Knee meniscus injury surgery cost

If a patient who has no medical insurance at all receives treatment in Shanghai, the combined costs of hospitalization, anesthesia and surgery cannot be reimbursed, and the cost of surgery may be 20,000-30,000 yuan. The cost of surgery is related to the medical insurance policies of various places and the location, type, size and degree of meniscus injury. If you are in Shanghai and belong to the medical insurance group, the cost of surgery for meniscus injury is between 4,000-10,000 yuan. For severe meniscus injuries, the cost of surgery does not exceed 15,000 yuan.

Is meniscus degeneration serious?

A second-degree meniscus injury does not belong to a more serious meniscus injury. Meniscus injuries are divided into several types. According to the severity, they are divided into primary meniscus injury, which is relatively mild and does not require surgical treatment at all. Only conservative treatment is needed. Secondary meniscus injury, which is a moderate injury, can achieve relatively good results through strict conservative treatment. However, there are a few patients who will consider knee arthroscopy even if conservative treatment is not effective. Basically, the meniscus does not need to be removed, only repaired. There are also tertiary injuries and tears of the meniscus. Tertiary injuries and tears are more serious injuries and usually require surgical treatment and even removal of the meniscus.

What are the symptoms of meniscus strangulation?

This is mainly a clinical symptom caused by severe meniscus injury in patients. For example, third-degree meniscus injury often causes patients to experience walking noose symptoms. The so-called meniscus noose symptom refers to the patient's knee joint being stuck when walking, and then performing appropriate flexion and extension activities, and then walking. This is a typical meniscus noose symptom. For these patients, the possibility of self-recovery is not very high. They usually require active surgical treatment and arthroscopic surgery. It is completely possible to trim the meniscus or suture the meniscus.
