What to Do if You Break Your Leg Abroad

It’s one of the worst fears going on vacation – what do you do if you fall and break your leg while you’re on vacation? How do you get home?

At Air Ambulance Worldwide, we have decades of experience in helping people get home when they need help and medical attention. So we are experts in long distance medical transportation!

What to Do When You First Break Your Leg Abroad

When you’re abroad and break your leg, go to the local emergency room to get your leg diagnosed and stabilized as soon as possible. Depending on your insurance, your health, and your overall situation, they’ll help you decide if you should have your leg set and handled there, or if you should be Medevac’d home to have it handled.

Medical Flights to Get Home With A Broken Leg

If you’re far from home but still need to get home for treatment, a private jet air ambulance is the likely best and fastest way to get home. At Air Ambulance Worldwide, we have provided thousands of medical flights all around the world to get people home safely and quickly.

Our team is available 24/7, so give us a call today and we can discuss costs and options for getting a fast medical flight – sometimes available as soon as a few hours from your call.

A medical flight through Air Ambulance Worldwide involves bed to bed care, where our team will meet you at the hospital at your origination location, fly with you, and coordinate getting you to your destination location.

Commercial Flights Home for People With Broken Legs

If you’ve broken your leg, but you’re medical stable and able to fly commercially, the cheapest option to get home is regularly a commercial flight. It can be hard to manage your broken leg, your luggage, and generally airport and flight logistics, so that’s where commercial flight medical escorts come in.

A commercial flight medical escort will meet you at your home, business, hospital or hotel, ensure that you have a cast that is appropriate for travel at altitude, and help you get to the airport. They’ll be with you through check in, security, and other airport logistics to help you board your flight. Then, they’ll fly with you and be able to help with your medical and logistical needs while in-flight.

When you get to your destination, they’ll help you with de-planing, baggage claim, and getting a ride home (depending on what you need).

Our commercial flight medical escorts can help you as soon as tomorrow in many cases. Give us a call today, and our 24/7 team can work with you on costs, timing, and logistics.
