How Much Does Knee replacement Cost in Poland?

The cost of knee replacement in Poland typically ranges from $7,400 to $10,600. Prices vary depending on the clinic, the surgeon’s experience, the type of implant (cemented, uncemented, or hybrid), and whether you need a partial or total knee replacement. In the United States, the average cost is $45,000 (according to AAOS). This means knee replacement in Poland is about 80% less than in the U.S.

Polish clinics usually include pre-op tests, general or spinal anesthesia, a high-quality prosthesis, hospital stay (3–7 days), medications, and initial physiotherapy. In the U.S., many of these services—like anesthesia, prosthesis, and rehab—are often billed separately from the surgeon’s fee. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your chosen clinic.

According to local patients, this is a highly professional clinic, especially the traumatology department
We asked for help in conducting arthroscopy at the Holy Family Clinic in Rzeszow (Poland). She was promptly admitted, on the same agreed day she was admitted to the hospital, and the next morning she was operated on. According to local patients, this is a highly professional clinic, especially the traumatology department. The only small minus is the long wait for the response of the clinic itself to record the appointment. It seemed that the clinic was not very interested. But when my husband and I got there, we realized that the influx of patients is very high. For this reason, they carefully choose the doctor, the day of the consultation, the MRI, in order to meet the minimum length of the patient's stay in the clinic. We also want to express our gratitude to the Bookimed team. Without her constant support, we would not have been able to achieve anything. Thank you very much! To all who are sick, a speedy recovery!

"We were very satisfied
I really liked the Clinic. We came from Belarus with a child for a consultation with Dr. Zdanovich. The organization of the trip from the very beginning was under the supervision of Bookimed. The clinic was met by the coordinator Danuta, who helped with the paperwork at the registration desk, accompanied the doctor and helped with translation. Doctor Zdanovich I explained everything in an accessible form on our problem. We were very satisfied. I really liked the work of the Bookimed care department. Everything is coordinated from start to finish. A professional approach to the client. Everything is at the highest level. Thank you for the promptness and attentiveness.

Our Knee replacement Techniques: What Suits You Best?

When considering Knee replacement, it’s important to understand the different techniques and which is best suited for you. Here’s a concise comparison of popular options:

Knee Arthroscopy

A minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat problems in the knee joint by inserting a small camera and instruments through tiny incisions.

Pros: Offers quicker recovery times than open surgery, with fewer complications. Studies show up to 80% success in treating meniscal tears.
Cons: Limited to minor repairs and may not address severe arthritis. There's a 10-20% chance of needing further surgery.
Effectiveness: Effective in 70-90% of cases for relieving pain and improving function.
Duration: 1-2 hours
Recovery: 1-6 weeks
Best for: Meniscal tears, loose fragments, and mild to moderate cartilage damage.
Prices: Cost of Knee Arthroscopy in Poland from $1,000

Knee MAKOplasty

Knee MAKOplasty is a minimally invasive knee surgery using robotic assistance to ensure precise implant placement.

Pros: Provides more precision than traditional knee surgery, with a 90% success rate in pain reduction. Minimally invasive, leading to smaller incisions and less scarring.
Cons: Requires specialized equipment and training, which may not be available in all facilities. Longer learning curve for surgeons compared to traditional methods.
Effectiveness: 98% accuracy in implant positioning, enhancing joint function and longevity.
Duration: 2-3 hours
Recovery: 4-6 weeks
Best for: Patients with osteoarthritis affecting one or two knee compartments. Suitable for individuals seeking faster recovery.
Prices: Cost of Knee MAKOplasty in Poland from $15,000

Unicompartmental (partial) knee replacement

This procedure involves replacing only one compartment of the knee joint, preserving more of the patient's natural bone and ligaments.

Pros: Retains more natural knee function with 85% of patients reporting a more natural feel compared to total knee replacement. Smaller incision results in quicker recovery.
Cons: Not suitable for patients with severe arthritis affecting multiple compartments. Revision rate is higher, with about 10% needing further surgery within 10 years.
Effectiveness: 10-year survival rate is approximately 85%.
Duration: 1-2 hours.
Recovery: 3-6 months.
Best for: Patients with arthritis confined to a single knee compartment. Ideal for those under 60 years old.
Prices: Cost of Unicompartmental (partial) knee replacement in Poland from $7,000
