Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Choose the Best Specialist for Osteotomy Surgery in Thailand?

Osteotomy is a surgical procedure that involves cutting and realigning bones to relieve pressure on joints or correct deformities, commonly used in hip, knee, and jaw surgeries. Selecting the right orthopaedic surgeon ensures long-term success, mobility restoration, and prevention of future joint degeneration.

How Do I Choose the Best Hospital or Clinic for Osteotomy Surgery in Thailand?

The best outcomes come from hospitals with advanced orthopaedic infrastructure, surgical navigation tools, and multidisciplinary rehab teams.

Look For:

  • JCI or ISO-accredited orthopaedic centres
  • Experience with high tibial, femoral, or pelvic osteotomy procedures
  • In-house diagnostics: digital X-ray, 3D CT, and MRI
  • Computer-assisted surgery/navigation support
  • Post-operative physiotherapy and gait training units
Can I Consult an Osteotomy Specialist Online Before Travelling?

Yes. MediGence allows international patients to consult orthopaedic surgeons virtually for evaluation and treatment planning.

To Prepare:

  • Upload recent weight-bearing X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs
  • Share details of symptoms (pain, alignment issues, limping)
  • Note any history of arthritis, previous surgeries, or sports injuries
  • Mention goals: joint preservation, pain relief, deformity correction
How Long Will I Need to Stay in Thailand for Osteotomy Surgery?

The length of your stay depends on the osteotomy type (high tibial, femoral, periacetabular) and rehabilitation plan.

Typical Duration:

  • Pre-op Planning & Evaluation: 2–3 days
  • Surgery & Hospital Stay: 4–6 days
  • Post-op Initial Rehab & Physiotherapy: 7–10 days
  • Follow-up & Travel Fitness Clearance: 3–5 days

Total Stay: 2–3 weeks
