Prices
2 of the 5 publish prices on their own websites. Too few of them price the same treatments for us to give a fair range in Germany.
What patients mention
We read 845 Google reviews of 5 of these clinics. These are the subjects mentioned most, added up across all of them. Each clinic's own page shows its own counts.
In the 770 reviews with 4 or 5 stars
In the 60 reviews with 1 or 2 stars
Counted with a fixed word list, so treat these as at least this many. One review can mention several subjects; 3-star reviews are in neither group. No quotes, and no clinic is named here.

Common questions
Which is the best orthopaedic hospital in Germany?
We don't name a best one. Every clinic says it's the best, so compare them on the same records instead: whether the clinic is on the official register, what its Google reviews say and how many there are, whether it publishes its prices, and who would treat you. Of the 5 orthopaedic hospitals we hold in Germany, 4 are on the register and 2 publish prices.
How many orthopaedic hospitals in Germany are on the official register?
4 are on the Germany Destatis hospital directory (checked 6 Oct 2026). For 1, the register has to be searched by hand, and we haven't done that yet. Each clinic's page gives its own result and the date we checked.
Do orthopaedic hospitals in Germany publish their prices?
2 of the 5 we hold publish prices on their own websites (checked 6 Oct 2026). For the others, ask for a written quote that says what it includes before you pay a deposit.
