The cost of shoulder replacement in Germany typically ranges from $14,000 to $20,000. Prices vary depending on the type of implant (anatomic, reverse, or partial), the clinic, and the surgeon’s experience. In the United States, the average price is $35,000 (per AAOS). This means shoulder replacement in Germany can cost about 51% less than in the U.S.
German hospitals usually include pre-op tests, general anesthesia, a high-quality prosthesis, 5–7 days of hospitalization, medications, and initial physiotherapy. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the surgeon and hospital fees, with separate charges for implants, anesthesia, and rehab. Always confirm exactly what’s included at each clinic.
