Sports medicine procedures include ligament reconstruction — such as cruciate ligament repair — and arthroscopic repair of joint structures including rotator cuff and meniscal injuries.
These are usually planned procedures where the main considerations are waiting time and cost rather than urgency. Whether either applies depends on your country, your policy and your clinical situation.
Arthroscopic and ligament procedures generally involve shorter inpatient stays than joint replacement, but rehabilitation is a substantial part of recovery and continues after you return home. Actual length varies by patient and is decided by the treating team.
Surgery is performed at Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, where sports medicine (运动医学科) is one of nine orthopedic sub-specialties. Clinical care is delivered by the hospital and its physicians.
Cases follow our five-step process: enquiry and intake, specialist case review, treatment plan and insurance coordination, travel and surgery, then discharge and follow-up.
Coverage for planned treatment overseas varies by policy and requires case-by-case confirmation. We support pre-authorization, guarantee of payment and claims documentation with your insurer or TPA.
