The cost of total knee replacement varies depending on age, type of surgery, brand of replacement, and other factors. In the United States, an uninsured patient can expect to pay upwards of $45,000.

In most other places in the world, the cost is far lower. Patients can take advantage of globalization and receive total knee replacement surgery for a low price in a number of destinations.

The following is a chart of the estimated cost of knee replacement around the world:

Country Estimated Price (USD)

United States $45,000-$60,000

Singapore $18,000-$22,000

Thailand $12,000-$14,000

Taiwan $9,000-$10,000

India $7,000-$11,000

Do not calculate cost when you go for a major surgery. You need to select a good doctor, good implant, and good medication. Do not base your decision on hospital room and luxury looks.

Insurance can cover most of the cost. If you do not have insurance with their approval for the TKR the cost can be anywhere from 30,000 to 100,000.

Knee replacement cost varies from state to state and also from country to country.

Also it depends on how much insurance coverage you have and how much you pay out of your pocket.If you want to do knee replacement in USA you should be thinking about 35000-55000 and more.

Hope this helps.
