The cost of knee replacement in South Korea typically ranges from $13,500 to $14,800. Prices vary depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s experience, implant type (cemented, uncemented, or hybrid), and whether you need a partial or total replacement. In the United States, the average cost is _price_compare_us_average_ (according to AAOS). This means knee replacement in South Korea is about _price_percent_discount_% less expensive than in the U.S.
South Korean hospitals generally include pre-op tests, general or spinal anesthesia, high-quality prosthetic implants, several days of hospital stay, medications, and initial physiotherapy in the package price. In the U.S., anesthesia, prosthesis, and rehab are often billed separately from the hospital and surgeon fees. Always confirm which services and extras are included at each clinic.
