How Much Does Shoulder Replacement Cost in Vietnam

The cost of Shoulder Replacement Surgery in Vietnam typically ranges from USD USD 6000 - USD 12000, depending on the type of implant (total, partial, or reverse shoulder replacement), materials used, hospital accreditation, and the surgeon’s expertise.

Vietnam has emerged as a preferred destination for advanced orthopaedic and joint replacement surgeries, offering state-of-the-art prosthetic technology, experienced surgeons, and excellent postoperative care at a fraction of the cost compared to Western countries.

Top hospitals in Vietnam perform anatomical and reverse shoulder replacements using computer-assisted techniques and international-grade implants, ensuring long-lasting results, restored mobility, and improved quality of life for both domestic and international patients.

Factors Influencing the Cost of Shoulder Replacement

  • Type of Shoulder Replacement: Costs vary depending on whether it is a total shoulder replacement (TSR), a partial replacement (hemiarthroplasty), or a reverse shoulder replacement (RSR) with reverse replacements generally the most complex and expensive.
  • Implant Material and Brand: The choice of implant and brand greatly influences the total cost. Premium imported implants ensure greater longevity and joint stability.
  • Surgeon’s Expertise: Board-certified orthopaedic and joint replacement surgeons with international training or specialisation in shoulder arthroplasty may have higher professional fees but deliver superior precision and outcomes.
  • Hospital or Clinic Accreditation: Treatment at JCI-accredited or internationally recognised hospitals with dedicated orthopaedic units and robotic or computer-navigated surgery systems can slightly increase costs but ensure top-tier safety and outcomes.
  • Preoperative Evaluation and Imaging: Comprehensive diagnostic imaging (X-rays, MRI, or CT scans), blood tests, and pre-anaesthetic evaluations are necessary to plan the replacement accurately and are included in the total package cost.
  • Type of Anesthesia and Operation Duration: Most procedures are performed under general or regional anaesthesia and last 1.5–3 hours. Operating room charges depend on the hospital’s surgical infrastructure and anaesthesia type.
  • Inpatient Stay and Recovery Needs: Typically, patients stay 3–5 days post-surgery for pain management and monitoring. The total cost depends on the length of stay and room category (standard, private, or deluxe).
  • Postoperative Rehabilitation: A structured physiotherapy program is crucial for restoring joint function and range of motion. Rehabilitation costs, though additional, are essential for successful recovery.
  • Travel and Accommodation for International Patients: MediGence offers comprehensive medical travel support, including visa facilitation, airport transfers, hospital appointments, and accommodation, ensuring a smooth treatment journey.

Shoulder replacement removes damaged areas of bone and replaces them with parts made of metal and plastic (implants). This surgery is called shoulder arthroplasty

The shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint. The round head (ball) of the upper arm bone fits into a shallow socket in the shoulder. Damage to the joint can cause pain, weakness, and stiffness.

Shoulder implants are available in a few different shapes and a range of sizes. Replacement options include partial and total using either anatomic or reverse implants.

The shoulder joint may get distorted due to several reasons. Often due to degenerative diseases or auto-immune disorders like arthritis, the bone disintegrates gradually which causes increased friction and thus, enhanced pain. Pain in the shoulder joint is extremely difficult to cope with, especially in the progressed stages.

Reason

The shoulder joint may get distorted due to several reasons. Often due to degenerative diseases or auto-immune disorders like arthritis, the bone disintegrates gradually which causes increased friction and thus, enhanced pain. Pain in the shoulder joint is extremely difficult to cope with, especially in the progressed stages. It not only interferes with daily activities but also restricts movement sometimes completely. Hence, in such cases where conventional methods seem to yield fruitful results, shoulder replacement surgery is highly recommended. In this procedure, the candidate’s glenohumeral joint or the shoulder joint is surgically removed and replaced with artificial joints or prosthetics. These prosthetics are not prone to degeneration and have years of longevity in the record. Hence, it not only helps in getting rid of the pain but also ensures comfortable movement of the arms without any discomfort in the long run.

Frequently Asked Questions

Shoulder Replacement Surgery, or Shoulder Arthroplasty, is a procedure that replaces damaged parts of the shoulder joint with artificial components (prostheses) to relieve pain and restore motion, commonly due to arthritis, injury, or degeneration.

Yes. Vietnam’s top orthopedic hospitals follow global joint replacement protocols and maintain sterile surgical environments with advanced implants and skilled surgeons ensuring excellent success rates.

  • Total Shoulder Replacement (TSR) – both the humeral head and socket are replaced.
  • Partial Shoulder Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty) – only the humeral head is replaced.
  • Reverse Shoulder Replacement (RSR) – positions of the ball and socket are reversed for patients with severe rotator cuff damage.
  • The procedure typically takes 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity and implant type used.

    Most patients begin gentle movement within 2–3 days. Full recovery takes 3–6 months, with progressive physiotherapy to regain full strength and mobility.

    Modern implants typically last 15–20 years, depending on patient activity, bone quality, and adherence to rehabilitation programs.

    The surgery involves an incision of around 10–15 cm, which heals over time, leaving minimal scarring when proper postoperative care is followed.

    Vietnam offers 50–70% lower costs than Western countries while maintaining world-class implant quality, surgical safety, and rehabilitation outcomes.
