Costa Rica Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Repair Surgery
ACL repair surgeon from Costa Rica http://www.medicaltourismco.com/orthopedic-joint-bone/ACL-reconstruction-surgery-cost-abroad.php
discusses the surgery. More affordable prices and of very high quality surgery performed by board-certified orthopedic surgeons in top private hospitals of Costa Rica attracts many medical tourist.
The human knee has four ligaments: medial, lateral, and the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments.
The anterior cruciate ligament happens to be one of the most susceptible to injury. And athletes and sportspersons frequently end up with ACL tears.
Earlier, when surgical resources were not so advanced, ACL injury meant that all sports activities had to be stopped. But thats not the case today.
For instance, the quadruple tendon technique can be used with an autograft. That is, tissue is taken from the patients body to re-build the ACL. With autografts, there is no fear of rejection.
Earlier, the recuperation period would be something like 4-5 months. But now, ACL patients start working in about 10 days.
Medical Tourism Corporation facilitates low cost ACL reconstruction in Costa Rica, Mexico & India and other orthopedic surgery like knee meniscectomy, total knee replacement, hip replacement, hip resurfacing, shoulder replacement, shoulder resurfacing, bunion surgery, open ankle reduction, carpal tunnel decompression, and more.
Costa Rica is a great place for knee surgery as the cost savings is close to 50%. Plus, there are English-speaking staff at the hospitals, proximity to the US and Canada, friendly people, and good vacation spots for recovery.

The Undressing of My Knee
With my trusty Sony Handycam on a tripod, I remove the bandages & dressing from my knee arthroscopy 3 days prior (4/25/08).
History - I had a horizontal medial meniscus tear in my left knee caused by a massive tumble while powerwalking. Instead of repair, my surgeon opted for a partial meniscectomy.
Outcome - So far so awesome on Day 4! Stitches come out this Friday on 5/2/08.

Meniscus Tear Repair Costa Rica
http://www.medicaltourismco.com/orthopedic-joint-bone/knee-miniscus-arthroscopy-repair.php
Expert orthopedic costa rican surgeon talks about meniscus repair & meniscectomy surgery. According to him the meniscus tissue in the knee plays many roles. For instance, it helps protecting the cartilage from damage; it biomechanically stabilizes the knee, etc.
When there is a meniscal tear, first non-surgical means of treatment like physiotherapy, anti-inflammatory medication, and avoiding strenuous physical activity for some time like sports should be tried. Most meniscal injuries heal by themselves.
If the knee pain does not go away, then meniscal repair is done by meniscal preservation techniques. In meniscal surgery, decisions have to be taken on-site. Even if an MRI is done beforehand and it is ascertained that meniscal repair needs to be done, the meniscus is made of different parts. And only when incisions are made and the knee surgeon looks inside the knee, he/she can decide if the damaged part of the meniscus will or wont heal. If it doesnt look like it will heal, the damaged part of the meniscus has to be removed, instead of trying to repair it.
Costa Rica, India, Mexico are some of the many destinations where the low cost high quality medical care is available.

discusses the surgery. More affordable prices and of very high quality surgery performed by board-certified orthopedic surgeons in top private hospitals of Costa Rica attracts many medical tourist.
The human knee has four ligaments: medial, lateral, and the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments.
The anterior cruciate ligament happens to be one of the most susceptible to injury. And athletes and sportspersons frequently end up with ACL tears.
Earlier, when surgical resources were not so advanced, ACL injury meant that all sports activities had to be stopped. But thats not the case today.
For instance, the quadruple tendon technique can be used with an autograft. That is, tissue is taken from the patients body to re-build the ACL. With autografts, there is no fear of rejection.
Earlier, the recuperation period would be something like 4-5 months. But now, ACL patients start working in about 10 days.
Medical Tourism Corporation facilitates low cost ACL reconstruction in Costa Rica, Mexico & India and other orthopedic surgery like knee meniscectomy, total knee replacement, hip replacement, hip resurfacing, shoulder replacement, shoulder resurfacing, bunion surgery, open ankle reduction, carpal tunnel decompression, and more.
Costa Rica is a great place for knee surgery as the cost savings is close to 50%. Plus, there are English-speaking staff at the hospitals, proximity to the US and Canada, friendly people, and good vacation spots for recovery.
