Ankle arthroscopy in Thailand typically costs from $2,000 / ฿68,000 to $3,500 / ฿119,000. The price varies depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s experience, and whether the procedure is diagnostic or includes repairs (like ligament or cartilage work). In the United States, the average cost is $11,000 / ฿374,000 (per AAOS). That means ankle arthroscopy in Thailand is about 75% less than in the U.S.
Thai hospital packages usually include pre-op tests, general or regional anesthesia, arthroscopic equipment, the procedure itself, post-op medications, and follow-up care. In the U.S., the price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with anesthesia, hospital stay, and rehab billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your chosen clinic.
