The cost of amputation in Germany typically ranges from $25,000 to $45,000. Pricing depends on the clinic, the surgeon’s experience, the level of amputation (toe, below-knee, above-knee), and any additional reconstructive work. In the United States, the average cost is $65,000 (per AAOS). This means amputation procedures in Germany are about 46% less expensive than in the U.S.
German clinics usually include the initial consultation, pre-op blood tests, post-op medication, follow-up visits, a personalized treatment plan, and English-speaking staff. Meals during clinic stays and 24/7 patient support are also covered. In the U.S., costs often only include the surgery itself, with separate bills for anesthesia, hospital stay, and follow-up care. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your chosen clinic.
