What Does Partial Knee Replacement Cost Without Insurance?

Dr CR Oosthuizen 3 min read

Cash-pay packages in South Africa typically range from R130 000 to R220 000 all-in.

For self-funding (cash-pay) patients in South Africa, a partial knee replacement at a private hospital typically costs between R130 000 and R220 000 inclusive of surgeon, anaesthetist, hospital, implant and standard post-op physiotherapy. Pricing varies with hospital, implant choice and length of stay.

Most private hospitals offer a fixed-fee package for cash-pay patients which removes the uncertainty of itemised billing. Our rooms can request a written quote on your behalf — it lists the surgeon fee, anaesthetic fee, theatre and hospital fee, implant cost and an estimate for post-operative consultations.

International patients are welcome and the package usually includes the surgery, two follow-up consultations and a written report for your home surgeon. Travel, accommodation and additional rehabilitation are quoted separately.
