Most procedures are aimed at alleviating pain and restoring mobility. If you have a medical problem in your hip, knee, spine, hand, elbow, shoulder or ankle you need an orthopedic specialist. From arthroplasty to arthroscopy, whether its total hip replacement (THR) or total knee replacement (TKR), partial knee resurfacing (PKR) or hip resurfacing, lumbar spine fusion or disc surgery, we offer world class treatment at a fraction of the US cost (Usually no more than 20% of American quotes).  Recent favorable currency rate changes allow us to expand our elite english speaking surgeon network to three continents and four destinations: Auckland, Brussels, Chennai and Delhi.  The quality is impeccable and the value unbeatable!  Some of our choices are unavailable elsewhere. If you are uninsured and self-pay or willing to self-pay because your insurance provider network doesn’t offer qualified specialists or your wait is too long in Canada or the UK, the most important criteria are quality and cost.  You welcome transparency when you can find it.  You’ve just found it!  What would cost you $40 to $100 thousand and higher  in the States on a self-pay basis is available for, in many cases, under $10-$15,000 including FDA approved hardware through IncredibleOrtho and our Medical Travel company, Boomer Health Travel, America’s first choice for joint surgery and back surgery abroad.  Please visit www.boomerhealthtravel.com/

If you’ve found your way to IncredibleOrtho, you have reached the fourth stage that patients go through on their way to accepting the need for replacement. A 2008 Kent State University research paper identifies this as the “hurting and hoping” stage where you want to feel normal again and return to activities you had to give up. Or maybe you are at stage three, “letting go and letting in.” It’s time to give up some independence and control, understand how joint replacement will improve and enhance your quality of life. There’s no better way than learning from those who have done it and can guide you through the process. That’s the reason we created IncredibleOrtho.com, to help you find the best choice, the highest quality and the most affordable solution. You’ve been “putting up and putting off” too long and now you are tired of “waiting and worrying.”

If you have health insurance and don’t care what the cost is, then prepare to be a victim of your own circumstances, the health insurer, the surgeon, the hospital and the maize that is the American healthcare system.  And don’t count on getting the best treatment for you!  However, if you care about getting the best, if you want to learn more about the variety of implants and what constitutes a World Class Surgeon, read on.  It’s orthopedic treatment for the well informed.  More informed decision making leads to more control over the outcome.

The latest techniques from minimally invasive to the newest procedures such as Birmingham Hip Resurfacing to cutting edge implant devices are available through our super specialists.Hip Resurfacing is not a new concept, unless you’re an uninformed American or an American orthopedic doctor unwilling to learn the newest technology. Relatively few US surgeons are experienced in performing the procedure. While it has been in practice around the World for over a decade, the FDA only approved its use in the US in 2006. A UK company pioneered metal implant Hip Resurfacing technology and introduced the first system in 1991. India, Europe, Australia and most recently Canada have seen a rise in popularity of Hip Resurfacing. Many informed American patients have already traveled overseas. The device has been implanted over 80,000 times worldwide. Developed by British orthopedic surgeons, Hip Resurfacing is the preferred choice for young, active patients. The implants head size, its bearing surfaces and its bone-sparing technique offer advantages over total hip replacement alternatives. Prior to 2006, total hip replacement was the only option available in the US, and then, it was generally recommended for patients over age 60 because it wears out and once you’ve received one total hip replacement, that’s it! Because the head/neck of your femur has been removed, a future procedure would be more complex and you would be receiving a more invasive implant.

There are certain causes of hip arthritis that preclude the use of hip resurfacing. Bone quality may also preclude such hip resurfacing technique. An orthopedic surgeon will determine whether you are a candidate. Some tests may be required. Results depend on a patient’s personal circumstances including obesity level. Hip Resurfacing is but one of many joint replacement options available from our super specialists who perform over 300-joint replacements annually. In fact, aside from cardiac treatment, orthopedic treatments are the second leading reason foreign patients travel.

Over 200,000 hip replacements and resurfacings are done annually in the US at a cost of $50,000 to $75,000. A top-notch surgeon at one of our world class hospitals will do it for less than $10,000 USD. Travel expenses are extra. Some specialty centers have done over 1,400 hip resurfacing procedures since its introduction. The care and treatment are First Class and you will receive the latest technology available anywhere. Hip Resurfacing hardware from technology leaders Depuy Orthopedics (Johnson & Johnson), Smith & Nephew, Zimmer and others are readily available.

Mid-Stem and Deep-Stem are available only at five research centres around the world.  Minimally Invasive hip replacement surgery is relatively new and can have you back on your feet faster. Smaller incisions and less trauma to underlying muscles and soft tissues result in smaller scars, minimal pain and a faster return to everyday activities.  Computer-assisted hip replacement gives surgeons enhanced surgical visualization, allows more accurate hip implant alignment and positioning and fewer possible complications.  Hip Revision Surgery removes failed implants and replaces them with new ones, which will Help make your hip strong, stable and flexible again.
