Orthopedics
Joint replacement and spine surgery
Joint replacement is one of the clearest cost gaps between China and the US. The implant itself is a known, quotable line item — and in China, major teaching hospitals use the same international implant families (Zimmer Biomet, DePuy Synthes, Stryker, Smith & Nephew) that you would be offered at home.
For patients paying out of pocket, that combination of familiar implants and lower fees is the core value. The part that needs care is rehabilitation: we ask for the hospital's physiotherapy plan and discharge protocol in advance, because the weeks after surgery matter more than the surgery day.
How we coordinate this
- Records reviewed and summarised in English before any hospital is approached.
- Two or three hospitals shortlisted on volume, English support and fit.
- An indicative cost range with the factors that move it up or down.
- A realistic schedule, including what must happen before you fly.
