Around 2k$, but I'm from Russia, and I don't know if the prices differ for international patients
You should probably post the prices here once you get a reply, as I'm curious myself at this point
I sent Leonid Solomin, he sent me a complicated document, below is a copy/past to his response:
Hello, dear friend!
Our task is to assist you during treatment. You may use this file for approximate calculation of the cost of your future treatment.
This scheme lets you to calculate many variants of treatment with different types, durations and prices according to your wishes and capabilities. After you determine the main details, we may perform the approximate calculations for you.
For that, we will need:
1. type of clinic, chosen by you (private or municipal)
2. type of lengthening, chosen by you (conventional Ilizarov, LON, LATN)
3. duration of staying in clinic after surgery
4. duration of staying in St.-Petersburg after surgery
5. conditions of your visa (duration, type)
6. how often do you plan to use trainer and assistant for rebandages?
There are our recommendations in this file about these questions. Nevertheless, we will pay attention to your decisions and will take if it is possible.

1. We don't convert cost to the currency of patient's country. You may use Internet-converters from sites of the Russian banks. For example – Sberbank (
http://www.sberbank.ru/en/individualclients).
2. We don't provide service and assistance to convert patient's money to rubles. Assistants can take you to the bank, you've asked about, and back.
3. At present time clinics don’t provide visa extending. Preparing of invitation is possible in private clinics (patient’s x-ray pictures are needed for that).
For getting visa and registration, you may ask special company:
Phone central +41 41 410 61 61
Phone direct +41 79 690 20 16
Mail: michael@bornpower.com and info@visaworld.ie
Skype: bornpower_gmbh
4. In case of patient leaves Saint-Petersburg before frames removing, he should pay for the frames. Cost of the frame is calculated for each patient individual. Approximate cost of 2 frames is 50.000. After getting frames back the money will be sent to the patient back.
5. To the house cleaner the cost of food is not included in a payment (the approximate cost of food you may look on the website
https://www.okeydostavka.ru/spb2).
6. We assume that it will be cheaper to get a second-hand wheelchair, office chair, walkers and crutches.
7. The approximate cost of drugs is specified. You may look on the website
http://www.eapteka.ru/8. We would recommend to take quantity of money 20% more than calculated.
9. Surgery + 10 days in clinic (minimum) in private clinic = 296.000 + 8.532x10 = 381.320; in municipal clinic = 148.000 + 4.400x10 = 192.000
10. We can perform operations on 2 segments at once.
11. The cost of additional small surgery – frames reassembling or achilles tendons release – 75.000 in municipal clinic and 130.000 in private clinic (approximately).
12. In case of complication additional operation costs approximately as much as primary.
13. The advance payment is 200.000 + cost of nails (if nails are needed) in municipal clinic (in cash) and 400.000 + cost of nails (if nails are needed) in private clinic (in cash). Private clinic can provide the bills (papers about payment).
14. We can't provide preoperative consultation on Saturdays and Sundays.

16. The minimum recommend term of stay in St. Petersburg after operation – 2-3 weeks.
17. The minimal approximate cost of taxi for the patients with a wheelchair or crutches – 30 per 1 km and 5 for 1 min of waiting. The minimal approximate cost of transfer for the patients in a wheel bed – 2.500 per an hour.
18. Cost of 1 assistant – 700 per an hour.
19. There is no English-speaker staph in municipal clinic. There is English-speaker physiotherapist in municipal and private clinics.
20. We assume that it is possible to rent apartment cheaper than 30.000 in a month. In this case, it will be probable not very clean and convenient apartment. In this case, we can’t assist in renting.
21. In case of apartment renting payment of the realtor - 100% of payment of a rent in a month. In addition, the client posts bail of 100% of payment of a rent in a month. Thus, the first sum for payment is equal to payment for 3 months. The payment in cash acceptable only. We recommend cleaning the apartment every 2 weeks (minimum) and before leaving.
22. We ask you to take into account that the main clinic for foreign patients is private. In case of accident most likely you will get treatment in private clinic.
23. The possibility of LON or LATN we can determine after x-ray examinations only. DICOM format of x-ray pictures is needed.
24. LATN – lengthening and then nailing. LON – lengthening over nail.
25. About assistance, trainings, rebandages, trips: make the plans in 2-3 days beforehand, please
