What to expect

Same implants, same technique — without the 14-month wait list.

Joint replacement wait times in the US and Canada average 6–18 months for non-emergency cases. In Mexico, our partner hospitals schedule within 5 business days of receiving your imaging. The implants are identical — Zimmer Biomet NexGen, Stryker Triathlon, or DePuy Attune — because they're sourced from the same global supply chain.

Mexico City's Hospital Español and Hospital Ángeles have orthopaedic departments that rival US academic medical centers. Many of our surgeons trained at HSS (Hospital for Special Surgery) in New York or the Cleveland Clinic and returned to lead departments at home. Physical therapy coordination, airport wheelchair service, and recovery-house placement are all included in our all-in packages.

Orthopaedic FAQ

Questions about joint replacement and orthopaedic surgery abroad

Are the implants the same as in the US?
Yes. Our partner hospitals use Zimmer Biomet, Stryker, DePuy Synthes, and Smith+Nephew implants — sourced from the same global distribution network that supplies US hospitals. You receive full device documentation including lot number and implant passport at discharge, and can register directly with the manufacturer for warranty coverage.
Do I need to send my imaging in advance?
Yes — your MediTours coordinator arranges a digital transfer of your X-rays, MRIs, and any prior surgical reports to your surgeon before you travel. The surgeon reviews your case and confirms surgical candidacy before you book flights. If you need updated imaging, we can arrange it locally.
How does physical therapy work after I return home?
Every orthopaedic package includes a written PT protocol designed by your surgeon, a 90-day telemedicine follow-up plan, and coordination with a physical therapist near your home before you travel. Your surgeon communicates directly with your home PT via the MediTours messaging system.
When can I fly home after joint replacement?
Most total knee and hip replacement patients fly home 10–14 days post-surgery. Your surgeon provides a flight-clearance letter and recommendations for compression stockings and aspirin prophylaxis for DVT. We arrange wheelchair assistance at both airports and coordinate in-cabin medical support if needed.
What if I need a revision surgery later?
Revision rates for total joint replacement are very low (less than 1% in 5 years at our partner hospitals). If you do need a revision, your original surgeon will evaluate you via telemedicine and the procedure can be done in Mexico or coordinated at a US hospital using the device documentation we provide. We maintain surgical records indefinitely.
