How much is internal fixation surgery

Patients who have a fracture need to be treated surgically by performing an incision and giving internal fixation. The cost of surgery is determined clinically by the specific site and the specific procedure. If a patient has a fracture of the femoral stem and undergoes surgery, the general cost is around$22,000 for an incision and internal fixation with a plate under epidural anesthesia. If the same fracture of the femoral stem is treated surgically with an incision and internal fixation with a locked intramedullary pin, the general cost is around$25,000-27,000. If the patient has a double fracture of the ulna and radius of the forearm, giving an incision and locking plate internal fixation, the general cost is around$32,000. Therefore, the fee is different for different parts of the operation, and should be based on the local hospital fee.
