According to the CDC, arthritis is the leading cause of disability in the United States. Yet for the millions of Americans who are uninsured, underinsured, or facing long waitlists, joint replacement can feel out of reach — even as the pain becomes unbearable.
Our partner orthopedic hospitals in India and Türkiye use the same implant brands as U.S. hospitals — Zimmer Biomet, Stryker, DePuy Synthes — at 75–85% lower cost, with no waitlists, English-speaking surgical teams, and internationally accredited facilities.

From total joint replacements to minimally invasive arthroscopy — our partner centers offer the complete spectrum of modern orthopedic care.
Complete resurfacing of the knee joint using internationally certified implants (Zimmer, Stryker, DePuy). Computer-assisted and robotic-arm-assisted options available at select centers.
Damaged hip joint replaced with a prosthetic implant — restoring mobility and eliminating chronic pain. Both cemented and cementless techniques available.
Unicompartmental knee replacement targeting only the damaged compartment — shorter recovery and more natural feel for appropriate candidates.
Bone-conserving alternative to total hip replacement — ideal for younger, active patients where preserving bone stock is a priority.
Total and reverse shoulder replacement for advanced arthritis, rotator cuff arthropathy, and complex fractures — restoring full arm function.
Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using autograft or allograft — minimally invasive, with a structured post-operative physiotherapy program from day one.
Minimally invasive camera-guided surgery for meniscus tears, labral repairs, cartilage damage, and loose body removal — day surgery with rapid recovery.
Advanced techniques including microfracture, OATS (osteochondral autograft), and ACI (autologous chondrocyte implantation) for cartilage repair in younger patients.
