, nearby recovery and rehabilitation at home.

Items to include in the estimate

  • Implant and any revision components
  • Surgery, anesthesia and inpatient care
  • Physiotherapy, aids and follow-up
