Joint replacement package
Joint replacement is a procedure in which the damaged parts of a joint are replaced with artificial materials. At present, this is the closest thing that we have to a cure for damaged and arthritic joints. Whereas other procedures such as medications, injections, and therapy are geared toward controlling the symptoms, a joint replacement corrects the problem itself. The success rate is reported to be anywhere from 95% - 99%, especially in the hands of trained surgeons.
At the Arthritis Center, a straight-forward joint replacement of one hip or knee will cost about PhP 371,000. For both hips or knees, it will cost about PhP 630,000. The price is less with Philhealth. The package price includes the following:
- Admission for 5 days in a large private room
- Operating room, recovery room, and physical therapy fees
- Professional fees
- Hip or knee implants
