Arthroscopic surgery uses a tiny camera and instruments inserted through small incisions to diagnose and treat joint problems. Cost depends on whether the procedure is diagnostic or therapeutic (e.g., meniscus repair vs. ACL reconstruction), whether it is day surgery or requires hospitalization, and the implants used. China's orthopedic centers perform high volumes of arthroscopic procedures at 50–70% less than Western prices.
