Hip Replacement Surgery Cost in Egypt 2026

Hip Replacement Cost in Cairo: Complete Guide

Hip replacement is one of the most cost-effective medical interventions in modern medicine, providing decades of pain-free mobility for a one-time investment. The estimated range for a total hip replacement package in Cairo is 140,000 – 210,000 EGP , depending on the bearing surface and implant brand you choose.

The Most Critical Choice: Bearing Surface

The bearing surface is what generates the "wear" in a hip replacement. Your choice determines how long the implant will last. Options include:

• Ceramic-on-Ceramic Lowest wear rate in the world (~0.001mm/year). Best for patients under 70. Virtually no debris generation over 25+ years.
• Ceramic-on-HXLPE Highly cross-linked poly insert. Excellent longevity and durability. Most versatile option for all activity levels.
• Metal-on-Poly Traditional option. Good longevity. Higher wear rate than ceramic. More affordable entry-point.
• Metal-on-Metal ❌ No longer recommended due to elevated ion release risks. Not used at JointCure.

Hospital & Care Costs

Hip replacement patients typically stay in hospital for 2-3 nights. The facility fee includes the operating theatre, blood transfusion management (when needed), post-anaesthesia care, intravenous pain management, and physiotherapy-team visits during the admission.
