Knee osteotomy is a surgical procedure designed to shift weight from an area of the knee damaged by arthritis to a healthier part of the knee. It is an excellent option for younger, active patients who wish to delay the need for knee replacement surgery. Choosing to undergo knee osteotomy in Thailand allows patients to benefit from the country's advanced healthcare system, experienced surgeons, and attractive recovery environments.
Please note that the prices provided are estimations and may vary based on various factors. Additionally, these prices do not include flights or accommodation.

Knee osteotomy involves reshaping the bones to relieve arthritis symptoms. It's mainly recommended for younger patients with arthritis in just one part of the knee. During the procedure, the surgeon removes or adds a wedge of bone to the tibia (shin bone) or femur (thigh bone), which helps shift the body weight away from the damaged part of the knee. While knee osteotomy can provide substantial relief from symptoms, patients must understand that it may eventually need to be followed up with a knee replacement as they grow older or if arthritis progresses.
Preparation for a knee osteotomy typically involves a comprehensive health assessment, including X-rays and other imaging studies. Patients may need to stop taking certain medications and follow specific dietary guidelines before surgery. Physical therapy exercises might be recommended to strengthen the muscles around the knee and improve surgical outcomes.
During the knee osteotomy procedure, the surgeon removes or adds a wedge of bone either below or above the knee joint. The procedure realigns the knee, reducing pain and improving function. This surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 1-2 hours.
Recovery from a knee osteotomy requires time and patience. Immediately after the procedure, the knee is typically immobilized with a brace. Physical therapy is a crucial part of recovery, helping to restore strength and mobility to the knee. Most patients can expect to return to most normal activities within 3 to 6 months. However, high-impact activities may need to be limited even after recovery.
The cost of knee osteotomy in Thailand varies, but it is generally more affordable than in countries like the United States or Australia. On average, patients can expect to pay between $7,000 and $10,000, although prices can vary depending on the hospital and surgeon. Remember, these costs do not include travel and accommodation expenses.

The cost of knee osteotomy in Thailand typically ranges from $7,000 to $10,000, but this can vary depending on the specific hospital and surgeon.
Most patients can return to normal activities within 3 to 6 months after a knee osteotomy. However, high-impact activities may need to be limited even after recovery.
Flying after a major surgical procedure like knee osteotomy should ideally be delayed by at least 7-10 days post-operation to minimize the risk of deep vein thrombosis (blood clots). However, the exact timing should be decided in consultation with the surgeon.
For a knee osteotomy, patients should plan to stay in Thailand for at least 2 weeks. This allows sufficient time for pre-operative consultation, the surgery itself, and the initial recovery period.
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.
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
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 :)
"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."
Pam from Konkai just made the right match for my plastic surgery, not only did it make me safe time, but the chosen doctor was just exceeding my expectations! Thank you so muxh 🙏🏼
I highly recommend their expertise and thankful for having been a patient at Yanhee hospital! …
Konkai Health helped me with my search to find affordable service for my rotary cuff repair. Told them my price range and gave me options for hospitals. Helped with every step of the process from consultation with physician to surgery to after care if needed. I highly recommend if you're an expat or visiting and you need medical services reach out to this organization.
"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."
"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. 🙏♥️🙏
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
