Whether it is shoulder arthroscopy, knee arthroscopy, hip arthroscopy or ankle arthroscopy, there are two parts to the cost of the procedure: the first part is the cost of the routine inpatient examination as well as the preoperative medication and postoperative treatment; the second part is the cost of the arthroscope used to perform the procedure. Under normal circumstances, the procedure requires an ion knife, a planer knife and the corresponding instruments. After the entire arthroscopy is done, the cost is roughly in the range of 8,000-13,000 yuan, depending on the size of the specific hospital or the specific hospital management.
