How much does minimally invasive arthroscopy cost?
The price of arthroscopic surgery is related to the type of surgery. If only a partial meniscus resection is performed under arthroscopy, the surgery price ranges from approximately 15,000 to 20,000 yuan. If an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery is performed under arthroscopy, the cost of fixation materials will increase, probably by about 6,000 yuan. If the fixation material also requires a compression screw, it will increase by about 4,000 yuan, resulting in an overall cost of around 25,000-30,000 yuan.
1. Knee arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery involves creating small working channels around the knee joint and inserting the arthroscope and surgical instruments into the joint to perform guided operations. It is often used to treat many diseases within the knee joint, such as synovial hyperplasia, meniscus tears, loose body bone hyperplasia, reconstruction surgery for cross ligament rupture, fixation of intra-articular avulsion fractures, treatment of cartilage injuries, joint lysis surgery, and popliteal fossa cyst surgery behind the knee joint. All these can be treated through arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery.
2. The routine operation involves operating and observing through two entrances in front of the knee joint. If necessary, two working channels, upper inner and upper outer, may also be established above the kneecap. If monitoring of the posterior knee joint is required, posterior inner and posterior outer observation channels may need to be established, with one channel for observation and the other for operation, to treat various lesions of arthritis. Arthroscopic surgery avoids large incision surgery on the knee joint, resulting in faster postoperative recovery, less pain, and is now the mainstream surgical method.
