The cost of hip replacement in South Korea typically ranges from $10,800 to $25,100. Prices vary depending on the clinic, surgeon’s experience, implant brand (such as Zimmer Biomet or DePuy Synthes), and whether you need a partial or total replacement. In the United States, the average cost is $60,000 (per AAOS). This means hip replacement in South Korea is about 70% less than in the U.S.
Korean clinics usually include the initial consultation, pre-op blood tests, post-op medication, follow-up visits, and 24/7 patient support. English-speaking staff and personalized treatment plans are standard. Meals during clinic visits and post-op care instructions are also covered. In the U.S., many services—like follow-ups, anesthesia, and implants—are often billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your chosen clinic.
