Ankle replacement surgery, also known as total ankle arthroplasty, is a procedure to replace a damaged ankle joint with artificial parts. The goal is to relieve pain and maintain or improve ankle motion for patients suffering from debilitating ankle arthritis. Thailand has become a go-to destination for this procedure, boasting top-tier medical facilities, expert surgeons, and highly competitive prices.
Please note that the prices provided are estimations and may vary based on various factors. Additionally, these prices do not include flights or accommodation.
All prices are in USD.
Total ankle replacement is often recommended for patients with severe ankle arthritis that significantly affects their quality of life and has not responded well to conservative treatments. During the surgery, the worn-out or damaged areas of the ankle joint are removed and replaced with an artificial joint. Patients must be aware that while the procedure can drastically improve quality of life, it comes with potential risks, including infection, blood clots, and the potential need for future revision surgery.
Preparation for an ankle replacement procedure involves a thorough health assessment, including a review of the patient's medical history and various imaging studies. Patients may need to cease certain medications before surgery, and it's essential to arrange for support at home during the initial recovery phase.
During an ankle replacement surgery, the surgeon removes the damaged joint surfaces and replaces them with artificial components made from metal and plastic. The new joint is designed to simulate the movement of a healthy ankle. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia.
Following surgery, a patient's foot and ankle are typically immobilized in a cast or boot to protect the joint and promote healing. Physical therapy is a crucial part of the recovery process to help regain strength and improve mobility. Full recovery can take several months, and patients are typically able to start walking with support within a few weeks of surgery.
The cost of an ankle replacement surgery in Thailand typically ranges from $10,000 to $15,000. Remember, this does not include travel and accommodation expenses. The final cost will also depend on the specific medical facility and the details of the patient's procedure.

"Whilst searching for information on getting my cataracts done, I found that most websites do not provide sufficient information. I was fortunate enough to find Konkai.Health and connect with Pam.
She and other members of Konkai go far and beyond to do everything possible to give you the best advice.
I highly recommend this company for health related matters whilst you are in Thailand. Real five star assistance."
I made the decision to undergo cosmetic surgery in Bangkok, Thailand due to the high prices in Australia, Unsure about choosing the right hospital and doctors in Thailand, my friend suggested Konkai Medical Tourism Agency, they guided me through everything and their professional team, with strong medical connections in Thailand, made the process smooth.The surgery went well, and I’m very happy with the results.I highly recommend Konkai to anyone considering to come to Thailand for medical treatment 👍
"Konkai helped me with what was becoming a confusing process. After contacting Konkai they quickly found a doctor that specialized in the procedure I requested and helped set up an appointment during my trip to Thailand. I will definitely contact them again if the need arises."
"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."
"Thanks for your help things went very smoothly. Your help is essential for easing my anxiety before my trip. Excellent job."
"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."
"The customer care at Konkai Health has been great. I was looking at treatment options for my back. They got back to me fast and gave me options to connect with some top doctors and surgeons in Thailand. The doctors assessed my condition, did a video call, and gave me recommendations to fix it. Thank you. I recommend them for anyone interested in medical tourism to Thailand."
"I will say you made it so easy to get everything scheduled. I expected it to take much longer trying to find doctors waiting on responses etc. I was happy with the doctor just going ahead and getting it done on the same day as the first procedure. Everything went well and all the nurses were great. Thanks!"
"Konkai Health's service has truly been outstanding. From providing directions to the hospital, hotel recommendations in there, or simply checking up on how everything has gone. I fully recommend them to anyone wanting to see a doctor in Thailand."
I would like to share my very good experience with konkai.health as I was searching for a clinic for my cataract surgery. Khun Pam Van Wissen organised me in no time all appointments at Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok which has distinguished itself through excellent service. I would like to say thank you to all staff, nurses and especially to Dr. Keerati Pungpapong who all did an absolutely excellent job and I felt from the first moment in best hands. Thank you again Khun Pam from Konkai Health for a great job.

Konkai is an awesome team that’s 100% determined to helping the patient going an extra mile. This exactly has been my experience.
From the hotel booking to taking appointments with the top level doctors in the hospital that’s most favorable to patient. Which was with me and my wife.
My experience further with Konkai was even to the extent of coordinating financial matters when there was an urgency. My wife and I cannot express with my words enough for the awesome services discharged by Konkai.
Post surgery the follow up and support to patient is amazing beyond explanation. It’s more than 8 weeks after my surgery and their regular touch for feed backs and follow up constantly checking as to how things are going? This is not a normal thing in the medical field. Anyone can blindly trust Konkai and be a member of their family.
Thank you
"Everything went really well the staff were kind and helpful my experience there was very good experience"
" I returned home safe and sound, Thank you for all your help :)"
