The package includes (for uncomplicated, simple cases) the cost of:
- Imported American joint
- Antibiotic cement
- All medicines
- 14 day hospital stay for the patient and one accompanying relative in a twin-sharing room with another patient (single room would cost more)
- All meals for the patient and one accompanying relative (14 days)
- 14 days of physiotherapy post surgery
- 14 days of care by an experienced orthopaedic surgeon
We believe that our package is especially useful since we offer physiotherapy by the patients bedside, and physiotherapy is the factor that can make or break the outcome of joint replacement surgery. In fact, we explain to our patients that the common post-operative (TKR) course of recovery involves:
- Standing, bending and sitting out in a chair on Day 1
- Walking (with aids) on Day 2
- Climbing stairs on Day 4/5
- Home (with 2 walking sticks) on Day 5-7
- Walking unaided (or with a stick) and driving by Week 6 after surgery
- Full recovery by Week 10-12 after surgery
