Arthroscopy is an advanced, minimally invasive surgical technique that uses high-definition cameras and miniature instruments through keyhole incisions. The overall cost of an arthroscopic procedure in Cairo varies significantly depending on the exact pathology being treated.
| Procedure Type | Cost Drivers |
|---|---|
| Simple Diagnostic Arthroscopy | Shortest operating time, no specialized repair anchors or implants required. Lowest overall cost tier. |
| Meniscus Trimming/Chondroplasty | Involves shaving damaged tissue. Standard arthroscopy tier, fast hospital discharge. |
| Complex Ligament/Tendon Repair | Requires expensive, imported bio-composite implants, anchors, and specialized suturing devices (e.g. ACL screws, rotator cuff anchors). Higher cost tier. |
