Knee and Hip Replacement in Thailand- A Simple Guide for Patients Looking for Relief

If you’re living with constant knee or hip pain, you know how hard even the small things can be, like walking to the kitchen, getting out of bed, or going for a short stroll. Maybe you’ve tried medicine, therapy, or exercise, but nothing seems to work anymore. When pain takes control of your life, it might be time to think about knee or hip replacement surgery. The good news is that many people just like you are finding relief and getting their mobility back. And one of the best places in the world to have this surgery is Thailand. At Livonta Global, we’re here to guide you through it all, before, during, and after your treatment, so you can focus on healing, not the hassle.

Why People Choose Thailand for Joint Replacement

Thailand has become a top choice for patients from around the world because:
  • Doctors are highly experienced, many trained in the US or Europe
  • Hospitals are modern, clean, and well-equipped
  • Treatment is much more affordable than in the US, UK, or other Western countries
  • No long waiting times, you can get surgery quickly
  • English-speaking staff make communication easy
  • Warm, friendly environment that helps with healing

When Do You Need a Knee & Hip Replacement?

Doctors usually recommend joint replacement if:
  • You have long-term pain in your knee or hip that’s getting worse
  • Walking, climbing stairs, or standing for too long is difficult
  • You’ve tried medicines and therapy, but nothing helps
  • The pain keeps you awake or stops you from doing normal activities
If that sounds familiar, surgery might be the right step.

Types of Knee & Hip Replacement Surgeries Available

Knee replacement:
  • Total knee replacement (entire joint replaced)
  • Partial knee replacement (only the damaged part)
  • Minimally invasive or robotic surgery for faster recovery
Hip replacement:
  • Total hip replacement (ball and socket replaced)
  • Hip resurfacing (bone-preserving option, often for younger patients)
  • Small-incision surgery for less pain and quicker healing

How Long Does the Whole Process of Knee & Hip Replacement Take?

From start to finish, your stay in Thailand may be around 2 to 3 weeks. Here’s a simple breakdown:
  1. First few days: You meet the doctor, get tests done, and prepare for surgery
  2. Surgery day: The operation usually lasts 2 to 3 hours
  3. Hospital stay: Around 4 to 7 days, depending on how you’re doing
  4. Recovery time: After discharge, you may need 7 to 10 days of rest and physiotherapy
  5. Follow-ups: The doctor will check your healing before you fly back home
Most people walk with help (like a walker or cane) within a day or two after surgery. In about a month, you’ll feel stronger and more confident in your movement.

What About Recovery and Care After the Knee & Hip Replacement?

After surgery, you’ll get care every step of the way:
  • Daily physiotherapy to help you move better
  • Pain management and medication support
  • Diet and lifestyle advice
  • Private, clean rooms for your comfort
  • A peaceful recovery setting, sometimes even in a resort-like environment
You’ll never feel alone in the process.

Are There Any Risks?

Like any surgery, there can be small risks such as:
  • Infection (very rare in top hospitals)
  • Blood clots
  • Mild swelling or stiffness
  • The artificial joint may wear out over many years
But Thailand’s hospitals follow strict safety standards, and doctors are well-trained to handle everything carefully.

What Does It Cost for Knee & Hip Replacement?

Prices are much lower than in the West. On average:
  • Knee replacement costs between 7,000 to 11,000 US dollars
  • Hip replacement costs between 8,000 to 12,000 US dollars
This includes your hospital stay, doctor fees, physiotherapy, and all medical care.
