The most common types of knee surgery in Belgium are: - Total Knee Replacement (TKR) or Partial (unicondylar) Knee Replacement (PKR)- Knee Arthroscopy, and associated treatments (e.g. meniscus resection) - Anterior (or Medial or Posterior) Cruciate Ligament (ACL, MCL or PCL) reconstruction. Length of stay in the Belgian hospital varies from 1 day for a simple knee arthroscopy to 10 days for TKR surgery, including revalidation. For TKR we offer two options:
Pre-operative tests (X-rays, blood tests, etc., depending on the information supplied at enquiry or admission time) and examinations by the surgeon typically take place on the day of the surgery, or the day before. X-rays, CT or MRI scans and/or photographs are always be very useful for assessing your case and determining the exact surgery required. If possible, please send us, copies of scans on CD's or digital pictures of X-rays together with you enquiry. MRI scans can be organised separately or, in order to save on transportation and handling costs, or on the day before surgery. Please indicate your preference in the enquiry. Please contact us to obtain a preliminary price estimate for the surgery of your choice. |
