The cost of synovitis surgery varies depending on the level of the hospital, the regional fee schedule, and the surgical procedure. The overall cost of synovitis joint debridement surgery at a tertiary care hospital, including pre-operative examination, anesthesia, surgical operation, and post-operative medication, is generally about $15,000. If arthroscopy is involved, the cost may be higher because it involves consumables and the use of arthroscope, and the cost may be higher at around 20,000 RMB. In hospitals that are not high level, such as secondary hospitals, the cost will decrease and overall the cost of joint cleaning for synovitis is around 15,000 RMB.
