Looking for total hip replacement abroad?

Hip replacement surgery is a procedure in which a doctor surgically removes a painful hip joint with arthritis and replaces it with an artificial joint often made from metal and plastic components. Materials used in making your artificial joints are strong and designed to last inside your body.

It’s usually done when all other treatment options have failed to provide adequate pain relief.

These are: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic arthritis, avascular necrosis.

Even though the procedure can be performed for everyone, in most cases it is performed for people above 50.

Patients go for gastric sleeve abroad for multiple reasons. Main ones being:

• There are no (or very short) waiting lines for bariatric surgeries
• Individual attention from the surgeons
• Recommendations from previous patients, friends or family
• Top quality service for affordable prices
• Possibility for a refund from your local health board

Yes, absolutely. Every patient of our clinic is insured by a sum of €50,000. The cover is against injury as a result of medical services.

Read about our surgeons at the bottom of this page.

Our clinic is not based in the centre of Stockholm or London, and does not have to pay eye-watering rents. We also work with a limited number of patients and do not waste massive sums on marketing. Therefore, you pay only for the surgery & world-class rehabilitation (and not for an expensive location or advertising on TV or in the tube).

At the same time you get an all-inclusive package (making your travel stress-free) when booking with us.

Getting the surgery abroad involves similar risks as getting the surgery at home. For that reason, we recommend to always check the following:

• The surgeons and their credentials. Preferably, ask for an online consultation to meet your surgeon before going abroad
• What do the previous patients say about the clinic and their experience
• Whether you will be insured

Never base your decision on the price alone.

You can have your surgery done for free by claiming a refund from your local health board. We are helping patients with the documentation needed in order to claim a refund after following the EU directive route for medical treatment abroad. Patients usually choose this route because of the long waiting list in their country of origin.

Most of the patients can travel back 6-7 days after the surgery. However, patients who are overweight or have additional health issues may need to stay a bit longer – for 8-10 days.

For your flight back it is advisable to get special assistance to help getting in/out of the plane. The service is freely provided by the airports/airlines.

Already after the first day of the surgery most of the patients feel better than before. That’s because they don’t feel any arthritic pain. Surely, there might be pain along the incision (which can be managed with painkillers).

Eating and drinking is usually allowed on the first day too. After the first day, most of the patients can sit up on the edge of the bed and stand. On the third day, patients can walk slowly using crutches with clinic personal help.

All the pain is normally gone 7 days following the surgery and painkillers are not required, however there are some restrictions for movement.

4/6 weeks after the surgery the patients can already enjoy active lifestyle.

Most of the patients can drive in 3-4 weeks after the surgery.

Our clinic uses only top-notch hip implants such as: Zimmer Biomet, Smith & Nephew

These implants have very low dislocation rate.

You will not need any special changes in your daily environment.

We like to say that our clinic (based in Lithuania, EU) is not a factory. That is we work only with a limited number of patients per year. That helps us to provide our best and give much-needed personal attention to the patients.

The clinic itself is equipped with the newest medical technologies. Naturally, it checks all the EU care standards and employs maximum safety measures. After surgeries the patients stay in cozy single-bed rooms. It makes your recovery calm and pleasant.

Our brand is rated 4.8/5 by hundreds of UK & EU patients. See their (video) reviews here.

Complications after hip replacement are rare; yet they may occur (as is with any other surgical procedure). There is increased risk for obese people, who are advised to undergo weight loss treatments prior to hip replacement. The complications include:

• Joint infection
• Blood clots
• Leg-length Inequality
• Hip implant dislocation
• Implant loosening
• Nerve injury
• Bleeding, fracture, stiffness

You will be guided through all the possible complications during your consultation(s) with the surgeon.

In case you are feeling unwell or there is anything abnormal:

While you are still in Lithuania: you will be immediately checked upon by the medical personnel. Should there be a need for a follow-up procedure, it would be carried out for you free of charge.

Complication in the later stages of the recovery is even rarer and most of the time not an emergency. If they happen, our surgeon would consult you online and explain the steps to take.
