How much does surgery for gluteal myoclonus cost?

The cost of surgery for gluteal myoclonus is related to many factors such as the degree of disease, surgical method, different regions, different hospitals, etc. It is about 10-20 thousand dollars. Depending on the appearance, gluteal myoclonus can be categorized into mass type, membrane type and fascicular type. Mass type can be palpated as nodules, membrane type can be palpated as contractures in the form of flakes, and fascicular type can be contractures in the form of fascia of the gluteal muscle in the form of bands. The traditional surgical method is to make a longitudinal incision on the lateral side of the hip joint to reveal the iliotibial fascia below the broad fascia tensor muscle, make a zigzag incision of the iliotibial fascia to fully expose the contracted muscles, and then incise or excise the contracted muscles to solve the problem of tightness of the iliotibial fascia and restore normal function. Another type of surgery is minimally invasive surgery, with smaller incisions. Through arthroscopic access to the surface of the iliotibial bundle, the iliotibial bundle is incised transversely, which also solves the problem of tightness of the iliotibial bundle, with the advantage of a smaller surgical incision. Different types of diseases, different surgical methods and individual health conditions will cause the cost to vary, such as hospitals in big cities and high grade hospitals will have a higher overall cost. It is recommended that patients with gluteal myoclonus consult the doctor at their hospital to clarify the cost of treatment before surgery.
