It is designed to reduce pain and improve stability for patients with severe arthritis or injury. Thailand is a popular destination for this procedure, offering top-notch medical services, experienced doctors, and affordable prices.

Understanding Ankle Fusion

Ankle fusion is usually recommended for patients with severe ankle arthritis, where conservative treatments have failed. The surgery aims to relieve pain by removing the worn-out joint and fusing the bones together. This does limit the ankle's range of motion, but it also stabilizes the joint and alleviates pain. Patients need to be aware that the recovery process can be long and require a commitment to rehabilitation which would also be the case when opting for a ankle replacement.

Preparing for Ankle Fusion

Preparation for an ankle fusion procedure involves a comprehensive health assessment, including medical history review and imaging studies. Patients are usually advised to cease taking certain medications prior to surgery and to arrange for assistance at home during the initial recovery phase.

Ankle Fusion Procedure

During an ankle fusion, the surgeon removes the damaged joint surfaces and positions the bones to be fused together. Screws, plates, or rods are used to hold the bones in place while they heal. The surgery can be performed through open surgery or a minimally invasive technique known as arthroscopy.

Ankle Fusion Recovery

Following surgery, the patient's foot and ankle will be immobilized in a cast or boot to protect the area and promote healing. Physical therapy will typically be part of the recovery process to help regain strength and mobility. Full recovery can take several months, and weight-bearing activities are typically restricted for a significant portion of that period.

The Costs of Ankle Fusion

The cost of an ankle fusion in Thailand varies but typically ranges from $4,000 to $6,000. Keep in mind, this doesn't include travel and accommodation expenses. The final cost will also depend on the specific medical facility and the details of the procedure.

Hip Replacement & Health Check Up

Pam and Konkai Health were absolute rock stars in helping us find a fantastic surgeon for my boyfriend's hip replacement in Thailand. We had previously paid for a service to help us find a doctor and it was just throwing money away. The paid service was slow to respond and only offered us quotes for the most expensive hospitals.

Pam on the other hand was a completely free service and was always quick to reply, patient with all of our questions, and presented a variety of options in our price range. She made the entire process of finding a doctor, setting up video conferences, and scheduling the surgery extremely easy. She continued to help us even after the surgery had taken place with follow up visits and final questions we had before traveling back home. We cannot recommend her highly enough!!! We will definitely be using her again for our next surgical needs.

Hip Replacement

Many thanks to Konkai. After an online inquiry Konkai guided me to Praram9 orthopedic for a consultation on a hip injury.  I had the consultation, clearly a femeral head collapse and needing the hip joint replacement.  The beauty was in a half day full consultation, x-ray, ekg, blood work, chest exam ... everything needed to proceed with surgery was done.  

This was so professionally and efficiently done, all questions answered, no consultants, no referrals etc., all in house, all guided around the hospital.  A friendly caring class act. So I then came back to Konkai to setup for the operation, with the same orthopedic team led by Dr. Peerapong that made the assessment.  I returned 2 weeks later, admitted, had the replacement operation stayed 5 days with the hospital team, and quite frankly, it was a privilege to be in their care.  

Now after 10 days recovery in Bangkok i am ready to return home. Why Thailand, well in my country New Zealand, you get passed around to specialists, consultants, it all takes time, does not engender trust, and i think the profit motive is primary like the American system.  Further, there are less facilities so more waiting for slots. Thailand has a care culture, and the expertise and professionalism with Konkai and Praram9 is superb.  They have top quality facilities and capacity to fit your schedule.  

If i ever need any major surgery, this will be my first stop.  Thanks again

Cosmetic Surgery

Outstanding. The most safe, amazing communication these past couple of months with Pam from Konkai health. I asked soooo many questions there must be around 80+ emails from me and every single one has been replied in full. Even now 2 weeks after surgery. Super professional, and the surgeon Dr Thawatchai Boonpadhanapong, at Yanhee Hospital that Pam recommended to me for a breast implant removal, were just incredible. No money deposits asked for…just pure care.

The service and systems at Yanhee were out the gate. I am so glad I travelled all that way and didn’t do it in New Zealand as I don’t think it would’ve been as good haha. I was so looked after by the amazing nurses, anaesthetist, Dr Thawatchai and my interpreter Mr Wing. It’s overwhelming looking for the right fit and if it wasn’t for Konkai Health and Pam I wouldn’t be feeling as happy as I am now 2 weeks after my surgery. I cannot thank you enough for what feels like a life transformation :)

Emergency operation and post-surgery checkup

"I live in New Zealand, and my partner and I went on a holiday in Laos (Asia). I became sick and needed an emergency stomach operation. I reached out to this company, and they have been nothing but helpful.

They helped us with translating in Laos; they organised a taxi driver who was waiting for us at arrival and drove us to the hospital, where they organised a scan for me. I only needed to show my passport and an email when I arrived. I was already in the system for the appointment.

Everything went really smoothly. The company is professional and reliable, and the staff is super friendly too. I would highly recommend this company. I am grateful for the great service this company offered when I was in need."

Cataract Surgery

"I can say that the whole medical journey was very pleasant. The information given before the actual start was good. The meeting and intake with the doctor was clear.

Konkai Health was always responding fast and helpful if I came up with questions. And the actual surgery had a good outcome also. Now I just ended my last check-up, and I am very delighted how everything went."

Was confused as to where to get good Medical Services in Thailand. This company was very responsive and helpful.

They directed me to a very reputable local Hospital where I was treated by a Doctor with great reviews.

Also, the cost for the procedure was very reasonable and a fraction of what it would cost me in the US.

I would highly recommend this company to others. 🙏♥️🙏

Liposuction

I came to Thailand from America for a liposuction in last week. In a Google search, back in May, I came across Konkai Health and decided to reach out to them.For my surgery Pam, recommended Rattinan Clinic out of Bangkok.  Pam was able to connect me with the clinic to set up a consultation.  The process was very easy.I recommend Konkai Health and Rattinan Clinic.  Both are 10/10
