Elbow replacement surgery, or elbow arthroplasty, involves replacing the worn-out or damaged parts of the elbow joint with artificial components. Candidates for this surgery often suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis. The procedure aims to provide pain relief and restore the elbow's natural movement. Thai medical facilities stand out in this arena, adopting cutting-edge techniques and using the latest in prosthetic joint technology. Their approach ensures reduced complications and enhanced post-operative outcomes.
Before undergoing elbow replacement in Thailand, patients might be advised to undergo a series of diagnostic tests, including X-rays and blood tests. Lifestyle changes, like a balanced diet and cessation of smoking, could be recommended to optimize surgical outcomes. When selecting a Thai medical facility or surgeon, international clients should focus on the institution's reputation, surgeon's experience, and the ability of the staff to communicate in multiple languages, ensuring a seamless experience.
During an elbow replacement, the surgeon makes an incision at the back of the elbow, removing the damaged joint surfaces and replacing them with a prosthetic joint usually made of metal and high-quality plastic. The surgery typically lasts 1-2 hours. Post-operatively, patients might experience mild discomfort, which is effectively managed with pain medication. The majority of patients remain in Thailand for 1-2 weeks post-surgery, allowing for initial recovery and post-operative check-ups. The recovery process involves physical therapy, aimed at restoring strength and flexibility to the joint. Adherence to the therapy regimen ensures optimal results, and while complications are rare, it's crucial to remain observant for signs of infection or prosthetic issues.
Undergoing an elbow replacement in Thailand typically ranges between $6,500 to $9,000. Factors influencing this cost include the choice of medical facility, the expertise of the surgeon, and the specific technique used. It's essential to note that this price often covers necessary overnight hospital stays after the procedure. However, international patients should be aware that this estimate does not include expenses for flights and accommodation.

We are clients from Australia and we could not recommend Konkai health any more!
We are so pleased with the level of service from Pam in helping us organise a surgery for my husband which took place in Thailand.
We had to change a few appointments here and there (life happened on our end) and Pam was all too willing to help with no problems.
Pam helped me find both a doctor and a surgical team for my heart surgery during a time when I was struggling to get any responses from the hospitals I contacted directly. She located everything I needed and was invaluable in overcoming language barriers. I highly recommend her assistance!
I am extremely happy with the service provided by this page. It made it so easy for me to find and appoint doctors for my children and wife. The process was smooth, fast, and hassle-free. The interface was user-friendly, and I felt assured knowing I could get the best care for my family quickly. I highly recommend this service to anyone looking for a reliable way to book medical appointments. Thank you!
"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."
"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!"
