Knee Reconstruction

Arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a surgical procedure aimed at replacing the ruptured ligament within the knee joint. Unlike traditional open surgery, this procedure is performed arthroscopically, meaning it's done without directly opening the knee joint. Arthroscopy offers advantages such as preserving the anatomical structure and accessing the joint without causing significant muscle damage. This technique results in minimal blood loss and promotes faster post-operative recovery.

Knee Replacement

Knee replacement surgery, also known as arthroplasty, is generally regarded as an effective treatment for end-stage knee arthritis.

Bunion Surgery

Bunion surgery, or bunionectomy, is a procedure aimed at realigning the toe joint and relieving pain. Embarking on the path to bunion surgery through Healthcare Abroad involves a meticulous and supportive process designed to ensure your comfort and peace of mind.

Our Patient Stories

“I was in so much pain I couldn’t sleep or bend my knee and being self-employed, I needed to get fixed. A visit to A&E didn’t work out so I googled knee replacement and Healthcare Abroad came up. I rang Chris on a Sunday night in extreme pain and was so relieved when he picked up.”

“I was feeling very frustrated from years of not having enough energy for my young family and a demanding career and facing a possible future of diabetes and heart issues.” A chance encounter with a friend of a friend, who came to her house with her children for Halloween treats “changed her life”.

The pain has gone. I can walk again. I’m in really super form and looking forward to living properly again. “I highly recommend Healthcare Abroad. Chris and his team are fantastic, helpful, caring and so friendly. I will never again sit on a waiting list when I know now all I have to do is lift the phone and have the surgery within weeks in Spain.

The whole service, the drivers were incredible. Even in the evenings Scott was always around to take patients or relatives to the hospital and back or into the town for a meal.

“I was told I would have to wait THREE years in Ireland to see a consultant and I might have to wait another FIVE years. That would have been a wait of 8 years – I called Healthcare Abroad and was sorted in just 8 weeks.

I was pain-free from the moment I had the operation. Even when the medication wore off, I’ve had no pain. Dr Morales is a miracle man. I can’t thank him and the Homecare Abroad Hospital team enough, including Dr van Rijn and Dr Henkel.

“My advice to anyone who has had an operation cancelled is to call Healthcare Abroad. They are the best. I actually got a call from a Dublin hospital while I was in Spain asking me if I wanted to stay on the waiting list. Thankfully I don’t.”

Healthcare Abroad had linked me with an amazing shoulder specialist Dr Alfredo Sánchez Martin and he explained everything to me. It will take a few months to get over the surgery and back to my work as a barber; and hopefully I can get back to sport in around 10 months’ time.
