Why have this surgery in China specifically?

China offers the same advanced MAKO robotic technology used in the US and Europe at a significantly lower cost—approximately $13,500 versus $30,000–$50,000 in Western countries. Many Chinese orthopedic surgeons perform hundreds of robotic knee replacements annually, ensuring high volume and expertise. Hospitals in major cities like Beijing and Shanghai are JCI-accredited, with English-speaking coordinators and comprehensive post-operative rehabilitation programs.
