HOW MUCH DOES ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY COST?
Contact Us
Orthopaedic surgery is a medical speciality that involves the diagnosis,
treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders, which affect bones,
muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints. There are various types of orthopaedic
surgeries and the costs vary depending on several factors, including the type of
surgery, the location of the hospital, the surgeon's fee, and any additional
medical expenses.
WHAT COSTS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY?
1. Pre-operative tests: Depending on the type of surgery, you may need to have
certain tests done prior to the procedure, such as blood tests, X-rays, or
an MRI.
2. Anaesthesia: Anaesthesia is typically required for orthopaedic surgery, and
the cost of this can vary depending on the type of anaesthesia used.
3. Surgeon's fees: The fees charged by the surgeon will be a significant part
of the cost of the procedure. These fees may vary depending on the
experience and reputation of the surgeon.
4. Facility fees: The fees charged by the hospital or surgical facility where
the procedure is performed will also be a significant part of the cost.
5. Post-operative care: After the surgery, you may need to have physical
therapy or other forms of rehabilitation to help you recover.
6. Length of hospital stay: The length of your hospital stay will affect the
cost of the procedure. If you need to stay longer, this will increase the
overall cost.
7. Medication: You may need to take certain medications before and after the
surgery, such as painkillers or antibiotics.
8. Transportation: Depending on the type of surgery, you may need to arrange
for transportation to and from the hospital or clinic.
9. Insurance coverage: Your insurance coverage will affect the out-of-pocket
cost of the procedure. Be sure to check with your insurance provider to
understand what is covered and what is not.
10. Additional factors: Other factors that may affect the cost of the procedure
include the type of implant or device used, any complications that arise
during or after the surgery, and any additional medical services required.
WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERIES & HOW MUCH DO THEY COST?
Here are some of the most common orthopaedic surgeries conducted in the UK and
their estimated cost ranges as of 2023:
ARTHROSCOPIC SURGERY
A minimally invasive surgical technique that involves the insertion of a tiny
camera attached through a small incision. Used to treat joint-related issues.
Estimated cost: from £2,000 to £6,000.
ANKLE REPAIR SURGERY
Ankle repair surgery is a procedure which is necessary if the joint is unstable
after a fracture. During surgery, the bones are repositioned and held together
with implants. Estimated cost: from £1,000 to £6,000 depending on the complexity
of the injury.
HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY
Traditional hip replacement surgery involves replacing the entire ball and
socket joint. Hip resurfacing involves only replacing the damaged portions,
making the surgery less invasive. Estimated cost: from £8,000 to £12,000.
KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY
This surgery is required for patients with severe cartilage damage to the knee
joints, which makes movement restricted and painful. Depending on the severity
of the injury, a patient may need either a partial or total knee replacement
surgery. Estimated cost: from £8,000 to £12,000.
SHOULDER REPLACEMENT SURGERY
This surgery involves the removal of the top portion of the humerus and
replacing it with a metal ball. The damaged portion of the socket is then
replaced with a plastic prosthesis. Estimated cost: from £7,000 to £15,000 or
more, depending on the complexity of the procedure.
FRACTURE REPAIR
The cost of fracture repair in the UK can range from £1,000 to £6,000, depending
on the complexity of the injury.
JOINT FUSION SURGERY
Joint fusion surgery is common among arthritis patients. The damaged cartilage
is removed during surgery and replaced with a graft. The bones making up the
joint are then welded together to provide joint stability. It can be done in
your spine, fingers, ankles, and feet. Estimated cost: from £5,000 and £15,000
or more depending on the complexity of the procedure.
THE COST OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY
The cost of orthopaedic surgery can vary depending on several factors, such as
the type of surgery, the location of the hospital, the surgeon's fee, and any
additional medical expenses. The cost of orthopaedic surgery can range from a
few thousand pounds to tens of thousands of pounds. It is important to consult
with your healthcare provider and insurance provider to understand the costs and
coverage associated with orthopaedic surgery.
How much does an orthopaedic consultation cost?
A private consultation for orthopaedic surgery, without private healthcare
insurance, can cost the average patient £200 to £300. Clients with GlobMed can
book a discovery consultation fee today for £25.
Does the NHS cover orthopaedic surgery?
Yes, the NHS covers orthopaedic surgeries. However, for less "urgent" cases many
patients seek private consultations due to the waiting times.
Do I need a referral to see an orthopaedic surgeon in the UK?
No, you do not need a referral from an NHS doctor in order to undergo a private
orthopaedic consultation.
