The average total knee replacement surgery generates indirect savings of almost $40,000âmore than offsetting the cost of an operation that itself costs about $21,000, according to a new study being published in the The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery.
The average hospital charge for a total knee replacement (TKR) in the United States is $49,500. A partial knee replacement (PKR) typically costs about 10 to 20 percent less than a TKR. The main reason is that the operation requires a shorter hospital stay.For example: an average of 2.3 days, compared to 3.4 days. partial knee replacement (PKR) typically costs about 10 to 20 percent less than a TKR.
