Knee Arthroscopy in Cancun: Treating Meniscus Tears and Sports Injuries Without the Wait

By now, you’ve probably seen the stories—like the woman who traveled to Cancun for a procedure that changed more than just her body. Or the patients we’ve helped escape long surgical queues and unaffordable bills for rotator cuff repairs.

But this story is different.

Because for many patients, it’s not about aesthetics. It’s about mobility. It’s about pain. It’s about not being able to do the simplest things without discomfort—like walking the dog, playing with grandchildren, or climbing the stairs.

And few injuries are as frustrating, painful, and common as a meniscus tear or knee joint trauma.

When your knee isn’t right, nothing is.

The Global Problem with Getting Timely Knee Surgery

In the U.S., patients without insurance often face $12,000–$20,000 bills for arthroscopic knee surgery—especially for meniscus repair or cartilage treatment. In Canada, even with public health coverage, the wait times can exceed 12–18 months for non-emergency orthopedic procedures.

During that time, patients:

• Miss work
• Lose mobility
• Struggle mentally and emotionally
• Risk long-term complications from delayed care

That’s why more patients from North America are now turning to Cancun, Mexico—not for vacation, but for real medical answers.

What Is Knee Arthroscopy?

Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat knee joint problems. Through a small camera and tiny incisions, the orthopedic surgeon can assess and treat conditions like:

• Meniscus tears (cartilage damage)
• ACL/PCL sprains or tears
• Cartilage lesions
• Loose bone fragments or debris
• Inflammation of the joint lining (synovitis)
• Patellar tracking issues
• General sports injuries

It’s a low-risk, high-reward procedure when done correctly—often completed in under 90 minutes with a short recovery window.

And in Cancun, we’ve created a full-service model that allows you to get it done without the long wait, without the inflated cost, and without the guesswork.

Why Choose Cancun for Knee Arthroscopy?

Thousands of U.S. and Canadian patients come to Mexico each year for orthopedic procedures. Here’s why they choose My Medical Vacations in Cancun specifically:

✅ 1. Affordable, All-Inclusive Pricing

At home, you’re quoted just the surgeon’s fee—then the hospital bills, anesthesia, implants, and follow-up costs stack up fast.

In Cancun, we offer complete knee arthroscopy packages ranging from $6,500 to $9,500 USD, which includes:

• Surgeon and surgical team fees
• Hospital operating room costs
• Anesthesia and medications
• Pre-op imaging and lab tests
• Top-tier surgical supplies (Johnson & Johnson, Stryker, Biomet)
• Ground transportation, airport pickup
• Concierge medical team and bilingual support
• Optional physical therapy sessions before flying home

There are no hidden fees.
Everything is structured, scheduled, and accounted for—before you even land.

✅ 2. No Waiting Lists, No Referrals, No Delays

Most of our patients receive:

• A confirmed surgical date within 2–4 weeks of contacting us
• Virtual pre-evaluation and imaging guidance
• Pre-op testing upon arrival, with surgery scheduled immediately after

There’s no need to fight for a spot, chase a specialist, or wait for government approval.

We handle everything—personally.

✅ 3. Expert Orthopedic Surgeons, Globally Trusted Implants

You deserve quality. So we only work with:

• Board-certified orthopedic surgeons with decades of experience
• Surgical teams that use Johnson & Johnson (DePuy), Zimmer Biomet, Stryker, and Smith & Nephew implants
• Hospitals and surgical centers certified by COFEPRIS and held to international safety standards

These are not “budget” procedures. They’re world-class surgeries—delivered efficiently, affordably, and with personalized care.

✅ 4. Recovery Designed for Real People, Not Tourists

Cancun offers the peace of a destination—but we never forget: you’re not here for a holiday. You’re here to heal.

That’s why our team delivers recovery support that makes patients feel safe, calm, and guided, including:

• Licensed bilingual nurses at your recovery home
• Post-op follow-up by your surgeon before you travel back
• Help with airline paperwork and documentation
• Video check-ins and structured post-operative follow-up for up to 3 months
• Coordination of physiotherapy in Cancun or with your provider back home

We take care of the surgery—and everything that surrounds it.

Who Is This For?

We’ve helped:

• Athletes recovering from soccer, CrossFit, or skiing injuries
• Construction workers and trade professionals with long-term meniscus damage
• Seniors trying to avoid early joint replacement
• Adults in their 40s–60s who are active but limited by pain

Many of these patients had already tried:

• Cortisone injections
• Physical therapy
• Painkillers
• Waitlists

But what they really needed was a skilled surgical team, a fast timeline, and a plan that didn’t leave them bankrupt or stuck in limbo.

Real Patient Experience

A patient from Alberta reached out after six months on a waitlist for knee arthroscopy. The pain had become so bad, he couldn’t walk his dog or get through a grocery trip.

Within three weeks of contacting MMV:

• He had a confirmed diagnosis
• Flew to Cancun for surgery
• Stayed in our recovery home under nurse supervision
• Returned home walking unassisted—with no complications

He told us:

“I thought I’d have to fly halfway across the world. Turns out, the best solution was two hours away—and more organized than anything I’ve seen at home.”

You Don’t Have to Wait to Walk Again

Mobility is quality of life. And the longer you delay surgery, the longer the damage sets in—and the harder recovery becomes.

If you’ve been told to wait, or quoted a price that feels impossible—you have options.

We’ve helped thousands reclaim their health, their movement, and their peace of mind.

We’d be honored to help you do the same.
