The Surgery You Need, When You Need It.
Facing a long wait or prohibitive costs for knee replacement, hip replacement, or ACL reconstruction? We offer subspecialty care at Aster MIMS Kannur — PGI Chandigarh training, MRCS credentials, premium implants — at a fraction of Western prices, with no waiting list.
Why patients travel for orthopedic surgery
Institutional-grade surgical training
Dr. Vishnu trained at PGIMER Chandigarh — India's premier surgical training institute — and holds MRCS from the Royal Colleges, UK. The same evidence-based protocols used in British and American teaching hospitals guide every case.
A fraction of Western costs
Complex procedures like revision hip replacement cost approximately one-fifth to one-eighth of UK/US private rates. This includes premium implants, hospitalization, and rehabilitation. You receive a fixed cost estimate before you travel.
No waiting list
Orthopedic surgery in many countries means months of waiting in pain. Our international track offers priority scheduling — from landing to consultation to surgery within 48–72 hours.

A clear four-step process — from remote case review to surgery to returning home.
Remote Case Review
Send your MRI, CT scans, or X-rays via email. Dr. Vishnu reviews the imaging personally to confirm surgical candidacy, outlines a provisional plan, and provides a fixed cost estimate — all before you book a flight.
Email your scansTravel & Visa Support
Once your case is accepted, we issue a Medical Visa Invitation Letter. Kannur International Airport (CNN) has direct flights from Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Muscat, and Bahrain. We coordinate the rest.

Pre-operative assessment is completed within 24 hours of arrival at Aster MIMS. Surgery is typically scheduled within 48–72 hours. You are treated in modern modular operating theatres by the same team that reviewed your case remotely.
Recovery & Follow-Up
You fly home only when medically cleared, with a Fit-to-Fly certificate. We provide complete surgical documentation — implant details, operative notes, post-op imaging — for your local team, plus scheduled video follow-ups at 2 and 6 weeks.
