The cost of knee replacement in Austria typically ranges from $20,000 to $35,000. Prices can vary depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s experience, implant brand (like cemented or uncemented), and whether you need partial or total replacement. In the United States, the average cost is $45,000 (according to AAOS). That means knee replacement in Austria is about 39% less than in the U.S.
In Austria, packages usually include pre-op tests, anesthesia, a high-quality prosthesis, 5–7 days of hospital stay, medications, and follow-up visits. In the U.S., costs for the implant, anesthesia, and post-op care are often billed separately from the surgeon and hospital fees. Always confirm what your quote covers at each clinic.
