How much does meniscus surgery cost?
The cost of meniscus repair surgery can vary significantly, typically ranging between £3,000 and £8,000. This variation depends on several factors, including the complexity of the procedure and the type of equipment and implants required.
Here’s a breakdown of what your surgery costs may include:
Hospital and Equipment Fees: Meniscus repair is usually a day-case surgery, meaning you can often go home the same day. The equipment used, especially if implants are necessary, can add to the cost. Implants are often an essential part of the repair process, contributing to a successful recovery, but they can be a significant portion of the overall expense. Meniscus repair surgery aims to preserve the meniscus but the implants to repair the meniscus can add significantly to the cost of surgery.
Surgeon’s Fee: this can vary according to the location that the surgeon works at bracket London is generally more expensive than outside London) also some surgeons are extremely popular due to their experience and reputation, and results they achieve. This can be reflected in the cost.
Anaesthetist’s Fee: generally meniscus surgery involves a general anaesthetic. Again, and the costs can vary according to location and experience.
Some clinics will provide a full package inclusive of all fees and these packages can vary between £3000- £8000 depending on the individual needs of the patient, their knee and their meniscus
