The cost of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in Germany typically ranges from $10,000 to $14,000. Prices can vary depending on the clinic, the surgeon’s experience, the type of graft used (autograft vs. allograft), and whether additional procedures like meniscus repair are needed. In the United States, the average cost is $27,500 (per AAOS). ACL reconstruction in Germany is about 56% less than in the U.S.
German clinics generally include pre-op diagnostics, surgery with general or spinal anesthesia, high-quality fixation materials, 1–2 days of hospital stay, post-op medications, and the first follow-up. In the U.S., the advertised price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with anesthesia, implants, hospital stay, and physical therapy billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included at each clinic.
