Ankle fusion, also known as ankle arthrodesis, is a surgical procedure that joins the bones of the ankle into a single piece. It is designed to reduce pain and improve stability for patients with severe arthritis or injury. Thailand is a popular destination for this procedure, offering top-notch medical services, experienced doctors, and affordable prices.
Please note that the prices provided are estimations and may vary based on various factors. Additionally, these prices do not include flights or accommodation.
All prices are in USD.
Ankle fusion is usually recommended for patients with severe ankle arthritis, where conservative treatments have failed. The surgery aims to relieve pain by removing the worn-out joint and fusing the bones together. This does limit the ankle's range of motion, but it also stabilizes the joint and alleviates pain. Patients need to be aware that the recovery process can be long and require a commitment to rehabilitation which would also be the case when opting for a ankle replacement.
Preparation for an ankle fusion procedure involves a comprehensive health assessment, including medical history review and imaging studies. Patients are usually advised to cease taking certain medications prior to surgery and to arrange for assistance at home during the initial recovery phase.
During an ankle fusion, the surgeon removes the damaged joint surfaces and positions the bones to be fused together. Screws, plates, or rods are used to hold the bones in place while they heal. The surgery can be performed through open surgery or a minimally invasive technique known as arthroscopy.
Following surgery, the patient's foot and ankle will be immobilized in a cast or boot to protect the area and promote healing. Physical therapy will typically be part of the recovery process to help regain strength and mobility. Full recovery can take several months, and weight-bearing activities are typically restricted for a significant portion of that period.
The cost of an ankle fusion in Thailand varies but typically ranges from $4,000 to $6,000. Keep in mind, this doesn't include travel and accommodation expenses. The final cost will also depend on the specific medical facility and the details of the procedure.

The cost of an ankle fusion in Thailand can vary, but it generally ranges from $4,000 to $6,000.
Recovery after an ankle fusion can take several months, during which weight-bearing activities are often restricted.
Generally, patients can fly 2-3 weeks after surgery, but this depends on individual recovery and should be confirmed with the surgeon.
It is advisable to plan a stay of at least 2-3 weeks in Thailand to allow for consultation, surgery, and follow-up appointments.
"Whilst searching for information on getting my cataracts done, I found that most websites do not provide sufficient information. I was fortunate enough to find Konkai.Health and connect with Pam.
She and other members of Konkai go far and beyond to do everything possible to give you the best advice.
I highly recommend this company for health related matters whilst you are in Thailand. Real five star assistance."
I made the decision to undergo cosmetic surgery in Bangkok, Thailand due to the high prices in Australia, Unsure about choosing the right hospital and doctors in Thailand, my friend suggested Konkai Medical Tourism Agency, they guided me through everything and their professional team, with strong medical connections in Thailand, made the process smooth.The surgery went well, and I’m very happy with the results.I highly recommend Konkai to anyone considering to come to Thailand for medical treatment 👍
"Konkai helped me with what was becoming a confusing process. After contacting Konkai they quickly found a doctor that specialized in the procedure I requested and helped set up an appointment during my trip to Thailand. I will definitely contact them again if the need arises."
"I live in New Zealand, and my partner and I went on a holiday in Laos (Asia). I became sick and needed an emergency stomach operation. I reached out to this company, and they have been nothing but helpful.
They helped us with translating in Laos; they organised a taxi driver who was waiting for us at arrival and drove us to the hospital, where they organised a scan for me. I only needed to show my passport and an email when I arrived. I was already in the system for the appointment.
Everything went really smoothly. The company is professional and reliable, and the staff is super friendly too. I would highly recommend this company. I am grateful for the great service this company offered when I was in need."
"Thanks for your help things went very smoothly. Your help is essential for easing my anxiety before my trip. Excellent job."
"I can say that the whole medical journey was very pleasant. The information given before the actual start was good. The meeting and intake with the doctor was clear.
Konkai Health was always responding fast and helpful if I came up with questions. And the actual surgery had a good outcome also. Now I just ended my last check-up, and I am very delighted how everything went."
"The customer care at Konkai Health has been great. I was looking at treatment options for my back. They got back to me fast and gave me options to connect with some top doctors and surgeons in Thailand. The doctors assessed my condition, did a video call, and gave me recommendations to fix it. Thank you. I recommend them for anyone interested in medical tourism to Thailand."
"I will say you made it so easy to get everything scheduled. I expected it to take much longer trying to find doctors waiting on responses etc. I was happy with the doctor just going ahead and getting it done on the same day as the first procedure. Everything went well and all the nurses were great. Thanks!"
"Konkai Health's service has truly been outstanding. From providing directions to the hospital, hotel recommendations in there, or simply checking up on how everything has gone. I fully recommend them to anyone wanting to see a doctor in Thailand."
I would like to share my very good experience with konkai.health as I was searching for a clinic for my cataract surgery. Khun Pam Van Wissen organised me in no time all appointments at Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok which has distinguished itself through excellent service. I would like to say thank you to all staff, nurses and especially to Dr. Keerati Pungpapong who all did an absolutely excellent job and I felt from the first moment in best hands. Thank you again Khun Pam from Konkai Health for a great job.
I am very happy with the results. I cannot thank the people at Asia Cosmetic Hospital enough for their help and service while I was in the hospital and my stay at the hotel. I feel fine with very little if any pain and I am bringing my strength back up to before surgery. I know it will take many months for everything to heal but right now I feel strong both physical and mentally.
Thank you Konkai for all the work on your part to bring this all together for me. You don’t know what this means to me.
"Everything went really well the staff were kind and helpful my experience there was very good experience"
" I returned home safe and sound, Thank you for all your help :)"
