When leg deformity is present it is corrected within the feasible range; extra cost depends on the site and type — no additional cost if the rotation lies in the segment being lengthened, but correcting femoral valgus during tibial lengthening does add cost. All prices are as published by the hospital on the capture date and may change.

Surgery figures are the hospital's official published prices; other costs are estimates (housing, living, assessments, mobility aids, flights). Actual totals depend on your case and the exchange rate on the day you pay.

These are DALRI's prices, not a Korean market rate. Cost varies by technique, bone segment and treatment plan. Its source table lists the first LON operation and later fixator removal separately, so KRW 52,800,000 is not the complete surgical total.
The first-operation package lists surgery, anesthesia, two implants, medicines, seven nights in a four-bed ward and selected rehabilitation services. That does not mean every service throughout recovery is included; have the hospital confirm items and quantities in the quote.
Extras may include consultation, pre-operative assessment, upgraded rooms, carers, additional physiotherapy, mobility aids, accommodation and living costs, flights and return follow-up trips. Recovery requires a surgeon's assessment; costs and duration are not identical for everyone.
THB figures in the calculators are estimates at the stated exchange rate, not the billed amount. Check the exchange rate and transfer charges on the payment date and discuss a contingency allowance with the treating team.
Do not choose on the lowest price alone. Limb lengthening is major surgery: consider surgeon qualifications, risks, rehabilitation and follow-up. Achievable lengthening and time away from work need individual assessment.
Not in the KRW 52,800,000 first-operation price. DALRI separately lists KRW 5,940,000 for the second operation, totaling KRW 58,740,000 before extras.
DALRI lists KRW 117,420,000 for femurs and KRW 131,760,000 for tibias. These are this hospital's published prices, not a market rate or an individual quote.
Add all quoted operations and implants, then assessment, extra rehabilitation, accommodation, living costs, carers, flights and follow-up according to the medical plan. No single total applies to every case.
No. The hospital lists KRW prices. THB conversions are estimates at the selected rate; check the actual rate and fees when paying.
