Frequently Asked Questions

Cost Of Lab Tests Before Meniscus Surgery Treatment In India

Accurately diagnosing the extent of the meniscus tear is crucial in determining the best course of treatment. To gain a better understanding of the injury, skilled orthopedic surgeons may recommend diagnostic tests. The most commonly recommended tests include;

  • X-ray: An X-ray is a commonly recommended imaging test for orthopedic disorders. It is useful in providing a clear picture of the bones of the affected knee joint, which can help in identifying any fractures or other abnormalities. In Delhi, the average cost of an X-ray ranges from ₹800 to 1200.
  • MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): MRI is typically recommended to get a clear image of the tissues and ligaments affected by the injury. It uses a powerful magnet and radio waves to generate detailed images of the internal structures of the knee joint. In Delhi, the average cost of an MRI scan ranges from ₹1000 to 1500.

Why does Meniscus Surgery cost vary for different patients?

The cost of meniscus surgery can vary significantly between different patients. Several factors can influence the overall cost of the procedure, including;

  • Severity of the injury: The extent of the meniscus tear can impact the complexity of the surgery and the duration of hospital stay, which can increase the cost of treatment.
  • Type of surgery: The surgical technique used for meniscus tear treatment can vary depending on the severity of the injury. A more complicated surgical approach may require specialized equipment or additional medical professionals, which can raise the overall cost.
  • Choice of hospital: The cost of meniscus surgery can vary depending on the hospital or healthcare center chosen for the procedure. Facilities with advanced technology and equipment may charge more for the operation.
  • Geographic location: The cost of meniscus surgery can also vary depending on the geographic location of the hospital or healthcare center. Treatment centers in metropolitan areas or larger cities may charge more than those in smaller towns or rural areas.

What is the cost of different components of Meniscus Surgery in India?

Before undergoing meniscus surgery, patients may want to know the cost of the different components of the surgery. Here are some of the costs associated with meniscus surgery;

  1. Consultation fee: The consultation fee of an orthopedic surgeon in Delhi typically ranges from ₹500 to ₹2000. However, the cost may vary based on the surgeon's expertise, experience, and specialization.
  2. Surgical techniques: There are different surgical techniques that can be used to treat a meniscus tear, including partial meniscectomy, meniscus repair surgery, and open surgery. The average cost of these surgeries in Delhi is as follows;
    • Partial meniscectomy: ₹55,000 to 78,000

The average cost of a physiotherapy session in Delhi ranges from ₹350 to 2000, depending on the experience and expertise of the physiotherapist.
  4. Medications: Patients may need to take medications before and after meniscus surgery, which can also affect the final cost of the treatment.
  5. Selection of the hospital: The choice of hospital can also impact the final cost of meniscus repair surgery. Hospitals with modern infrastructure and facilities tend to have a higher cost compared to those with basic amenities.

Can insurance cover my Meniscus Surgery cost in India?

In India, most insurance providers cover in-patient treatments and procedures for meniscus tears, including meniscus surgery. However, it's worth noting that some insurance policies may not cover physiotherapy treatments. That said, there are insurance providers that offer coverage for both meniscus surgery and physiotherapy treatments.
