Common questions
When can I fly after a hip replacement?
Usually after about two weeks, once your surgeon has checked the wound and your walking. Long flights need care to prevent blood clots, so follow the hospital's advice.
What should a quote include?
Ask for the implant type, the number of nights in hospital, physiotherapy and the follow-up visit before you leave, all in writing.
Is there a waiting list?
Private hospitals abroad can usually schedule surgery within a few weeks of receiving your reports.
