Knee osteotomy is a surgical procedure designed to shift weight from an area of the knee damaged by arthritis to a healthier part of the knee. It is an excellent option for younger, active patients who wish to delay the need for knee replacement surgery. Choosing to undergo knee osteotomy in Thailand allows patients to benefit from the country's advanced healthcare system, experienced surgeons, and attractive recovery environments.

Knee osteotomy involves reshaping the bones to relieve arthritis symptoms. It's mainly recommended for younger patients with arthritis in just one part of the knee. During the procedure, the surgeon removes or adds a wedge of bone to the tibia (shin bone) or femur (thigh bone), which helps shift the body weight away from the damaged part of the knee. While knee osteotomy can provide substantial relief from symptoms, patients must understand that it may eventually need to be followed up with a knee replacement as they grow older or if arthritis progresses.
Preparation for a knee osteotomy typically involves a comprehensive health assessment, including X-rays and other imaging studies. Patients may need to stop taking certain medications and follow specific dietary guidelines before surgery. Physical therapy exercises might be recommended to strengthen the muscles around the knee and improve surgical outcomes.
During the knee osteotomy procedure, the surgeon removes or adds a wedge of bone either below or above the knee joint. The procedure realigns the knee, reducing pain and improving function. This surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 1-2 hours.
Recovery from a knee osteotomy requires time and patience. Immediately after the procedure, the knee is typically immobilized with a brace. Physical therapy is a crucial part of recovery, helping to restore strength and mobility to the knee. Most patients can expect to return to most normal activities within 3 to 6 months. However, high-impact activities may need to be limited even after recovery.
The cost of knee osteotomy in Thailand varies, but it is generally more affordable than in countries like the United States or Australia. On average, patients can expect to pay between $7,000 and $10,000, although prices can vary depending on the hospital and surgeon. Remember, these costs do not include travel and accommodation expenses.

The cost of knee osteotomy in Thailand typically ranges from $7,000 to $10,000, but this can vary depending on the specific hospital and surgeon.
Most patients can return to normal activities within 3 to 6 months after a knee osteotomy. However, high-impact activities may need to be limited even after recovery.
Flying after a major surgical procedure like knee osteotomy should ideally be delayed by at least 7-10 days post-operation to minimize the risk of deep vein thrombosis (blood clots). However, the exact timing should be decided in consultation with the surgeon.
For a knee osteotomy, patients should plan to stay in Thailand for at least 2 weeks. This allows sufficient time for pre-operative consultation, the surgery itself, and the initial recovery period.
"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 :)"
