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.
