Knee Reconstruction - Get back to your active lifestyle quicker!


Suffering from Knee Osteoarthritis?

Don’t want to wait years on a waiting list to have a replacement or treatment?

We have a solution for you…

You can have your treatment overseas with no waiting time, and at a much more affordable cost!
 
Our knees are very fragile, and are constantly strained through walking, running and physical activity over time. In most cases, a knee injury is caused as a result of an active lifestyle, which is not only physically degenerating, but also emotionally straining on the individual. The damaged cartilage around the knee deteriorates and causes painful osteoarthritis, making it very difficult to carry out a normal life.

Some symptoms of knee arthritis can be maintained and improved through exercise or medication, however this is not always a permanent solution. One solution is a Knee Replacement.

A knee reconstruction involves an operation in which the damaged/diseased joint of the knee are removed and replaced with a prosthesis (artificial) joint.

If you’re familiar with hospitals in Australia, many patients who need procedures such as a knee replacement find themselves on a waiting list for years! Now this can be extremely debilitating to live a normal life with constant pain, and sometimes inability to walk.

Luckily, you have the option to get your life back to normal quicker and at a more affordable price – have a knee reconstruction surgery overseas!

By having MTM organise your surgery overseas, you have access to the world’s number one multi-disciplinary medical centre for medical tourists, which specialises in Orthopaedics – Prince Court Medical Centre, and access to the most experienced surgeons in the world. They are one of the very few hospitals in the world which specialise in multiple ligament injury for knee, ankle and shoulder reconstructions.

In the past, this procedure involved cutting into the whole joint, which could sometimes cause damage to the healthy joint and surrounding tissue. The advanced technology at Prince Court allows for a knee reconstruction to be carried out through Arthroscopy (Keyhole surgery), and is monitored via camera.

Having your surgery through MTM means you avoid the waiting time. The savings in cost are equally appealing, where a Knee Reconstruction in Australia typically costs around $25,000 AUD, in Malaysia the procedure is between $8,000 and $15,000 AUD, which allows you to save up to 67%.

Patients are finding that having knee replacement overseas allows them to get back to their normal active lives much faster, and MTM have a rehabilitation program in Australia to help you recover and get active sooner.

If you need a Knee Reconstruction, and want to save time spent on waiting lists, and money – call MTM on 1300 882 672 and speak to our consultants!
