Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for Knee Replacement Surgery. These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
Knee replacement surgery, or knee arthroplasty, is an operation that removes damaged cartilage and a thin layer of bone from the surfaces of the knee joint and replaces them with metal and durable plastic implants. It is one of the most commonly performed orthopaedic procedures worldwide and is recommended when severe arthritis — most often osteoarthritis — has not responded adequately to physiotherapy, medications, or injections. The procedure may involve replacing the entire joint surface (total knee replacement), only one damaged compartment (partial or unicompartmental replacement), or both knees in a single admission (bilateral replacement). Most patients notice significant pain relief and improved mobility within weeks of surgery, though full recovery and strength-building typically take three to six months. Modern implants are designed to last 15 to 20 years or more.
The entire surface of one knee joint is replaced with metal and plastic implants, restoring smooth movement and eliminating bone-on-bone pain.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: X-rays of the affected knee (AP, lateral, skyline views), CBC, KFT, LFT, HbA1c, ECG, PT/INR, 2D Echocardiography (if cardiac history). Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $5,000 – $7,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~5 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~15 days recommended
Total stay: approx 22 days
A computer navigation system guides the surgeon to align the implant with greater precision during a single-knee replacement, without robotic arms.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: X-rays of the affected knee (AP, lateral, skyline views), CBC, KFT, LFT, HbA1c, ECG, PT/INR, 2D Echocardiography (if cardiac history). Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $5,000 – $7,500
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~5 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~15 days recommended
Total stay: approx 22 days
Only the damaged section of the knee is resurfaced, leaving the healthy cartilage and ligaments intact — suitable when arthritis is confined to one compartment.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: X-rays of the affected knee (AP, lateral, skyline views), MRI of the knee (to confirm single-compartment disease), CBC, KFT, LFT, HbA1c, ECG, PT/INR. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $5,000 – $7,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~4 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~12 days recommended
Total stay: approx 18 days
Both knee joints are replaced in a single surgical admission, so the patient undergoes one anaesthetic event and one combined recovery period.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: X-rays of both knees (AP, lateral, skyline views), CBC, KFT, LFT, HbA1c, ECG, PT/INR, 2D Echocardiography (mandatory given higher surgical load). Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $8,500 – $11,500
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~6 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~18 days recommended
Total stay: approx 26 days
A failed or worn-out previous knee implant is removed and replaced with specialised revision components, a more complex operation than a first-time replacement.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,500
Typical tests for this variant: X-rays of the affected knee (AP, lateral, skyline views), CT scan of the knee (for bone stock and implant assessment), Joint aspiration / synovial fluid analysis (to rule out infection), CRP and ESR (infection markers), CBC, KFT, LFT, HbA1c, ECG, PT/INR. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $7,500 – $14,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~3 days
Hospitalisation: ~7 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~21 days recommended
Total stay: approx 31 days
