Orthopedic Surgery in Egypt
Coordinated joint replacement, spine, and sports injury care with our partner orthopedic surgeons
Hospitals Co Egypt coordinates orthopedic surgery for international patients who choose to have their procedure performed in Cairo. We are a facilitator, not a hospital: we connect you with orthopedic surgeons at our partner facilities, handle the paperwork and logistics around your trip, and stay in touch through recovery and follow-up. Every clinical decision, from whether surgery is the right option to which implant or technique is used, is made by the treating surgeon, not by our team.
This page explains which orthopedic procedures we most commonly get asked to coordinate, what imaging and records the surgeon needs before any cost estimate is confirmed, how physiotherapy fits into your recovery stay in Egypt, and how the process maps onto our standard patient journey.
Procedures We Commonly Coordinate
Joint, spine, and sports injury procedures performed by orthopedic surgeons at our partner hospitals
Total & Partial Knee Replacement
Replacement of a damaged knee joint with an implant, either the full joint or just the affected compartment. The surgeon reviews your X-rays and examination findings to decide which approach fits your case.
Hip Replacement
Replacement of a worn or damaged hip joint, commonly requested for advanced arthritis or a prior injury. Implant type and surgical approach are decided by the surgeon after reviewing your imaging.
Arthroscopy
Minimally invasive keyhole surgery used to diagnose and treat problems inside the knee, shoulder, or other joints. Whether your case is suited to this approach is decided by the surgeon.
Spine Surgery Consultations
Review of spinal conditions such as disc problems or degenerative changes by a partner spine surgeon, who advises whether surgery, injections, or conservative treatment is the right next step.
Sports Injury Treatment
Assessment and treatment of ligament, tendon, and joint injuries from sport or activity, including reconstructive procedures where the surgeon determines they are needed.
Fracture Revision
Correction of a fracture that did not heal properly or was previously treated elsewhere, evaluated by the surgeon against your prior operative notes and current imaging.
Imaging and Records We Need Before a Quote
A clear evaluation needs to see your joint or spine, not just hear about it
We do not issue orthopedic cost estimates from a procedure name alone. Before any plan is confirmed, you send us recent X-rays of the joint or spine involved, an MRI if you already have one, and any operative notes from previous surgery on the same area. Please also include a summary of your general health, current medications, and any mobility limitations you are currently living with.
Our team forwards this directly to the partner orthopedic surgeon relevant to your case. The surgeon reviews the images and notes, may request additional imaging if what you have is not sufficient, and gives their own professional opinion on what is realistic and safe for you. Only once the surgeon has confirmed a plan do we provide a firm cost estimate and start scheduling travel.
Rehabilitation During Your Recovery Stay
Physiotherapy support and an optional recovery tour, based on what your surgeon clears
Physiotherapy Coordination
We coordinate physiotherapy sessions during your recovery stay in Cairo, on the schedule and exercises your surgeon and physiotherapy team set for your specific procedure.
Recovery Accommodation
Comfortable accommodation arranged near your treatment facility for the days your surgeon recommends you stay in Cairo before flying home.
Transfers & Follow-Up Visits
Transportation to and from physiotherapy sessions and any post-operative check-ups the surgeon schedules during your stay.
Optional Recovery Tours
If your surgeon clears light activity, we can arrange gentle sightseeing around your rehabilitation schedule, with mobility aids or seating arranged where needed. This is entirely optional and only once the surgeon says it's appropriate.
How the Process Works
From your first X-rays to your follow-up call at home
Send X-Rays, MRI & Medical History
Submit your imaging, any previous operative notes, and your relevant medical history through our form or WhatsApp.
Surgeon Review
The partner orthopedic surgeon reviews your case, may request more imaging, and gives a professional opinion on your options.
Cost Estimate & Planning
Once the surgeon confirms a plan and a recommended length of stay, we provide a cost estimate and start arranging your travel dates.
Travel Preparation
We assist with visa requirements, flight timing, and accommodation booked near your treatment facility.
Procedure & Physiotherapy
Your surgery is performed at the partner facility, followed by the physiotherapy and recovery period your surgeon recommends before travel is safe.
Optional Recovery Tours
If cleared by your surgeon, enjoy light sightseeing during your rehabilitation window before departure.
Return Home & Follow-Up
We prepare your medical reports and coordinate remote follow-up with your surgeon and your doctor at home.
Timelines vary by procedure and individual healing. As a general guide, the full process from first consultation to treatment completion typically takes 2-6 weeks. See the full breakdown on our Patient Journey page.
Support Throughout Your Treatment
Practical help alongside the clinical side of your orthopedic care
Mobility & Accessibility
We help arrange wheelchair assistance, accessible transport, and ground-floor or elevator accommodation where needed for patients with limited mobility after surgery.
Confidential Records
Your X-rays, MRI scans, and operative notes are shared only with the specific partner surgeon and facility handling your case. See our Privacy Policy.
Ongoing Coordination
Our team stays in contact with you and the surgeon from your first message through your return home and follow-up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about orthopedic surgery coordination in Egypt
How do orthopedic surgery consultations work remotely?
You send us your X-rays, MRI if available, and a description of your symptoms and medical history. We pass this to the partner orthopedic surgeon relevant to your case, who reviews it and responds with their professional assessment, questions if needed, and a cost estimate. Nothing is scheduled until the surgeon confirms the case in writing.
What imaging and records should I send for an orthopedic evaluation?
Recent X-rays of the joint or spine involved, an MRI if you already have one, and any operative notes from previous surgery on the same area. Also include your current medications, allergies, and chronic conditions such as diabetes or heart conditions that affect surgical planning. The surgeon will tell you if additional imaging is needed before confirming a plan.
How long will I stay in Egypt after a joint replacement?
There is no single number we can quote in advance. The treating surgeon sets your recovery timeline based on your specific procedure, your mobility before surgery, and how you heal, and the cost estimate you receive is built around that recommended stay. As a general planning guide, the full process from first consultation to treatment completion typically takes 2-6 weeks, but your surgeon's individual instructions always take priority over this general figure.
Can I combine physiotherapy with sightseeing during recovery?
Some patients do, but it depends entirely on what your surgeon clears for your stage of recovery and your mobility. We coordinate physiotherapy sessions first and only arrange optional tours around that schedule once the surgeon confirms light activity is safe for you.
Do you perform the surgery yourselves?
No. Hospitals Co Egypt is a facilitator, not a hospital. We coordinate consultations, travel, accommodation, and communication with our partner hospitals. All surgery is performed by the treating surgeon at the partner facility, and every clinical decision is made by that surgeon, not by our team.
