here a link to compare the cost of the same injury in France:

http://blogs.wefrag.com/Naudec/2011/11/05/rupture-du-ligamen...

basically it's about 7559 euros all inclusive (MRI, etc..)

In fact, in the link you provide, the 7559 euros also cover 75 sessions of physical therapy, a nurse coming at home every working day during a month and various drugs.

It would be interesting to have a global comparison (operation+therapy).

Here, the operation including all appointments before is about 5274 euros.
