Why Choose Tijuana for Knee Arthroplasty?

  • Significant Cost Savings. Knee replacement packages in Tijuana start at $16 500 USD and include consultations, the procedure and post‑operative care.  In comparison, knee arthroplasty in the U.S. starts at around $30 000 USD, often excluding many of the services included in Tijuana’s all‑inclusive packages.  By choosing Mexico, you can save up to 45%, making surgery accessible for uninsured or underinsured patients.
  • Proximity & Comfort. Tijuana is just a short drive from San Diego, offering easy access for American and Canadian patients. English‑speaking coordinators guide you at every step, and your recovery suite provides nutritious meals and 24/7 nursing care for a smooth and comfortable healing process.

For example, Dr. Eliseo Mora, founder of the Baja Orthopaedic Institute, has over 30 years of expertise in knee replacement surgery and maintains a 0% infection rate thanks to meticulous surgical protocols.  Many of our surgeons trained or practiced in the U.S. and incorporate advanced regenerative treatments such as PRP and stem cell therapy to speed recovery.

Understanding Knee Replacement Surgery & Candidacy

A knee replacement, or knee arthroplasty, involves removing damaged cartilage and bone from the knee joint and replacing it with a prosthetic implant. The procedure can be partial or total, depending on the severity of joint damage. Candidates include individuals who:

  • Experience chronic knee pain due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or injury.
  • Have limited mobility despite non‑surgical treatments such as physical therapy, medications or injections.
  • Suffer from stiff or swollen joints that interfere with daily activities.
  • Are in generally good health and free from uncontrolled medical conditions.

Your surgeon will review your imaging, medical history and lifestyle to determine whether a full, partial or complex revision knee replacement is appropriate.  Minimally invasive techniques and computer‑assisted navigation help ensure precise alignment and quicker recovery.

Packages & Pricing

At $16 500 USD, our knee replacement package in Mexico includes everything you need for a stress‑free experience: pre‑operative evaluations, surgeon and hospital fees, implants, anesthesia, post‑operative medication, rehabilitation, transportation, lodging and bilingual support.  This competitive cost of knee replacement surgery in Mexico delivers exceptional value compared to U.S. prices, which typically start at $30 000 USD and often cover only the surgery and hospital fees.  With HWBazaar, you’ll receive comprehensive care with transparent pricing and no surprise charges.
