Specializes in shoulder and knee arthroscopic surgery – Dr. Na Nakorn brings precision to joint replacements at KDMS Specialized Orthopedic Hospital.
Dr. Pradab Pradasuk is an orthopedic surgeon with 24 years of experience at Navamin9 Hospital in Bangkok. He consults in English and Thai.
His practice focuses on arthroscopy and knee reconstruction. This includes ACL surgery, meniscectomy, arthroplasty, and joint replacement. He treats shoulder disorders, including rotator cuff tears. He manages ankle and foot conditions, including arthrodesis, joint replacement, Achilles tendon repair, and toe or foot reconstruction. He performs fracture surgery of the forearm, pelvis, and spine. Spine procedures include endoscopic discectomy, decompression, fusion with instrumentation, and spinal cord stimulation (SCS). He provides limb prosthetics and orthotics. He provides orthopedic rehabilitation, including Re-Step. Diagnostic support includes MRI, CT, and chest X-ray.
Patients should plan for a 10 to 14 day stay in Thailand for shoulder replacement. This timeline includes 1 to 3 days for pre-operative diagnostics like X-rays and 1 to 3 nights of hospitalization. You must remain in-country for initial recovery before flying home.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Data from 140 Thai clinics shows a trend toward aggressive early rehabilitation. Specialized centers like KDMS focus exclusively on orthopedics, often providing detailed recovery protocols for your home-country physiotherapist. This coordination is vital since you will likely depart before finishing the full rehab cycle.
Patient Consensus: Success depends on scheduling home-based physical therapy before leaving Thailand. While the surgery timeline is efficient, patients emphasize that following the surgeon's specific post-op exercises is the key to regaining full mobility.
