Hip resurfacing, as an option for orthopaedic surgery, has been around for at least a decade, and is still being enquired about by patients. However, this option is not very popular and well known by patients, and therefore, even if it may sound as an attractive one for some, is rarely considered as a better option compared to hip replacement surgery.

Vilnius, Lithuania -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/04/2015 -- Total hip replacement is a proven and effective technique that results in excellent pain relief and function in most patients for many years. Hip resurfacing, on the other hand, has been advertised in a way that made patients believe it might be simpler or better in some way. Many younger patients tend to believe that hip resurfacing is the best option for them because of their young age – making it seem that if they have the resurfacing surgery first, they could have the replacement surgery done later. However, the procedure to do a hip resurfacing actually is more complex and the dissection much more extensive than with total hip replacement surgery.

Hip Resurfacing VW Hip Replacement Abroad: Patient Options

However, due to poor results, many well experienced surgeons in Europe refuse to perform hip resurfacing surgery and go for hip replacement instead. An excellent alternative for hip resurfacing is to do a hip replacement with a short joint – the results are great and the surgery is very effective.

"We believe in doing what's best for the patient according to doctors who have decades of experience, not what the patient thinks he would like to have done. Hip resurfacing seems to be the trendy option for younger patients and athletes. We do not really need to try to convince patients to go for a hip replacement surgery instead of a hip resurfacing surgery - once they speak with the surgeon and see why one is better than the other, they understand and change their mind right there." – says Andrius Jonutis, General Deputy Manager at Kardiolita private general hospital in Vilnius, Lithuania.

Orthopaedic surgeons at Kardiolita private general hospital in Vilnius, Lithuania, perform hip replacement surgeries daily, and the waiting times to book the dates for a surgery are usually less than 7 days. Lithuania is #2 in the world for the lowest number of complications after orthopaedic surgeries.

Shoulder replacement surgery, although not as common as hip replacement or knee replacement surgery, is an effective way of treatment for shoulder joint pain or disability. When the bones are torn or parts of the shoulder bone are damaged, shoulder joint replacement surgery has proven to be one of the most effective ways of treatment.

Vilnius, Lithuania -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/20/2015 -- Just like with other orthopaedic surgeries, patients are actively seeking for options to have the surgery performed at a lower cost which often leads patients to choose shoulder surgery abroad.

Before proceeding with booking the surgery in another country, it is highly recommended to have patient's health examined in order to make sure the patient is healthy enough to have the surgery and complete the recovery process.

"It is quite common to have problems with both shoulders, especially for older people, and in this case many patients would enquire whether they could have both of their shoulders operated on the same visit." – says Andrius Jonutis, General Deputy Manager at Kardiolita private general hospital in Vilnius, Lithuania.

In theory, this would not cause technical problems but in reality, shoulders can be operated one at a time, with a minimum healing and recovery period of 3 months in between the two surgeries. The reason being that the patient would not be able to live normally with both shoulder joints replaced at the same time – not possible to move hands or help yourself at all. This is why, when both shoulders need replaced, shoulder replacement surgery abroad should be evaluated considering the double visit factor: the first visit – for the first surgery, and the second visit for the second surgery. Additionally, on the second visit the operating surgeon reviews how the already operated shoulder is healing, and may provide advice on what to do, and what to avoid, with the second surgery.

Orthopaedic surgeons at Kardiolita private general hospital in Vilnius, Lithuania, perform shoulder joint replacement surgeries daily, and the waiting times to book the dates for a surgery are usually less than 7 days. Lithuania is #2 in the world for the lowest number of complications after orthopaedic surgeries.

For patients coming from the UK, we can assist with the process of the NHS funding for the surgery, which would reduce the total price for you by up to 80% (you would only need to pay for the travel and cover the difference – if any – of the payment that the NHS refunds).

Vilnius, Lithuania -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/21/2015 -- In the UK, it is quite common for a person after trauma to wait weeks in order to see a doctor and get a diagnosis and medical treatment plan. It is not uncommon to wait 10+ weeks to have the necessary appointments and tests done, and even after that, many patients would not know what to do next.

In the recent years, more and more people from the UK go abroad for medical treatment and surgeries. However, it is getting more common for people to go to another country to just have all the necessary tests and diagnostics done after traumas, with a goal to have a clear view of the condition and a clear medical treatment plan after trauma.

Liam Davies, who had knee injury 4 months ago, says: "I simply could not wait for weeks to get my diagnosis in the UK. My range of movement was limited, my leg would get swollen, my life was not comfortable at all – I just had to stop this waiting and wanted to actually know what the problem was, and how it had to be treated. Going to a hospital abroad and spending 2 days there to solve all this problem looked like a very good option – and I am extremely happy to have done exactly that. Not only I got full diagnosis of my condition, I also knew what and how needs to be treated in order to get back to normal again."

Andrius Jonutis, General Deputy Manager at Kardiolita, says: "While most of our patients from abroad come to us for surgeries, we see more and more people arrive for getting a diagnosis and treatment plan after trauma – couple of days at Kardiolita hospital, and they get what would take them months to get in the UK - very wise decision indeed. Moreover, these patients also come back to us for surgeries – saving up to 80% of what it would cost them in the UK."

It is important to note that for elective treatment and surgeries, UK patients can get their treatment cost reimbursed by the NHS.

Working people are really busy these days, and knowing there is family, work and other duties, it is not easy to find the time and go visit doctors for a regular health checkup, especially knowing that in the UK, it is hard to find a suitable option for having everything done in just one day.

Vilnius, Lithuania -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/15/2015 -- However, many UK residents - men and women from all over UK, are catching a new trend – taking a couple days off work to go abroad to a close country and do their full health checkup abroad fast and at low cost.

Andrius Jonutis, Deputy General Manager at Kardiolita Private hospital in Vilnius, Lithuania, says: "Health checkups is really that type of self-care regime that most people simply forget or ignore due to lack of time, especially when they do not have pain. In the UK, it is also very expensive and takes long to go through different specialists, do various blood tests and instrumental tests. However, those who know of a convenient alternative – having full health checkup done in another country for a low price, are happily choosing this option. Many people come with their families, too".

While going abroad for surgical treatment might seem a little too risky for some, choosing another country for a full health checkup is an option attractive for most because there is no risk involved. Furthermore, when there's only 1-2 days needed and it costs significantly less than in the UK (full health checkup price abroad is around £1000), it does look like a really attractive option even for the most conservative people from the UK.
