Ligament Repair (ACL Surgery) cost --- FAQs

How much does ligament repair (ACL surgery) cost in India?

Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction in India typically costs Rs 90,000 - Rs 1,60,000 (all-inclusive, varies by graft, implants & meniscus work needed). Straightforward hamstring-graft reconstructions sit at the lower end; cases needing premium fixation implants or additional ligament work reach the higher end. Axten quotes one written all-inclusive figure - surgery, implants, stay and initial physiotherapy - with zero surprise billing. Call 8156-92-92-92.

What makes one ACL surgery cost more than another?

Mainly the hardware and the extent of work inside the knee. Fixation implants - the small screws and buttons anchoring the graft - come in titanium and costlier bio-absorbable versions. Additional procedures such as meniscus repair or a second ligament add theatre time and implants. Your Axten quote itemises the graft, implants and any meniscus work upfront, so the figure is fully explained.

Is ACL reconstruction covered by health insurance?

Yes, in most cases. ACL reconstruction following an injury is treated as medically necessary surgery by most Indian insurers, and arthroscopic short-stay procedures are well recognised under daycare norms. Axten's cashless desk verifies your specific policy, obtains pre-authorisation and handles the paperwork end to end. If any portion is not covered, you are told the exact figure in writing before surgery.

Is meniscus repair charged separately during ACL surgery?

Not at Axten. If a meniscus tear is found and repaired or balanced through the same keyholes during your ACL reconstruction, it is done within the quoted package - no separate surprise line item appears on the bill. This matters because meniscus injuries accompany a large share of ACL tears, and repairing them early protects your knee from arthritis later.

Is delaying ACL surgery a way to save money?

Usually the opposite. An unstable knee that keeps giving way grinds the menisci and cartilage; a meniscus that was repairable early often becomes irreparable later, and cumulative cartilage damage invites arthritis at a young age - problems that cost far more to treat than a timely reconstruction. If you are active and your knee is unstable, early surgery is the sounder financial decision too.

Can young patients pay for ACL surgery in instalments?

Yes - and many do. Axten's 0% EMI converts a mid-range package of about Rs 1,25,000 into roughly Rs 10,400 per month over a year, interest-free, which suits students and young professionals paying for their own surgery. The plan is approved before your surgery date, and can also cover any portion your insurance policy does not.
