Frequently Asked Questions
What types of orthopedic conditions are treated at Andalusia Health Group?
We treat a comprehensive range of musculoskeletal conditions, including degenerative joint diseases like osteoarthritis, sports injuries (e.g., ACL tears, rotator cuff tears), spinal disorders (herniated discs, stenosis), fractures, and other traumatic injuries. Our expertise covers everything from conservative management to complex reconstructive surgery.
How do I know if I am a candidate for joint replacement surgery?
Candidacy is determined through a thorough evaluation by our orthopedic specialists. This includes a physical examination, a review of your medical history, and advanced imaging like X-rays or MRI. Generally, candidates are individuals with significant joint pain and loss of function that has not responded to conservative treatments like medication or physical therapy.
What is the typical recovery time for a knee arthroscopy?
Recovery varies based on the specific procedure performed, but because arthroscopy is minimally invasive, it is significantly faster than open surgery. Most patients can walk without crutches within one to two weeks and can often return to most normal activities within four to six weeks. A structured physical therapy program is crucial for optimal recovery.
Does the hospital assist international patients with travel and accommodation?
Absolutely. Our dedicated International Patients Team provides comprehensive support, including visa assistance, airport transfers, and arranging accommodation near the hospital for you and your family. We strive to make your medical journey as smooth and stress-free as possible.
What kind of post-operative support is available?
We offer a complete continuum of post-operative care, including 24/7 monitoring in our recovery units, pain management protocols, and personalized rehabilitation programs.
