Asan Medical Center
Ankle arthroscopy in South Korea typically costs from $6,000 to $7,200. The price varies depending on the clinic, the surgeon’s experience, the complexity of the joint problem, and whether additional procedures (like ligament repair or debridement) are needed. In the United States, the average cost is $11,000 (per AAOS). This means ankle arthroscopy in South Korea is about 40% less than in the U.S.
Korean hospitals usually include pre-op tests, general or spinal anesthesia, the arthroscopic surgery itself, standard surgical materials, a hospital stay (if needed), medications, and follow-up visits. In the U.S., the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, hospital charges, and post-op care are often billed separately. Always confirm what’s included with your chosen clinic.
