Backstreet Clinics vs. Quality Hospitals<\/h3>\n<p>rnSeveral factors influence the cost of anterior cruciate ligament surgery here in Mexico. While the country has many quality hospitals and clinics, it also has several backstreet clinics.rnrnTypically, quality clinics and hospitals provide a fair price for the work required and skill levels needed to perform such a procedure. While they may not be the cheapest costs found in Mexico, prices come with limited risk.rn<\/p>\n<h3>2. Clinic or Hospital Location<\/h3>\n<p>rnThe location also plays a part in the cost of a ligament graft or torn ligament surgery in Mexico.rnrnClinics or hospitals located in tourist areas such as <a href=\"https:\/\/mtctheme.medicaltourismco.com\/knee-replacement-in-puerto-vallarta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Puerta Vallarta<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/mtctheme.medicaltourismco.com\/knee-replacement-in-cancun\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cancun<\/a> or border towns like <a href=\"https:\/\/mtctheme.medicaltourismco.com\/knee-replacement-in-tijuana-mexico\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tijuana<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/mtctheme.medicaltourismco.com\/knee-replacement-in-juarez\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ciudad Juarez<\/a> will charge competitive prices because of the demand for visits from American or Canadian medical tourists.rnrnHowever, the above destinations are where the best hospitals and clinics are found, alongside some of the best orthopedic surgeons. Therefore, they come with less risk.rnrnIt&#8217;s estimated, for example, that <strong>97% of ACL sports injury<\/strong> cases recover fully.<span class=\"tippy\" data-tippy-content=\"\n    <div class='tippy-tip'>\n    <p class='tippy-name'>NCBI<\/p>\n    <p><strong>Failure of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction<\/strong><\/p>\n    <p><em>'Although primary ACL reconstruction has satisfactory outcome rates as high as 97%, it is important to identify the causes of failure...'<\/em><\/p>\n    <a target='_blank' class='tippy-url' href=https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4628627\/>View in Article<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n    \"><sup>[4]<\/sup><\/span>u00a0Some hospitals have a 99% success rate.rn<\/p>\n<h3>3. Surgical Training and Experience<\/h3>\n<p>rnThe final factor that may influence surgical costs is the experience of the surgeon.rnrnMany highly skilled orthopedic surgeons complete their training in the US. Training costs somewhere between <strong>$250,000 and $500,000<\/strong>.<span class=\"tippy\" data-tippy-content=\"\n    <div class='tippy-tip'>\n    <p class='tippy-name'>Bizfluent<\/p>\n    <p><strong>The Average Cost of Becoming a Surgeon<\/strong><\/p>\n    <p><em>'In most cases, the cost of becoming a surgeon will run from around $250,000 to over $500,000 in the United States.'<\/em><\/p>\n    <a target='_blank' class='tippy-url' href=https:\/\/bizfluent.com\/info-8654257-average-cost-becoming-surgeon.html>View in Article<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n    \"><sup>[5]<\/sup><\/span>rnrnAs a result, many qualified surgeons come out with significant student loan debt that needs paying off.

The main contrast is their anatomical locations.rnrn<div class=\"columns\"><div class=\"column\"><p>rnrn<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"column\"><p>rn<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-66746 size-full\" title=\"Meniscus Tear in Mexico\" src=\"https:\/\/mtctheme.medicaltourismco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/archive\/2021\/09\/Knee-surgery-in-Mexico-Meniscus-Repair.jpg\" alt=\"Meniscus Tear in Mexico\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" \/>rnMeniscus Tear<\/h5>\n<p>rn<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"column\"><p>rn<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-66745 size-full\" title=\"ACL Tear in Mexico\" src=\"https:\/\/mtctheme.medicaltourismco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/archive\/2021\/09\/Knee-surgery-in-Mexico-ACL.jpg\" alt=\"ACL Tear in Mexico\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" \/>rnACL Tear<\/h5>\n<p>rn<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>rnrnThe ACL is a large ligament that connects the <strong>back of the thigh bone (femur)<\/strong> to the <strong>front of the shin bone (tibia)<\/strong>. The ligament supports the knee bone by preventing the femur from shifting too far forward.rnrnAlternatively, the menisci ligaments (2 per knee) sit on the tibia and form biological padding. The meniscus prevents the tibia from impacting the femur during movement.rnrn<strong>So what does this mean?<\/strong>rnrnBoth tears can result in a decreased range of motion, excessive swelling, and immediate discomfort. The difference becomes clearer 24 hours after the initial problem.rnrnIf you experience an ACL tear, walking on flat ground<strong> should remain comfortable<\/strong> aside from any initial discomfort when the accident occurred. Walking downhill, ascending stairs or jogging, may, however, cause pain.rnrnConversely, because meniscal ligaments act as shock absorbers, any tears remain painful even when standing.rnrn\n    <h2 id=\"ACL_repair\" class=\"section-heading\">ACL Repair in Mexico u2013 What To Expect<\/h2>\n    rnrnIf you currently suffer from a torn or ruptured ligament, you&#8217;ll know just how debilitating the problem can be.rnrnIn Mexico, experienced <a href=\"https:\/\/mtctheme.medicaltourismco.com\/doctors-in-mexico\/#OrthopedicSurgeons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">orthopedic surgeons<\/a> will <strong>replace or repair a torn ligament<\/strong> using the latest tissue\/ligament grafting techniques.rnrn<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-67326 size-full\" title=\"ACL Repair in Mexico\" src=\"https:\/\/mtctheme.medicaltourismco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/archive\/2021\/09\/Rom-knee-Brace.jpg\" alt=\"ACL Repair in Mexico\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/>rnrnSurgeons will take tissue from the <strong>patella, hamstring, or quadriceps tendons<\/strong>, grafting it onto the problem area.
