Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction in Egypt usually costs 60,000–85,000 EGP. When a meniscus repair is done in the same operation the total is usually 75,000–95,000 EGP. The final figure is confirmed after examination and MRI, because associated injuries change the size of the operation.
What is ACL reconstruction?
The torn ligament is replaced with a tendon graft, usually from your own hamstring or patellar tendon, fixed through small bone tunnels using an arthroscope. Full details are on our ACL reconstruction surgery page.
What affects the cost of ACL surgery?
| Factor | Effect on the price |
|---|---|
| Associated injuries (meniscus, other ligaments) | Increases it; ACL + meniscus repair is usually 75,000–95,000 EGP |
| Hospital and room type | Noticeable difference between hospitals |
| Fixation devices (screws, buttons) | Prices vary by type and manufacturer |
| Added procedures such as LET | Adds operating time and a modest cost when needed |
| Surgeon and team experience | Reflected in fees — and in a lower chance of needing revision surgery |
| Physiotherapy after surgery | Usually charged separately |
What to ask before you book

- What happens to the cost if a meniscus repair is needed during surgery?
- Which graft will be used, and why?
- Is physiotherapy included or separate?
- What follow-up visits are included?
Is there a non-surgical option?
Yes, for selected patients — for example a partial tear with a stable knee, or lower-demand activity. See ACL treatment without surgery.
