cost of shoulder arthroplasty
Typical costs: Shoulder replacement surgery typically costs $7,000-$21,000 or more, depending on the type of implants used and the hospital in which the procedure is performed. According to a 2007 study by researchers from Johns Hopkins University, a shoulder replacement's total costs, on average, are $10,351.
Arthroplasty is a more complex procedure, where a malformed or degenerated joint is surgical reconstructed or replaced with artificial materials like metal or plastic. The cost for this shoulder surgery is similar to an open surgery type and may range between $9,000 - $21,000. Total Recovery Period After Surgery: Approximately 6-9 months.
