Typical fees for knee replacement in Israel range from $17,500 to $24,500. These rates usually cover the surgeon fee, prosthetic implants, anesthesia, and hospital stay. Top surgeons like Dr. Aleksey Kalganov at Assuta Medical Center often provide these bundled packages for international patients.
- Surgical expertise: Includes the performance of total or robotic-assisted knee replacement.
- Pre-operative planning: Covers initial diagnostic assessments and surgical mapping for precise alignment.
- Inpatient monitoring: Includes follow-up consultations and monitoring during the 4-5 day hospital stay.
- Standard implants: Most packages include the cost of high-quality prosthetic joints and fitting.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows that choosing doctors with international training, such as Dr. Vladimir Goldman who studied at New York’s Hospital for Special Surgery, ensures access to advanced techniques like the Ilizarov method. Patients benefit from surgeons at JCI-accredited centers like Sourasky, where experts like Dr. Segev Eitan use robotic systems for better long-term implant stability.
Patient Consensus: Patients note that quotes are often all-inclusive, covering everything from the operating room to the first few follow-up visits. They were surprised to find that even with high-end implants, the total cost remains much lower than in the US. Many felt relieved that physical therapy usually begins the very first day after surgery.
