Procedures like hip and knee replacements are quite costly in the United States and in countries with public healthcare systems often subject to long waiting lists in public healthcare systems. Popular procedurs includ hip and knee replacement as well as spinal surgery. People gravitate in Europe toward Czechia/Czech Republic and Poland and in Asia toward India and Thailand (which is especially popular for sports injuries and orthopedic rehab centers). And patients stand to save 60 to 80 percent in some cases; whereas replacing a knee or hip might set you back US$30,000 to more than $40,000 in the USA, United Kingdom, and a bit less in Western Europe, in India they´re available for $5,000 to $8,000, and elsewhere for $6,000-$11,000.
