Question: how much does it cost to get knee surgery?
Answer: According to a 2013 article in AARP, U.S. hospitals charge $50,000, on average, for a total knee replacement (TKR). A partial knee replacement (PKR) typically costs about 10 to 20 percent less than a TKR. Your health insurance and Medicare will cover most of the cost, but there will still be payments to make.
