Orthopedics
Joint replacement, spinal surgery, sports medicine, minimally invasive and robotic-assisted procedures.
Belgian orthopaedic surgery sits at the European frontier of robotic-assisted joint replacement, complex spine surgery and sports medicine. Wait times are short, surgical volumes are high, and rehabilitation programmes are integrated with the surgical service.
Patients arriving for joint replacement are typically operated on within seven to ten days of arrival, with a structured rehabilitation pathway extending two to four weeks.
International patients we work with may be treated through institutions such as UZ Leuven, Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc, UZ Brussel and CHU Liège. We are not formal partners of any of these centres — we coordinate care into them, with appropriate humility about their independence.
Pre-operative review, surgery, in-hospital rehabilitation, then outpatient rehabilitation — all coordinated in a single accommodation arrangement so you do not move during recovery.
Air travel after lower-limb joint replacement is generally safe at fourteen days, sooner with deep-vein thrombosis prophylaxis and medical clearance.
Frequently asked
Yes, in several Belgian centres. Suitability is determined by your surgeon on the basis of anatomy and case-specific factors.
For a single joint replacement, approximately three to four weeks. We coordinate accommodation, rehabilitation and return travel together.
