Ankle Arthrodesis (Fusion): Eliminating End-Stage Ankle Pain
Ankle fusion is performed when arthritis or instability causes severe pain and replacement is not suitable.
What It Costs
Typical MOH-aligned fees:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 7,800 – 12,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 2,200 – 3,200
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage is usually favourable:
• Medically necessary joint fusion
• Hospitalisation and anaesthesia
Insurance Tip
Ensure this is documented as functional surgery, not elective immobilisation.
Conclusion
Pain-free stability enables walking. Insurance should support definitive fusion.
