Knee replacement fees 2026: packages and bill statistics compared at 10 private hospitals

How much are knee replacement packages at each hospital?

The table lists the single-knee total knee replacement packages published by the 9 Hong Kong private hospitals this site checked, not all institutions in Hong Kong. The ‘Doctor's fee’ column states whether the package includes the doctor's fee; for packages covering hospital charges only, the doctor's fee is charged separately.

Compiled by this site: in the ‘Total knee replacement (one knee)’ column, packages that include the doctor's fee cost about HK$150,000 to HK$191,800; the package covering hospital charges only, without the doctor's fee, is HK$75,100; packages only for public hospital patients are listed separately (Precious Blood Hospital (Caritas) HK$125,000). Room class, length of stay and restrictions differ between packages, so when comparing go by the ‘Applies to’ column and the notes.

How this list was put together: an institution is listed when it publishes this fee on its own website and this site has checked the figures against that fee schedule. The rows are in a fixed order, not in order of price; this site does not recommend any institution, the order says nothing about quality, and the list is not every institution in Hong Kong.
