Minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery requires the use of disposable supplies and is therefore relatively expensive. The exact cost of arthroscopic surgery depends on which part of the body is being operated on, combined with the specific condition. If it is a general arthroscopic knee surgery, consumables are generally used less and the cost may be between$10,000 and$20,000. However, if the meniscus needs to be sutured or if there is a tear in the ligament, the cost may increase, sometimes to$30,000-$40,000. The cost of shoulder arthroscopy is higher than knee arthroscopy. First of all, shoulder arthroscopy requires general anesthesia, and the cost of general anesthesia itself, as well as monitoring and other charges, will be higher than knee arthroscopy. Also, shoulder arthroscopy uses the same radiofrequency tip, and it is used more frequently. So, if the rotator cuff injury is caused by shoulder arthroscopy impingement, the use of internal fixation supplies is more expensive and may cost$30,000-$40,000. If the shoulder arthroscopy problem is relatively complex, the cost of the arthroscopic procedure itself, the cost of anesthesia, and the cost of consumables together may add up to$60,000 or more. Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure, and many consumables are single-use, mostly imported, which can be more expensive. Also, because of the difference in pricing from one place to another, the fees can vary greatly from place to place.
