Your Guide to Orthopedic Surgery in Cancun: Affordable, Accredited, and All-Inclusive

In our last article, we followed the journey of a patient who found life-changing relief from a rotator cuff injury—not by waiting months at home or spending tens of thousands of dollars in the U.S., but by trusting a better-designed medical travel experience in Cancun.

Her story isn’t unique. We’ve seen it across more than 7,000 patients who’ve come to Mexico for one reason: they needed care, and they needed it done right.

And while aesthetic procedures are often what people hear about first, the need for orthopedic surgery—to restore movement, relieve pain, and rebuild independence—is quietly becoming one of the most in-demand medical travel services for Americans and Canadians alike.

Why Orthopedic Patients Are Turning to Cancun

Orthopedic problems don’t just affect joints or bones—they affect quality of life. When you can’t walk without pain, sleep properly, use your hands, or return to work because of mobility limitations, it’s more than discomfort—it’s disruption.

And here’s the truth:

The longer you wait, the more complex your condition becomes—and the longer the recovery will be.

But in the U.S., costs are often out of reach.
In Canada, delays can take months—even years.
In both systems, the patient is left waiting, worrying, or worse: deteriorating.

That’s where Cancun—and specifically, the My Medical Vacations system—steps in with a different approach.

A Full-Service Orthopedic Surgery Experience in Cancun

This isn’t just “cheaper surgery in another country.”

At My Medical Vacations, we’ve created a fully coordinated orthopedic pathway that removes every barrier between a patient and their successful recovery—while delivering exceptional care from start to finish.

Whether you’re suffering from a chronic shoulder issue or an acute sports injury, here’s what you can expect:

✅ 1. Specialized Procedures, Tailored to You

We work with board-certified orthopedic surgeons in Cancun who specialize in:

• Rotator cuff repair and shoulder arthroscopy
• Knee arthroscopy and meniscus repair
• Carpal tunnel surgery and wrist decompression
• Dupuytren’s contracture release (hand/finger surgery)
• Labrum, tendon, and ligament repairs from sports injuries

All procedures are done using minimally invasive techniques when possible, and utilize globally trusted implant brands like Johnson & Johnson, Stryker, Zimmer Biomet, DePuy Synthes, and more.

✅ 2. Accredited Facilities and World-Class Surgeons

We only work with hospitals and surgical centers in Cancun that are:

• Certified by COFEPRIS (Mexico’s equivalent of the FDA)
• Equipped with modern, U.S.-standard operating rooms
• Staffed with bilingual surgeons and anesthesiologists who are members of international medical associations

We personally vet each partner and maintain long-term relationships to ensure consistency, transparency, and accountability.

✅ 3. All-Inclusive Pricing—With No Surprises

Unlike fragmented care systems back home, your price with us includes:

• Pre-op testing and diagnostics
• Surgeon, anesthesiologist, and surgical team fees
• Hospital and OR fees
• Medical-grade implants or hardware
• All medications and post-op supplies
• Airport pickup, ground transportation, and check-ins
• Concierge-level nursing care at your recovery residence
• Support with translation, travel documentation, and follow-up coordination

A typical orthopedic surgery in Cancun through MMV ranges between $6,000–$12,000 USD, depending on the procedure.

That’s less than half the cost of uninsured surgery in the U.S.—and often faster and more personal than public options in Canada.

✅ 4. We Don’t Just Book Surgery—We Create Experiences for Healing

One of the biggest misconceptions we correct is the idea that medical tourism is just a cheaper version of care. That may be true in some cases, but not here.

We’ve designed the entire orthopedic journey with one question in mind:

“If I were in pain, in a foreign country, and preparing for surgery—what would I need to feel safe and supported?”

And that’s exactly what we deliver:

• One-on-one communication before you ever board a plane
• Bilingual nurse support after surgery, right where you’re staying
• A personal concierge for scheduling, errands, medications, and follow-up
• Optional in-destination physiotherapy to accelerate healing before your return home
• Access to your surgeon post-operatively, via video consultation and structured check-ins

This isn’t surgery tourism.
This is serious care, delivered with humanity, planning, and presence.

Who Is Orthopedic Surgery in Cancun Best For?

We’ve guided patients who were:

• Told they’d need to wait 12–18 months in their home country
• Quoted $20,000+ for surgery without insurance
• Living with pain but still managing families, jobs, and businesses
• Athletes recovering from injury but unable to access timely care
• Seniors denied coverage for “non-essential” procedures like carpal tunnel or meniscus surgery

If this sounds like your situation, or someone you care about—you’re not alone. And you do have options.

Real Patient Impact

We recently supported a man from Ontario who suffered a meniscus tear after a fall at work. He was told he’d wait at least 14 months for public surgery—and that private options in Canada would cost over $15,000 CAD.

Instead, he traveled to Cancun.
Within 3 weeks of first contact, he had completed pre-op imaging, had his surgery done with a Stryker implant, and was already walking the hotel halls under supervision with zero complications.

When he left Cancun, he told us:

“This was better than anything I ever imagined. I felt like a person, not a problem.”

That’s what we do.
That’s who we do it for.

This Is Your Window to Heal

If you’re reading this and feeling that familiar mix of frustration, uncertainty, and hope—you’re exactly where so many of our patients once were.

And if there’s one thing we’ve learned from them, it’s this:

Healing doesn’t just come from surgery. It comes from being seen, guided, and cared for through the whole experience.

That’s what we’ve spent years perfecting. That’s the My Medical Vacations difference.
