Tokyo Hip Joint Clinic
About
Tokyo Hip Joint Clinic, located in Kanda-Surugadai, Chiyoda-ku, is an orthopedic clinic specializing in total hip arthroplasty and is one of the few specialized facilities in Japan adopting Western-style approaches. By focusing on select specialized medical procedures, the clinic reduces waiting times for surgery and provides highly specialized healthcare. Under the care of physicians who honed their skills at Ishibe Clinic, patient-centered treatment is provided for conditions such as osteoarthritis of the hip and acetabular dysplasia. The clinic employs minimally invasive surgery (MIS) to minimize damage to muscles and ligaments, with a comprehensive rehabilitation program before and after hospitalization. The hospital stay is 10-14 days, and an early discharge program is provided where rehabilitation begins the day after surgery. All surgeries are covered by health insurance. For single-sided surgery with 30% patient co-payment, the cost is approximately 550,000 JPY (tax included), which can be reduced to about 100,000-260,000 JPY (tax included) through the application for high-cost medical expense benefits. The clinic offers English-speaking consultations and is equipped with convenient amenities including credit card and electronic payment options, as well as barrier-free accessibility.
