Dear Sagar Chandra Kheto,
Thank you for reaching out with your question about proximal tibia fracture treatment options and associated costs. The decision to undergo surgery or receive a plaster cast for a proximal tibia fracture depends on various factors, including the severity of the fracture, displacement of the bones, and your overall health condition.
In some cases, surgery may be recommended to realign the bones and stabilize the fracture with implants such as plates, screws, or rods. Alternatively, a plaster cast may be used for non-displaced or minimally displaced fractures to allow for natural healing.
As for the cost, it can vary widely depending on several factors, including the hospital or medical facility where the treatment is provided, the type of procedure or treatment required, whether open or closed reduction, consumables like plates or screws or rods, any additional services or tests needed, and your insurance coverage, if applicable. Usually, the procedure cost starts from 80,000/- and may go up to 1,75,000/-.
To get an accurate estimate of the cost for your specific situation, we recommend scheduling a consultation with an orthopaedic surgeon who can assess your condition and discuss treatment options with you.
