Only a qualified orthopedic surgeon can decide this after reviewing your imaging, symptoms and medical history. Our platform helps you reach the right specialists and prepare your records.

How long should I stay abroad after surgery?

Most hospitals recommend staying 10–14 days so the surgical team can check wound healing and start physiotherapy before you fly.
