About the clinic
At Hospital de la Familia in Mexicali, Mexico, patients receive expert care for a meniscus tear. An initial diagnostic MRI may cost around $500.

Dr. Juan Antonio Bustamante, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon, leads the care with 37 years of experience and over 900 procedures performed.
Diagnostic Evaluation
A proper diagnosis starts with a detailed clinical examination. An MRI of the knee is the key imaging study. It clearly shows the location and severity of the meniscus tear. This scan helps Dr. Bustamante plan the most effective surgical approach.
Treatment Options
Hospital de la Familia offers two advanced arthroscopic procedures. Both use minimally invasive techniques. This leads to smaller incisions and a faster recovery compared to open surgery.
- Arthroscopic Meniscus Repair: This technique stabilizes the torn cartilage using a system with two anchors. The goal is to preserve and heal the patient's natural meniscus. This is the preferred option when possible.
- Arthroscopic Meniscectomy: This procedure partially removes the damaged section of the meniscus. It is used when repair is not feasible. The surgery aims to relieve pain and improve function.
The Surgical Package
The meniscus repair treatment package is designed for medical tourists. It includes several essential components.
- Knee arthroscopy procedure.
- A two-night stay in the hospital's private rooms.
- All necessary medications during the hospital stay.
Patients should budget separately for items like crutches or transport from San Diego. The boutique hospital is conveniently located just 200 yards from the U.S. border.
Expert Surgical Care
Dr. Juan Antonio Bustamante specializes in orthopedics and sports medicine. He brings decades of expertise to each arthroscopic surgery. He is an active member of prestigious societies. These include the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons. His extensive background ensures patients receive skilled, modern care for knee injuries.
