Approximate cost of surgery for torn ligaments

Ligament rupture can occur in many parts of the body, and the cost of surgery can vary greatly depending on the treatment plan taken in different places. For example, a simple tendon rupture in a finger requires surgical suturing and external fixation in a cast for protection, and the cost is about$2000-3000. A cruciate ligament rupture in the knee joint cannot be solved by simple suturing, but requires arthroscopic ligament reconstruction surgery, which costs about$30,000-$50,000. An Achilles tendon rupture also falls under the category of ligament rupture and requires a large brace for protection after surgery, which can cost$15,000-20,000. Rarely, the long head tendon of the biceps muscle is ruptured, and this kind of ligament cannot be sutured, but can only be reconstructed at the beginning of the ligament.
