How much orthopedic surgery costs in China

Why a single figure can't be quoted

To the question “how much does joint or spine surgery cost,” there is one honest answer: it depends on the case. Joint replacement with a standard implant and complex revision surgery with a patient-specific 3D implant are different amounts. Anyone who quotes an exact price without looking at the scans is giving a “market average,” not your real cost.

What makes up the cost

An orthopedic treatment estimate usually consists of several parts:

• Diagnostics and examination — clarifying the picture before surgery
• The surgery and the surgeons' work — the main part
• The implant — standard or a patient-specific 3D one
• The hospital stay — depends on its length
• Rehabilitation — including methods of traditional Chinese medicine

The share of each part differs in every case. For example, robotic navigation or a patient-specific implant is not a mandatory surcharge but the surgeon's medical decision for a specific situation.

How payment works

Here is a point that matters for trust: payment goes directly to the FFCH clinic's account, with no intermediaries. The money does not pass through the representative.

• Bank transfer (SWIFT) or cards
• Payment in installments is possible
• A deposit is made to issue the invitation; any unused portion is refunded

What support includes

Beyond the treatment itself, FFCH helps with logistics: medical interpreters, help with the visa, and documents in English for your doctor at home. Accommodation for companions is near the clinic.

Why FFCH

Foshan Fosun Chancheng Hospital is a top-category hospital Grade III Class A. A transparent estimate, direct payment to the clinic and a single board — that is what sets treatment here apart from “medical tourism through an intermediary.”
