What does bone graft cost for a revision hip? Get a real number.
Straight answers from Elite Surgical, hip & knee revision in Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, OH.
You are planning a revision hip at Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. The hospital wants a bone graft cost per case before you book. You need a clear number, not a surprise after the surgery.
In revision hip surgery, the old implant is removed and bone loss around the acetabulum or femur must be filled. The graft material packs into the defect and supports the new implant. ACTIFUSE is a synthetic graft that remodels into your own bone as you heal.
There is no single bone graft price. The cost depends on defect size, measured in cubic centimeters or packs. For a hip revision, you may need 5 to 30 cc. Synthetic graft like ACTIFUSE is priced per pack. Autograft uses your own bone but adds operating room time and a second incision, which raises the total bill.
Before scheduling, call the hospital billing office. Ask for the per-cc or per-pack cost of the bone graft substitute they plan to use. Compare that to the extra OR time for autograft. Elite Surgical can provide per-pack pricing for ACTIFUSE when your surgeon chooses it for your case.
Once you know the per-unit cost, you can plan the expense with confidence. You go into surgery without surprise bills. Your recovery focuses on healing, not on financial questions.
