Revision Hindfoot Fusion: Addressing Non-Union or Persistent Pain

Revision fusion may be required when bones fail to unite or pain persists after prior hindfoot surgery.

Typical MOH-aligned fees:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 9,000 – 15,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 2,800 – 4,000
Bone grafting increases complexity.

Coverage is generally available:
• Medically necessary revision surgery
• Hospitalisation and anaesthesia

Document non-union or mechanical failure clearly.

Successful fusion often needs a second attempt. Insurance should support completion.
