Title: Is it possible to do the surgery overseas where the cost is cheaper and follow i
Post by: John6015 on September 09, 2023, 11:04:45 PM
Follow up in the states ?.
I live in USA. Here the average cost is 200k to get both femur and tibia done with precise.

But let say I get it done in Vietnam or India where the cost is cheaper but follow up here in the states?
Wondering if anyone done this to spread the cost.

In India and Vietnam they're pretty much only inexperienced surgeons, in turkey the story is almost the same. However they're still surgeons like Dr. Giotikas (Greece), Mustafa Uysal, and Metin K that have decades of experience and cares about the global safety standards. Here cost with everything with Precice your're looking to shell out about 50000 - 60000 dollars. You could also do the LON method however that should only be done if your budget is very low and you live in a country where it will take you forever to safe up for precice. That will cost you about 35 dollars in total with all expensives.

I've been hearing really good things about Dr. Giotikas in Greece. Would love to know how much are his rates, if you can share that information. Thanks in advance.

Agreed with LovingLongLegs except Dr Betz. He tends to overlengthen almost every patient while forgetting to cut the IT band, so I would avoid him.

Betz is retired and dr. peter thaller is also a good option in berlin, Germany.

this is probably standard . im currently doing it in vietnam. just have to look for accommodation and food stuff and therapy stuff. what really fits you. as for surgery type i recommend precice 2 for ease of complications and not have to move around with some heavy equipment with lon. cleaning pin sites and all that is alot of work too.
