If you’re suffering from chronic hip pain and facing long wait times or overwhelming costs in your home country, you’re not alone. More and more retirees and older adults are turning to hip replacement abroad to find fast, effective, and affordable relief. And at Hips and Knees Joint Restoration and Replacement Center in the Philippines, we’re here to help you walk confidently again—without breaking the bank.
Why Choose Hip Replacement Abroad?
Many patients from the USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Europe are surprised to learn that hip replacement surgery abroad can cost 50–70% less than what they’d pay at home. In countries with overburdened public systems or expensive private care, it’s common to wait months—or even years—for treatment.
By choosing hip surgery overseas in the Philippines, you avoid delays, reduce your expenses, and access high-quality care from expert orthopedic surgeons in a JCI-accredited facility. It’s no wonder medical tourism for orthopedic care is on the rise.
Why Our Center in the Philippines?
At Hips and Knees Joint Restoration and Replacement Center, we offer far more than just cost savings. Here’s what sets us apart:
- Internationally Trained Surgeons: Our lead orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Tec, is a pioneer in modern joint replacement techniques, including the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA).
- World-Class Safety: Surgeries are performed in a JCI-accredited hospital—a mark of global excellence in patient care.
- Up to 70% Savings: Get the same quality hip replacement at a fraction of the cost of surgery in the US, UK, or Australia.
- Fast Scheduling: Most patients are scheduled within 2–4 weeks of their consultation.
- Seamless Medical Tourism Services: We assist with every step—from flights to accommodation to rehab support—so your only focus is healing.
Advanced Surgical Technique: Direct Anterior Approach (DAA)
We specialize in the Direct Anterior Approach, a muscle-sparing hip replacement technique that offers several advantages over traditional methods:
- Less pain and quicker recovery
- Lower risk of dislocation
- No need for post-op movement restrictions
- Faster return to walking, stair climbing, and daily life
This technique is ideal for active retirees who want to get back to enjoying life sooner—with fewer complications.
