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.
Though the average cost for a total knee replacement procedure (without complication) was $31,124 in 64 markets where claims data was reviewed, costs for the same procedure dipped as low as $11,317 in Montgomery, Alabama, and rose as high as $69,654 in New York City.
