is traver actually a word.hhhhmmmm.hang on..well i looked it up and according to the american heritage dictionary that word doesnt exist. based on this answer i am not able 2 answer your question.

I strongly recommend you to get your knee surgery in India.You will save lots of money.Orthopaedic surgery is very cheap in India.This company is very famous in India that arranges orthopaedic surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.

I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as all surgery is not covered by insurance.They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your hip surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

My cousin also got her knee surgery for acl repair in India through the forerunners healthcare .SHe is more than very happy with the results.She just paid 25% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company.hope this helps
