1 For patients not covered by health insurance, the cost of ACL reconstruction, including the surgeon's fee, facility fee, anesthesia and graft, if needed, ranges from just under $20,000 to $50,000.2  ACL reconstruction usually would be considered medically necessary and covered by health insurance. Physical therapy at $50 to $75 or more per hour can add $1,000 or more to the cost. 2  Pain medication usually is prescribed during recovery. 3  Injury or graft failure could result in the need for a second ACL reconstruction.
If the knee also has an injured medial collateral ligament (MCL), it is best to allow the MCL to heal completely (usually six to eight weeks) before reconstructing the ACL. Then an arthroscopic procedure can be performed to reconstruct the ACL. The torn MCL usually does not need to be repaired surgically.
