5 Reasons to Consider Hip Replacement Abroad Instead of Waiting at Home

If you’re living with chronic hip pain and facing long waiting lists or high surgery costs in your home country, you’re not alone. Thousands of patients from the USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Europe are now looking abroad for orthopedic care. For many, the Philippines—specifically the Hips and Knees Joint Restoration and Replacement Center—is proving to be the ideal solution.

Here’s why more people are choosing hip replacement abroad instead of waiting at home.

Skip the Long Waitlists in Public Healthcare Systems

In many Western countries, especially those with public healthcare, wait times for hip replacement surgery can stretch from several months to over a year. Patients in the UK, Canada, New Zealand, and Scandinavian nations often find themselves stuck in a cycle of pain, limited mobility, and declining quality of life while they wait their turn.

At Hips and Knees Joint Restoration and Replacement Center in the Philippines, waitlists are virtually non-existent. After your virtual consultation with Dr. Tec, surgery can often be scheduled within just 2–4 weeks. That means faster relief, quicker recovery, and getting your life back—without delay.

Save 50–70% Compared to Surgery Costs at Home

One of the biggest reasons retirees and medical travelers from the USA, UK, Australia, and Europe choose hip replacement abroad is the massive cost savings. While hip surgery can cost $30,000–$60,000 in countries like the United States and Australia, the same procedure—including accommodation, hospital fees, surgery, and rehab—costs just a fraction of that in the Philippines.

Our transparent, all-inclusive packages make medical travel simple and budget-friendly. There are no hidden fees, just affordable world-class care.

Receive Advanced Surgical Care with Faster Recovery

At Hips and Knees, we specialize in the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA)—a minimally invasive, muscle-sparing technique that leads to:

  • Less post-operative pain
  • A quicker return to walking
  • Minimal surgical scarring
  • Better long-term mobility

Your surgery will be performed by Dr. Tec, a surgeon with international training and decades of experience. All procedures take place in JCI-accredited hospitals, maintaining the same safety and quality standards as top facilities in the USA and Europe.

Most patients are walking by Day 11 and continue rehab in comfort—helped by expert physical therapists and caring staff.

Enjoy a Seamless, Stress-Free Medical Tourism Experience

When you travel for hip replacement abroad with us, you won’t have to figure things out alone. We provide full concierge support, including:

  • Help with booking flights and travel
  • Airport pick-up and drop-off
  • Recovery-ready hotel or apartment accommodations
  • 24/7 care coordination and translation (if needed)

We’ve designed the entire journey—from your first inquiry to full recovery—to be as easy, safe, and worry-free as possible. You just focus on healing; we handle the rest.

Heal in a Warm, Welcoming, and Peaceful Environment

The Philippines is not just a destination for world-class surgery—it’s a place of hospitality, sunshine, and comfort. Many of our patients say the emotional and mental aspects of their recovery were just as important as the physical healing.

You’ll stay in a tranquil setting, often close to scenic areas or beaches, surrounded by caregivers who treat you like family. This is especially valued by patients from the Middle East, UK, Australia, and Europe, where recovery can feel sterile and impersonal.

At Hips and Knees, your recovery feels less like a hospital stay and more like a wellness retreat—with all the clinical standards intact.
