Meniscus repair is a surgical procedure aimed at fixing a torn knee cartilage. The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of tough, rubbery cartilage that acts as a shock absorber between your shinbone and thighbone. It can be torn if you suddenly twist your knee while bearing weight on it. Opting for meniscus repair in Thailand can be an excellent decision, given the country's state-of-the-art medical facilities, experienced orthopedic surgeons, and the serene recovery environments it offers.
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, unless otherwise indicated.
Meniscus repair is specifically aimed at mending the torn cartilage in the knee. The type of tear, its size, and location will influence whether a tear can be repaired or if the damaged section needs to be removed. Not all meniscus tears are suitable for repair. Those that occur on the outer edge (red zone), where better blood flow aids healing, are more likely to be repairable than those in tahe inner two-thirds (white zone) of the meniscus. The procedure is recommended to patients to alleviate pain, optimize knee function, and prevent complications like early-onset arthritis.
Preparations for a meniscus repair typically include a thorough medical evaluation, which may involve MRI scans to get a detailed image of the tear. Patients might be asked to cease certain medications and adopt specific dietary restrictions in the lead-up to the surgery. Physiotherapy may also be prescribed pre-operatively to strengthen surrounding muscles and promote a quicker post-operative recovery.
The surgery is typically done arthroscopically, using a camera to visualize the inside of the knee and small instruments to conduct the repair. The surgeon makes tiny incisions and inserts the arthroscope, then either stitches the tear together or trims away the damaged area, depending on the nature and location of the tear. The procedure is relatively short, often taking less than an hour.
Post-operative recovery varies depending on whether the meniscus was repaired or a portion was removed. If repaired, the knee might be immobilized for several weeks to protect the stitching. Physical therapy is essential, focusing on regaining strength and mobility. Most patients can expect to resume daily activities within 6-8 weeks, but sports or rigorous activities might be off the table for 3-4 months.
Undergoing meniscus repair in Thailand can be cost-effective. The procedure typically ranges from $3,500 to $6,500, though this can vary based on the hospital and surgeon's experience. It's essential to remember that these figures don't account for travel and accommodation expenses.

Meniscus repair in Thailand typically costs between $3,500 to $6,500, depending on the specific hospital and the surgeon's expertise.
Recovery time can vary. If the meniscus is stitched together, expect 3-4 months before returning to sports. For less invasive trims, you may be back in action in 6-8 weeks.
Generally, waiting 7-10 days post-operation before flying is advised to minimize risks like deep vein thrombosis. Always consult with your surgeon before making travel plans.
For a procedure like meniscus repair, planning a stay of at least 10 days to 2 weeks in Thailand would be prudent. This allows for pre-surgery consultations, the operation itself, and immediate post-op care.
We are clients from Australia and we could not recommend Konkai health any more!
We are so pleased with the level of service from Pam in helping us organise a surgery for my husband which took place in Thailand.
We had to change a few appointments here and there (life happened on our end) and Pam was all too willing to help with no problems.
Pam helped me find both a doctor and a surgical team for my heart surgery during a time when I was struggling to get any responses from the hospitals I contacted directly. She located everything I needed and was invaluable in overcoming language barriers. I highly recommend her assistance!
I am extremely happy with the service provided by this page. It made it so easy for me to find and appoint doctors for my children and wife. The process was smooth, fast, and hassle-free. The interface was user-friendly, and I felt assured knowing I could get the best care for my family quickly. I highly recommend this service to anyone looking for a reliable way to book medical appointments. Thank you!
"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."
"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!"
