The cost of arthroscopic meniscus repair in Germany typically ranges from $4,500 to $8,500. Prices vary depending on the clinic, the surgeon’s experience, the complexity of the tear, and whether additional procedures like ligament repair are needed. In the United States, the average price is $10,000 (per AAOS). This means arthroscopic meniscus repair in Germany is about 35% less expensive than in the U.S.
German clinics usually include pre-op diagnostics, arthroscopic surgery, anesthesia, hospital stay (1–2 nights), post-op medications, and follow-up visits in the price. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with separate charges for anesthesia, facility use, MRI, and follow-up care. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your chosen clinic.
