Preguntas frecuentes
Ortopedia y Columna en el extranjero — FAQ
Is hip replacement in Bulgaria safe?▾
Yes. Bulgarian hospitals use the same implants (Zimmer Biomet, Stryker, DePuy Synthes) as NHS hospitals and must meet EU Medical Device Regulation 2017/745. Top Sofia hospitals are ISO 9001 certified and several are pursuing JCI accreditation.
How long do I need to stay after hip or knee replacement?▾
Plan for 7–10 days in-country: typically 3–4 days in hospital and 3–5 days recovery before flying. Your surgeon will confirm flight clearance. Most patients are comfortable to fly economy class 7 days post-op with compression stockings.
Will I get the same prosthetic as in the UK?▾
Yes — you can request the specific implant brand and model in advance. Zimmer Biomet, Stryker and DePuy are standard in BalcanCare partner hospitals. Your implant card is issued in English and recognised internationally.
What happens if I need follow-up care back home?▾
Your Balkan surgeon provides a full discharge summary, X-ray reports and implant documentation in English. Any UK GP or NHS orthopaedic department can continue your care from this record.
Does travel insurance cover elective surgery abroad?▾
Standard travel insurance does not cover planned surgery. However, several specialist providers (e.g. AllClear, Staysure) offer medical travel policies. We recommend securing this before booking.
Can I combine orthopaedic surgery with a rehabilitation stay?▾
Absolutely. Several Bulgarian Black Sea and mountain spa-hotel complexes offer post-orthopaedic physiotherapy packages. We can arrange the full itinerary — surgery in Sofia + rehab on the coast.
