Knee Replacement in India

The knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, replaces the damaged bone and cartilage of the knee joint with artificial prosthesis called implants to provide a new healthy joint. It is an orthopedic surgery often performed to relieve pain and disability from degenerative, most commonly osteoarthritis.

Knee replacement surgery can be unilateral (involving one side or a single side) or can be bilateral (involving both the sides, double side, or two sides).

Patients eligible for this orthopedic surgery have moderate to severe arthritis in the knee, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis, that causes pain and interferes with daily living.

Knee replacement in India can cost from $6,000. The actual cost will depend on the type of surgery you need, the hospital you choose, and your Surgeon's fee. In addition, you will also need to factor in the cost of post-operative care and rehabilitation. However, knee replacement surgery is typically covered by health insurance plans in India. As a result, if you are considering knee replacement surgery, you should first check with your insurance provider to see if the procedure is covered. Additionally, some hospitals offer financing options for patients who need knee replacement surgery but cannot afford the upfront cost.
