Hip and knee pain are typical afflictions, particularly in those over 50. Normal wear and tear, injuries and arthritis take a toll on these major joints, making them the most common orthopedic surgeries. Some people cope with pain in their hips or knees by reducing their physical activity or favoring the stronger joint. That decrease in activity leads to immobility and a reduced quality of life and life expectancy.
American Physicians Network (APN) helps patients find and access affordable Hip and Knee Surgery treatment options with surgeons who have received their country’s highest standard of certification and completed extensive training, including advanced fellowships. APN can work with you to help you understand your treatment options.

Is Medical Tourism Safe When Used for Hip and Knee Surgery?
The orthopedic surgeons affiliated with APN are recognized as experts in their field and are committed to ensuring the highest level of patient care.
A decade ago, patients postponed surgery because of the purported 10-year life expectancy of artificial joints. Newer technology has now doubled the lifespan of implants, making it possible and even preferable to have surgery earlier rather than later.
