This section covers ten orthopaedic and trauma services — from an online consultation and a review of your scans to arthroscopy, joint replacement and rehabilitation. Most people arrive with two questions: how much the procedure costs, and whether they can show their MRI to a doctor remotely first. The consultation is where people usually start: it is where you discuss whether surgery is needed at all.

Patients rarely search for the name of a procedure — they search for what bothers them every day. Choose the situation closest to yours.
Your knee is swollen and “locks” after an awkward movementThese symptoms are a reason to see an orthopaedic and trauma surgeon, who looks for the cause through an examination and imaging. In this section, the matching services are knee arthroscopy and meniscus tear treatment.Your hip or knee hurts, and walking and sleeping are difficultThe doctor assesses long-standing pain with limited movement based on imaging and how the joint functions. This is when joint replacement is discussed — but the decision is made after an in-person examination, not from a description of symptoms.You have an MRI or X-ray but are not sure what to do with itYou can show your scan to an orthopaedic and trauma surgeon remotely: the clinic offers this as a separate service — an online review of MRI, CT or X-ray images. The aim is to understand what the scan shows and what the options are from here.You have a plate or screws after a fracture — should they come out?Metal implants are not always removed, and not straight away; the timing depends on the bone and how well it has healed. This is a separate planned operation — removal of screws, plates and implants.

What determines the method and the price
What affects the scope of surgery and the cost
Which joint, and what exactly is damaged — The knee, shoulder and hip are operated on differently, and the clinic’s published prices are listed by joint. Meniscus arthroscopy starts from USD 440, and diagnostic shoulder arthroscopy from USD 516.
Scope of surgery: diagnosis, repair or reconstruction — Even within a single arthroscopy, prices vary noticeably: a diagnostic procedure, joint debridement, meniscus repair and ligament reconstruction are priced differently. The doctor determines the exact scope after an examination and imaging.
One joint or two — Bilateral hip replacement starts from USD 1,744, and unilateral from USD 872 (excluding implant). Whether both joints can be replaced is decided by the doctor based on the patient’s condition.
Anaesthesia and length of surgery — The clinic lists the duration separately for each service: knee arthroscopy takes 40–90 minutes, shoulder arthroscopy 60–120 minutes, hip replacement 1.5–3 hours and knee replacement 1.5–2.5 hours. General, spinal or regional (nerve block) anaesthesia is used — the choice is made together with the anaesthetist.

All amounts in the table are starting prices (“from”) and are given in US dollars, as the clinic sets them. The total depends on the scope of surgery, the type of implant, the anaesthesia and how many days you spend in hospital. The final amount is confirmed after an in-person examination and a review of your scans, so the table is a guide for planning, not an invoice.
