How much does it cost to have an X-shaped leg surgery?

The cost of surgery for bow legs varies depending on the region, hospital level and surgical method, and generally ranges from 20,000 to 80,000 yuan.

X-shaped legs, medically known as knock knees, are a common deformity of the lower limbs, characterized by the knees moving inward and the feet moving outward. Surgery is one of the effective ways to correct X-shaped legs, and the costs mainly include preoperative examination, surgical costs, anesthesia costs, and postoperative rehabilitation. Preoperative examinations such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs cost about 1,000 to 3,000 yuan; surgical costs vary depending on the surgical method, and common surgical methods include osteotomy, epiphyseal block, and arthroscopic surgery, with costs ranging from 15,000 to 60,000 yuan; anesthesia costs are calculated based on the anesthesia method (general or local anesthesia) and the duration of the operation, usually between 3,000 and 8,000 yuan; postoperative rehabilitation includes physical therapy and functional exercises, with a cost of about 2,000 to 5,000 yuan. Hospitalization costs, drug costs, and postoperative follow-up will also affect the total cost.

When choosing surgery, it is recommended to give priority to tertiary hospitals or professional orthopedic hospitals to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the surgery. Communicate fully with the doctor before surgery to understand the risks of the surgery and the recovery time after surgery. Usually, a 3-6 month recovery period is required after surgery. After surgery, be careful to avoid strenuous exercise, have regular checkups, and perform functional exercises as prescribed by the doctor. If financial conditions are limited, you can ask the hospital whether it supports medical insurance reimbursement or installment payments. X-leg surgery can not only improve appearance, but also relieve knee pain and prevent complications such as arthritis. It is recommended to treat it as soon as possible for better results.
