The cost of knee arthroscopy in Ukraine typically ranges from $1,500 to $3,000. Prices depend on the clinic, surgeon’s experience, the complexity of the knee problem (meniscus repair, ligament work), and whether advanced tools are used. In the United States, the average cost is $10,000 (per AAOS). This makes knee arthroscopy in Ukraine about 77% less expensive than in the U.S.
Ukrainian packages usually cover pre-op tests, general or spinal anesthesia, the arthroscopic procedure, disposable instruments, one hospital night, medications, and follow-up visits. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with anesthesia, hospital stay, and post-op care billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your chosen clinic.
