Understanding ACL Reconstruction & Who’s a Candidate

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) stabilizes your knee by preventing the tibia from sliding forward on the femur. Sports injuries and accidents can cause partial or complete tears, leading to pain, swelling, instability and loss of function. ACL reconstruction is a surgical procedure that replaces the torn ligament with a graft—either your own tissue (autograft) or donor tissue (allograft). Modern arthroscopic techniques use small incisions and a camera to precisely position the graft, resulting in less tissue damage and faster recovery. You may be a candidate if:

  • You have an ACL tear causing significant instability or giving‑way episodes.
  • You’re an athlete or active individual wishing to return to pivoting sports or physically demanding work.
  • You’ve tried conservative treatments (bracing and physiotherapy) without improvement.
  • Your knee has damage to other structures (meniscus or cartilage) that requires repair.

All‑Inclusive Packages & Pricing

At Health & Wellness Bazaar, our all‑inclusive ACL reconstruction packages start at $8,000. Each package includes:

  • Detailed pre‑operative evaluation and diagnostic imaging.
  • Surgeon and operating room fees, anesthesia and autograft or allograft materials.
  • In‑patient stay in a private room at an accredited hospital.
  • State‑of‑the‑art arthroscopic equipment and implants.
  • Certified physical therapist–led rehabilitation sessions during your stay and follow‑up.
  • Post‑operative medications, knee brace and take‑home care kit.
  • Airport pickup and private ground transportation in Tijuana.
  • Comfortable recovery accommodation and assistance with errands.
  • 24/7 bilingual patient coordination and on‑call medical support.

Packages provide significant savings compared to U.S. procedures while covering every aspect of your surgical journey. The only additional costs are airfare and optional travel companion expenses.
