Hip Replacement Cost by Country 2025

Hip replacement, either total or partial, is becoming a more popular procedure as a means of dealing with the pain caused by osteoarthritis and other injuries or joint wear. More than a million hip replacements are performed globally every year, where a substantial proportion of patients are older adults, and studies seem to show a higher proportion of women than men among recipients.

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons states that most patients who undergo hip surgery “experience a dramatic reduction of hip pain and a significant improvement in their ability to perform common activities of daily living.”

But how much does a hip replacement cost? The table above provides an overview of hip replacement cost by country in 46 countries where hip replacement is available.

Highlighted Countries

The contrast in the cost of hip replacement in the countries with the highest and the lowest pricing for this procedure is quite revealing. For example, the two countries where hip replacement is most expensive are Israel and the United States. Two countries with the lowest cost for the procedure are Bangladesh and Georgia. The difference in pricing between the highest and the lowest cost is roughly a factor of 30.

Israel

Israel is the country where the cost of hip replacement is the highest. The cost of hip replacement in Israel goes up to $36,000, but considering the modern AMIS and Signature Knee methods used, it can be said to be totally worth it. The methods shorten the rehabilitation period and reduce operation traumatism.

Among the most famous Israeli hip replacement specialists are Aaron Menachem and Alexey Kalganov, doctors with extensive experience in primary and secondary joint replacement.

United States

According to one major study, around 7 million Americans live with a hip or knee replacement. Among older Americans, joint replacement is far more common than in younger populations, due to age-related wear, arthritis, and other factors.

Hip replacement in the U.S. can cost over $28,000, making the United States the country with the second highest cost of hip replacement in the world. This is likely an average or lower end cost, as the price of the procedure is known to reach as much as $60,000 in some instances.

Bangladesh

Hip replacement surgery is the least expensive worldwide in Bangladesh, costing just $1,360, according to 2025 data. The low price reflects reduced medical labor costs, lower hospital overhead, and the availability of locally produced implants, all while many facilities maintain solid surgical standards.

Depending on the hospital and implant type, total hip replacement in Bangladesh typically ranges from $1,300 to $2,000, still far below the prices seen in higher-cost countries.

Georgia

In Georgia, total hip replacement costs average around $2,356, making it the second most affordable option worldwide. Despite this low cost, many hospitals are equipped to provide quality orthopedic care, offering a budget-friendly alternative to high-cost countries while maintaining good surgical standards.
