The Cost of Joint Replacement Surgeries Did anyone else here read last Sunday’s New York Times. Right there… on the front page of the Sunday edition of the NYT, there was a scathing report on the high cost of joint replacement surgeries in the USA. How much does a knee or hip joint replacement cost in the USA? As much as $125,000!!! And that is not even counting the cost of down time and loss of productivity required to recover from those surgeries. And, of course, if you have complications, your cost could be much, much higher. And considering that new studies are reporting a high incidence of complications, such as infections, hardware failure, and increased risk of strokes, your cost could potentially cause a big hole in your bank account, even if you are only responsible for the 20% co-pay. This is the reason more and more Americans are opting to travel abroad to have these surgeries done. But, why? Don’t get me wrong, a vacation to Thailand, India, or Mexico sounds great…but, for joint replacement surgery? Fortunately, a better option exists: stem cell treatments. With just a couple of injections, at a fraction of the cost of surgery (a lot cheaper even than a 20% co-payment), with no complications, no down time, and no travel insurance (or the need for imodium) you can treat your joints without surgery, have a more active lifestyle, and less pain.
