Rotator Cuff Surgery in Cancun | My Medical Vacations

In our recent series, we shared the journey of a woman who came to Cancun for a rejuvenating procedure—unsure, skeptical, even afraid.
What changed everything for her wasn’t just the surgery. It was the care, the structure, and the trust she built with a team that saw her as a person—not a case number.

We’ve seen the same transformation in thousands of others—not just in cosmetic procedures, but in life-changing orthopedic surgeries that restore freedom, relieve pain, and give people their lives back.

And among the most common, most needed procedures we coordinate?

Rotator cuff repair.

The Problem No One Talks About

Shoulder pain affects millions of people across the U.S. and Canada. Whether it’s caused by work, age, repetitive movement, or a sudden injury, a torn or damaged rotator cuff can make even the simplest tasks—lifting a cup, reaching for your seatbelt, sleeping on your side—unbearable.

But here’s the problem:
In many cases, getting treatment at home is either:

Prohibitively expensive, or
Delayed for months, even years, due to long waiting lists

We’ve helped patients who were told:

They’d need to pay $18,000–$25,000 USD out-of-pocket
They weren’t a “priority case” under public insurance
Their insurance only covered partial fees (surgeon only—not hospital, anesthesia, or implants)

These aren’t rare stories. They’re the norm.

And that’s exactly why so many are now turning to Cancun—not just for beach vacations, but for world-class orthopedic care at a fraction of the cost.

So, What Is Rotator Cuff Surgery?

Rotator cuff surgery is typically performed to repair torn tendons in the shoulder. Depending on the damage, the procedure may involve:

Arthroscopic repair (minimally invasive, using small incisions and a camera)
Debridement or tendon trimming
Reattachment of tendon to bone with medical anchors
Subacromial decompression (to relieve pressure in the shoulder joint)

The goal?
To restore strength, relieve pain, and get you back to your daily life—without constant discomfort or limited mobility.

Why Patients Are Choosing Cancun for Rotator Cuff Repair

Thousands of patients from the U.S. and Canada are now traveling to Cancun for orthopedic procedures—and here’s why:

✅ 1. The Price Isn’t Just Better—It’s Transparent

In Cancun, a rotator cuff surgery with arthroscopy, top-tier implants, and full hospital stay typically ranges between $8,000 to $12,000 USD—all-inclusive.

Compare that to:

USA (no insurance): $18,000–$25,000 USD (Fair Health Consumer estimates)
Canada (private surgery): $14,000–$22,000 CAD out-of-pocket, often with long delays

Our pricing includes:

Surgeon and anesthesiologist fees
Hospital fees and operating room time
Brand-name prosthetics and anchors from Stryker, DePuy Synthes (Johnson & Johnson), Zimmer Biomet, or Smith & Nephew
Bilingual medical coordination team
Pre-op testing, transportation, follow-up, and recovery support

No hidden fees. No surprises. Just everything you need, already organized.

✅ 2. No Waiting Lists, No Bureaucracy

In the public healthcare systems of Canada or through overburdened U.S. providers, patients often wait months for imaging, diagnostics, or surgical scheduling.

In contrast, with My Medical Vacations, most of our orthopedic patients:

Receive a surgery date within 2–4 weeks of first contact
Complete pre-op testing within 24–48 hours of arrival
Undergo surgery and begin recovery in the same week

We make it happen—because waiting with pain isn’t a solution.

✅ 3. All-Inclusive Recovery Support, Designed for Patients—Not Tourists

You’re not coming to Cancun for sightseeing. You’re coming to heal. And we’ve built our services around that truth.

From the moment you land, you’re supported by a team that:

Picks you up at the airport
Escorts you to your consultation and pre-op appointments
Guides you through every test, every medication, every post-op need
Houses you in a nurse-supported recovery home, with personalized assistance
Schedules and coordinates physiotherapy (if needed) before you return home
Helps prepare airline travel documents, translation, and follow-up calls

This is not a “surgery vacation.” It’s structured, attentive medical care in motion—designed specifically for your safety and peace of mind.

Real Outcomes. Real Recovery.

Our patients often say the same thing:

“I didn’t just get a cheaper surgery. I got better care than I’ve ever had.”

And they’re right.

Because we’ve built a system that doesn’t treat you like a number. We treat you like someone who deserves:

Clear answers
Fast timelines
A professional, compassionate experience
And most importantly—a second chance at a pain-free life

A Note for Canadians

We’re seeing more Canadians than ever before.

Why? Because while many have trusted the public system for years, recent backlogs, staffing shortages, and geopolitical shifts have left thousands waiting too long for essential surgeries.

Mexico has become a preferred destination—not because it’s cheaper (although it is), but because it’s faster, safer, and more personalized than the system can currently offer.

You Deserve to Move Again

Rotator cuff injuries affect your sleep, your work, your independence. And the longer you wait, the harder the recovery becomes.

If you’re facing delays, high costs, or limited options in your country—we want you to know:

There is another way.
