Spine surgery in China

What China offers

Spinal fusion, minimally invasive and endoscopic spine surgery are available at Chinese tertiary hospitals. The September 2022 national spine consumables procurement cut implant prices by 84% on average; thoracolumbar fusion sets fell from about 33,000 to 4,500 yuan. Total surgery costs vary by hospital.
