What happens during
Ankle Replacement Surgery Abroad
Anaesthesia
Your ankle replacement procedure will begin with either a general or spinal anaesthetic to ensure you're fully comfortable throughout surgery
Procedure
The orthopaedic surgeon carefully removes damaged bone and cartilage, then inserts a prosthetic ankle joint made of metal and medical-grade plastic to restore movement and relieve pain
Implants
Most ankle replacement implants are made from high-quality titanium and polyethylene for long-term durability
Surgery Time
Ankle replacement surgery typically lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours, depending on your specific needs
Hospital Stay
After surgery, patients usually stay in a private clinic abroad for 2 to 4 nights to begin recovery with attentive post-op care
Choosing ankle replacement abroad means being cared for by an experienced medical team that guides you through every step - from surgery prep to the first steps of your recovery.
Our goal is to give you the confidence and care you deserve, with every detail handled for you.
