Hip and Knee Replacement Tunisia – Regain your Mobility
Hip and Knee Replacement Tunisia: Regain your Mobility Living with a worn hip or knee often means giving up simple everyday movements. Orthopaedic surgery in Tunisia, performed by specialists trained in recent techniques, lets you regain your mobility for a budget far lower than in Europe. What Is a Joint Replacement? It is the surgical replacement of a worn joint — hip or knee — with an artificial implant made of metal, ceramic or polyethylene, which restores mobility and relieves the pain caused by osteoarthritis. Are You a Good Candidate? This procedure is for people suffering from severe osteoarthritis of the hip or knee, chronic pain that resists standard treatments, disabling loss of mobility in daily life, or for whom injections and physiotherapy no longer work. How Does the Procedure Go? Depending on the case, the surgeon operates through a minimally invasive approach, under general or spinal anaesthesia. The procedure takes between 1h30 and 2h, followed by a hospital stay of 3 to 5 nights depending on the joint concerned and the patient's profile. The Complete Process A pre-operative assessment (imaging, blood tests, anaesthesia consultation) precedes the procedure. Getting up and the first rehabilitation steps take place the very next day, with daily physiotherapy sessions during the hospital stay. To include solid initial rehabilitation before returning home, a stay of 15 to 18 days is recommended. What Budget Should You Plan? A hip replacement starts at around €4500 in Tunisia, compared with €12000 to €15000 in France — a saving of around 65%. A knee replacement starts at €4800. These prices include the complete assessment, the orthopaedic surgeon, the CE-certified implant, the hospital stay, initial physiotherapy and accommodation for your companion. What about Rehabilitation? Physiotherapy starts on site during your stay, and you are given a written protocol to continue it at home with a local physiotherapist. Walking is resumed gradually, always supervised by the medical team. A Question about this Treatment?
