What most patients ask.
When can I fly home?+
Most patients are medically cleared to fly 7–10 days post-op. Upgraded seating is arranged where clinically appropriate.
What about aftercare in the UK?+
We coordinate a full discharge summary for your UK GP and help identify a UK-based physiotherapist to continue your programme. Post-op surgical queries route to your partner surgeon for 12 months.
Which implants are used?+
Partner hospitals use implants from Zimmer Biomet, Stryker, Smith & Nephew, DePuy Synthes — the same manufacturers used in UK private orthopaedic practice.
