About the clinic
Meniscus tear treatment at Meliva Kardiolita Hospital in Vilnius, Lithuania, focuses on minimally invasive surgery to restore joint function. A consultation with an orthopedist typically runs $120–$150, while an MRI scan is around $100–$300, and arthroscopic surgery may cost between $2,200 and $4,500. This facility is the only JCI-accredited hospital in the Baltic States, ensuring high safety standards for orthopedic care.
Diagnostic options for meniscus tears
The hospital uses high-resolution imaging to identify the exact location and severity of the tear. Patients undergo a physical exam followed by specific imaging tests to determine if surgery is necessary. The diagnostic phase includes:
- Consultation with an orthopedist. A traumatologist evaluates knee stability and range of motion.
- MRI of one area. The clinic uses 1.5T and 3T MRI machines for clear images of soft tissues.
- Treatment plan creation. A specialist develops a recovery roadmap based on the diagnostic results.
Minimally invasive surgical treatments
Surgeons at Meliva Kardiolita Hospital perform meniscus repair using arthroscopic techniques. This method involves small incisions, which helps reduce pain and shortens the time spent in the hospital. Most patients undergo day surgery and can return to their hotel or home shortly after the procedure.
- Arthroscopic meniscectomy. This primary treatment removes damaged meniscus tissue and typically costs around $2,200–$3,800.
- Arthroscopy. This procedure serves as both a diagnostic tool and a treatment for various joint injuries, with prices around $2,500–$4,500.
Recovery and rehabilitation
Meliva Kardiolita Hospital features an on-site rehabilitation center to help patients regain strength after surgery. The recovery process includes physiotherapy and kinesitherapy sessions tailored to each patient's needs. Having these services in the same building allows for a smooth transition from surgery to physical recovery. The orthopedics-traumatology center is specifically organized to handle both the surgical procedure and the immediate post-operative care within a single day-surgery framework.

The doctor was warm, patient, and explained everything very well
The contact coordinator was excellent. The doctor was warm, patient, and explained everything very well, though the English support in the hospital itself could be improved. I came in for a hip problem, but it turned out well; no surgery was needed, just specific exercises. The final price matched the quote with no unexpected additional expenses. I suppose there is no further contact from the clinic now that I am home. It was a good experience.
Contact coordinator was TOP. Clinic was good and doctor was warm and patient and explained all verywell. Really recommendable
English support in hospital must improve.

The surgeon was amazing, would definitely recommend; my three stitches were very small and neat, and I hardly had any post surgery pain, it was very minimal
My main concern was choosing a clinic, as it's hard to compare them from afar. The process was very good. My Bookimed coordinator had quick replies and stayed in touch, which was reassuring. The surgeon was amazing, would definitely recommend; my three stitches were very small and neat, and I hardly had any post surgery pain, it was very minimal. I'm still feeling the fatigue from healing and am at about 50% capacity. The only real issue was that my post-surgery documents were not translated into English. Despite this, I am satisfied with the medical care I received.
