Mobility

Regain Mobility with Orthopedic Surgery in Cancun

Introduction: Your Movement, Your Freedom

Mobility isn’t just about walking—it’s about living. Whether it’s climbing stairs, returning to sports, or simply waking up pain-free, our ability to move shapes our independence, confidence, and quality of life.

But in many countries, access to orthopedic surgery is delayed by long waitlists, high costs, and limited options. That’s why more patients in 2025 are traveling to Cancun for orthopedic surgery—where expert care, certified surgeons, and full-service coordination make it possible to recover your mobility sooner, safely, and affordably.

At My Medical Vacations, we specialize in orthopedic medical tourism, providing international patients with world-class surgical solutions, all-inclusive recovery, and a clear path to walking strong again.

Why Choose Cancun for Orthopedic Surgery?

1. World-Class Surgeons Trained in Joint & Spine Excellence

Mexico is home to fellowship-trained orthopedic specialists, many of whom have studied or practiced in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. In Cancun, our partner orthopedic surgeons specialize in:

  • Joint replacements (hip, knee, shoulder)
  • Minimally invasive arthroscopy
  • Spine surgeries for disc and nerve decompression
  • Sports injury repair
  • Trauma and complex fracture treatment

All surgeries are performed in fully accredited surgical hospitals, using advanced implants and techniques on par with top global centers.

2. Affordable Care Without Compromise

Orthopedic procedures are notoriously expensive—and in many countries, even those with public healthcare, patients wait months or years to get treatment. In Mexico, you can receive care within weeks, with full transparency and significant savings.

Procedure U.S./Canada Average Cancun (MMV) Average
Total Knee Replacement $35,000–$50,000 $12,000–$14,500
Hip Replacement $40,000+ $13,000–$15,000
Arthroscopic Surgery $15,000–$25,000 $4,500–$7,500

All-inclusive packages cover surgeon fees, hospital stay, implants, diagnostics, post-op care, lodging, and transportation.

Recovery in Paradise: Why It Works

Orthopedic recovery is physical and emotional. Cancun provides a healing setting that supports both:

  • Private, ADA-accessible accommodations
  • In-room rehab sessions and mobility coaching
  • Peaceful surroundings to reduce stress and inflammation
  • Optional recovery excursions (doctor-approved), like cultural walks or gentle boat tours

Patients often recover better and faster when surrounded by beauty and tranquility.

Is Orthopedic Surgery in Mexico Safe?

Yes—when done with accredited providers.

At My Medical Vacations, your safety is our top priority:

  • Surgeries performed in certified surgical hospitals with ICU access
  • Pre-op medical clearance with labs, imaging, and EKG
  • Sterile surgical environments and advanced monitoring
  • 24/7 on-call medical team for emergencies

All implants and materials are FDA- or CE-approved, and aftercare is managed by bilingual nurses trained in orthopedic protocols.

Who Should Consider Orthopedic Surgery Abroad?

Orthopedic medical travel is ideal if you:

  • Have joint pain that limits mobility or sleep
  • Face long waitlists or unaffordable prices at home
  • Need a second opinion from a global specialist
  • Prefer a private, personalized surgical experience
  • Want a team to manage every logistical detail
