Top Benefits of Traveling for Hip Replacement Abroad

For many patients around the world, living with chronic hip pain is a daily struggle. Whether it’s due to osteoarthritis, injury, or degenerative joint disease, the path to healing often feels blocked by high medical costs, long public healthcare waitlists, or limited insurance coverage. That’s why more and more people from countries like the USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Ireland, Scandinavia, and the Middle East are now exploring the option of hip replacement abroad—and finding better results, faster recovery, and far greater savings.

At Hips and Knees Joint Restoration and Replacement Center in the Philippines, we’ve helped thousands of international patients regain their mobility through advanced, patient-centered care. Here’s why making the trip for hip surgery overseas could be one of the best decisions you’ll ever make.

Major Cost Savings Without Compromising Quality

Let’s face it: surgery in countries like the United States, United Kingdom, or Australia can cost anywhere between $30,000 and $60,000—not including rehab, accommodation, or post-op care. At our center in the Philippines, patients typically save 50% to 70% on total costs. These savings come without cutting corners.

We offer transparent, all-inclusive packages that cover:

  • Hip replacement surgery using the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA)
  • Pre-surgery medical tests and consultations
  • Hospital stay and professional nursing care
  • Physiotherapy and follow-up support
  • Comfortable recovery accommodations and airport transfers

And yes—no hidden fees.

Skip the Wait and Get Treated Sooner

In many countries, public healthcare systems are overwhelmed. Patients can wait months or even years for surgery. Meanwhile, the pain worsens and quality of life declines.

At Hips and Knees, we offer priority scheduling. Once your virtual consultation is complete and your medical records are reviewed, your surgery can be booked within 2 to 4 weeks. This means:

  • Less time in pain
  • Quicker return to daily life
  • Immediate access to world-class orthopedic care

Advanced Surgical Techniques for Faster Recovery

We specialize in the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA)—a minimally invasive technique that avoids cutting through major muscles. This modern method is known for:

  • Less post-surgical pain
  • Smaller incisions
  • Lower risk of dislocation
  • Quicker rehabilitation

Under the expert hands of Dr. Tec, who is internationally trained and highly experienced in DAA, patients enjoy better long-term results with a smoother overall experience.

Seamless Support Every Step of the Way

One of the biggest concerns patients have about medical tourism is logistics. That’s where we shine.

Our medical tourism concierge service takes care of:

  • Airport pick-up and drop-off
  • Comfortable, recovery-friendly lodging
  • Pre-operative coordination
  • 24/7 patient support
  • Post-op rehab and telemedicine check-ins

From your first inquiry to the moment you return home, we handle every detail so you can focus on healing.

World-Class Standards in a JCI-Accredited Facility

Quality and safety matter—especially when traveling for surgery. Our hospital is JCI-accredited, meeting the same international standards as top institutions in the US or Europe. You’ll be treated in a clean, fully equipped environment with:

  • Skilled surgical teams
  • Modern imaging and lab equipment
  • Strict infection control protocols
  • Personalized rehabilitation programs

All while enjoying the warmth, attentiveness, and hospitality the Philippines is known for.

A Perfect Fit for Many Types of Patients

Our center is proud to welcome a wide range of patients, including:

  • Retirees and seniors (ages 55–75) from high-cost countries
  • Self-employed professionals or expats with limited insurance
  • Middle-aged adults with arthritis or joint conditions
  • Medical tourists from the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and beyond
  • European patients from France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, and Switzerland dealing with delays or costly private care

Wherever you’re from—London, Sydney, Toronto, Dubai, or Munich—you’ll receive compassionate, expert care tailored to your needs.

Recovery That Feels Like a Vacation

After surgery, recovery continues at a nearby serviced apartment or hotel—carefully selected for comfort and accessibility. You’ll enjoy:

  • 2–3 physiotherapy sessions per week
  • Weekly check-ins with Dr. Tec
  • Optional nursing visits for medication and wound care
  • Light leisure activities to keep your spirits high

It’s not just medical care—it’s a healing experience in paradise.
