Brand New Buzz

With medical tourism on the rise due to daunting health care costs, people are turning to such countries as Mexico and India, among others, for responsible surgical procedures. As one of the most common operations, hip surgery has become a viable alternative to putting up with chronic pain due to injury or arthritis.

As the hip joint undergoes wear and tear, the normally smooth ball and socket joint becomes compromised. The cartilage that covers the area begins to fray, causing the bones to rub against each other. Whether this is due to the affects of aging, sports injuries, or arthritis, the result is painful. One of the most common hip surgery practices is hip resurfacing, where the damaged area is replaced with metal and/or durable plastic implants that allow the patient to feel literally “brand new!”

Cheap hip surgery can be found in several countries outside the United States, with India and Mexico leading as excellent contestants. Several Indian hospitals boasts relationships with Harvard Medical and Johns Hopkins, and employ highly trained surgeons that rival those in the United States. Mexico hospitals are another alternative, providing world class treatment at a fraction of the cost found in the United States. Here patients can find many private clinics with multi-lingual staff members, world-class diagnostics, and the highest quality surgical procedures.
