Medical Tourism

Rotator cuff surgery in Mexico is within the budget of an average American, who doesn’t have insurance, and is accessible quick enough to a Canadian or British national, who may otherwise have to line up for it in their home countries.

Medical tourism in Mexico is much sought after for various orthopedic and other kinds of surgeries.

The rotator cuff is made up of these muscles:

• Supraspinatus muscle
• Infraspinatus muscle
• Teres minor muscle
• Subscapularis muscle

It is the rotator cuff that gives the shoulder joint its full range of motion, but the muscles and tendons that make it up are very small. Also, they are slow to heal when injured or operated on, as this area of the shoulder receives very little blood supply.

Rotator cuff tear or injury might happen in athletes because of increased and constant overhead motion and in non-athletes either because of a traumatic injury or because of wear and tear. It is usually the Supraspinatus muscle that is affected in rotator cuff tears, but other muscles, too, might be affected in some cases.

Knee meniscus arthroscopic surgery in Mexico is gaining popularity with people from the US, Canada,and many other countries across the world. The meniscus is a C-shaped fibrocartilage that acts as a shockabsorber and also helps avoid friction between the femur and the tibia bones that come together to form the knee joint. Thus, its role is understandably huge in activities like walking, standing, etc. Meniscus tears may develop either as a result of trauma or wear and tear in patients with knee arthritis. Traumatic tears in younger, more athletic patients, are also sometimes associated with ACL tears.

There are various types of meniscal tears, depending on their position on the meniscus:

• Vertical longitudinal tears
• Transverse or radial tears
• Horizontal cleavage tears
• Flap tears

Tears on the outer portion of the meniscus heal faster than those on the inner, as the latter lacks good blood supply.

Who Should Consider Surgery for Meniscal Tears in Mexico?

• Persons with longitudinal meniscal tears rather than those with degenerative horizontal or flap tears.
• Tears shouldn’t be longer than 1-2 cm.
• Patients who are willing to comply with the knee rehabilitation program post-surgery.
