Knee Arthroscopy in Mexico: Immediate Relief for Canadians with Meniscus Injuries

In Canada, a meniscus tear or cartilage injury used to mean minor surgery and quick recovery. But for thousands of patients today, it now means this:

“You’ve got a confirmed injury… we’ll call you in 12 to 18 months.”

Across Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, and other provinces, patients are facing extreme wait times—even for procedures as routine as a knee arthroscopy. That means living with constant pain, reduced mobility, and the fear that a minor problem will become a major one.

But there’s a better, faster option that more Canadians are now choosing:
✅ Safe, affordable arthroscopic knee surgery in Mexico, coordinated entirely by My Medical Vacations.

What Is Knee Arthroscopy?

Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a tiny camera and tools to:

• Repair or trim torn meniscus cartilage
• Smooth damaged joint surfaces
• Remove loose bone or tissue fragments
• Clean out inflammation from arthritis or injury

It’s often recommended for:

• Athletes with sports-related tears
• Seniors with minor cartilage damage
• Anyone suffering knee pain that limits daily movement

Recovery is fast, and most patients walk the same day.
So why are Canadian patients still waiting over a year?

The Canadian Problem: Delayed Treatment, Bigger Problems

A meniscus tear shouldn’t derail your life. But in the Canadian public system:

• Wait times can reach 12–18 months, even for out-patient arthroscopy
• MRIs and orthopedic consults are also backlogged
• Minor injuries are often deprioritized—even when pain is severe
• Extended wait times can lead to further joint damage or arthritis

Many patients feel stuck in a system that’s no longer responsive to their needs.

Why Canadians Are Now Choosing Mexico

Private care in Canada or the U.S. can cost $10,000–$15,000 or more—and it’s often not covered.
But in Cancún, My Medical Vacations offers the same advanced surgical care for a fraction of the cost, and with no delay.
