It varies by hospital and surgeon so ask for price quotes. An estimated 60,000,000 US residents are without health insurance. To save costs without necessarily reducing quality, over 500,000 US residents traveled overseas for medical care in 2007 - and the trend is rising. Cost savings can be as high as 90%. One reason is because hospitals in the US often cost $500 or more per square foot to build, but in many foreign countries they can be built for less than $100 a square foot to state of the art specifications. And, often there are fewer patients overseas in relation to the nursing staff available to care for patients. Take care when choosing a facilitator, medical team and hospital just as you would for hospitals and medical teams here. Hospitals should be JCI accredited, and as a double-check, visit the US Department of State website for updates on any countries to avoid and other precautions. You could also visit a country like India where the expertise is of international standards and the treatment is economical. You could even combine your treatment with a holiday! I would recommend Vibha - The Family hospital at Mumbai India for Orthopaedic and Joint replacement for the facilities are excellent, the doctors competent and the cost is very economical. It costed just 5000 USD for my friend to operate her mother at Vibha Te Family hospital at Mumbai India.

If you have knee pain, do you need a replacement?
Without knowing much about the knee pain or your age, I would say that in most cases, knee pain does not require a knee replacement. Often, knee pain can be the result of stress to the knee, mild spraining, or even weak bones. Taking a calcium supplement and avoiding strenuous lifting or other difficult activities for a few days should help the pain. If pain persists after that time, it would be best to see your doctor, but needing a knee replacement is still very unlikely.
I had partial knee replacement about a year ago and have a big problem with swelling and stiffness?
Swelling after knee replacement surgery is common provided it is not abnormal and in excess. If it is too much then ankle pumping exercises and limb elevation might help. If swelling has condensed then it can create knee stiffness. Hope it helps.
