Herniated Disc
Most herniated discs improve without surgery; the hard questions are which ones won't, and whether an operation is being offered too early or too late. Beijing Jishuitan Hospital — China's leading orthopedic center — offers spine MRI from about $250 and written surgical second opinions from $400.
Scoliosis
Scoliosis — sideways curvature of the spine — ranges from mild curves needing only monitoring to severe deformity needing corrective surgery. Beijing's top spine deformity teams at Jishuitan and Peking University Third Hospital evaluate curves with full-spine imaging from about $250.
Knee Osteoarthritis
Worn knee cartilage causes pain and stiffness that ladder up from exercise and injections to partial or total knee replacement. Beijing Jishuitan Hospital runs one of China's highest-volume joint replacement programs — knee MRI from about $250 and a written 'do I need a new knee?' opinion from $400.
Hip Osteoarthritis & Osteonecrosis
Hip pain from worn cartilage or osteonecrosis (bone death from lost blood supply) often ends in hip replacement — one of medicine's most successful operations. Beijing Jishuitan and China-Japan Friendship hospitals are national leaders, the latter famous specifically for osteonecrosis care.
ACL Injury
A torn ACL destabilizes the knee; active patients usually need arthroscopic reconstruction. Peking University Third Hospital's Institute of Sports Medicine is China's national leader — team doctor to Olympic athletes — with knee MRI from about $250 to confirm the tear and plan surgery.
