A typical estimate for high-flex knee replacement in New Delhi is around $5,000 (about ₹4.74 lakh). What you pay depends mainly on your own case. If a standard implant is used and you stay in a shared room, your bill is likely to be closer to $4,400 (about ₹4.17 lakh). It is likely to be nearer $7,000 (about ₹6.64 lakh) if a specialised implant is used, both sides are treated, it is a repeat operation or you choose a private room.

A high-flex knee replacement uses an implant designed to allow deeper bending than a standard one, while the operation is the same as a total knee replacement.

High-flex describes the implant design rather than a different operation, and how far the knee bends afterwards also depends on movement before surgery, physiotherapy and body weight.

Ask the surgeon what range of bend is realistic for you before choosing a design.

University Hospital Southampton's patient leaflet reports that around 95% of knee replacements are still working after 10 years and around 90% after 20 years, and that deep infection affects about 1 to 2 in 100.

Physiotherapy begins within 24 hours, and most people can drive again after two to six weeks.

Fit-to-fly window: no single aviation figure covers bone and joint surgery, but leg operations raise clot risk on long flights, so ask about clot prevention; UK Civil Aviation Authority guidance for health professionals advises 24 to 48 hours after a plaster cast.

A Delhi estimate for high-flex knee replacement is usually built from these parts:

• Tests before surgery: X-rays, scans and fitness checks.
• Operating theatre and anaesthesia: billed largely by time in theatre.
• Implants: type and brand of joint, plates or screws.
• Implant: brand and design.
• Knees treated: one or both.
• Stay: often one to three days.
• Physiotherapy: after surgery.

The NPPA has capped the prices of knee replacement implants since 2017 and most recently extended the cap to 15 November 2026, so check whether a cap still applies and ask for the implant's price on the bill.

Ask each Delhi hospital for an itemised quote showing the implant, surgeon, theatre, stay and physiotherapy, so that offers can be compared fairly.

Delhi NCR has a wide base of orthopaedic departments covering joint replacement, arthroscopy and trauma, usually with physiotherapy on site for early mobilisation.

India's national hospital standard is set by the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH), a constituent board of the Quality Council of India whose standards are accredited by ISQua; you can check a Delhi hospital's current NABH status on the NABH website.

Delhi has a long record with international accreditation: India's first hospital to receive Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation, in July 2005, is in New Delhi, and JCI keeps a public list of accredited organisations.

Ask the hospital's international patient desk, where one exists, whether it provides the hospital letter for the e-Medical visa application, airport pickup, interpreters and help with nearby accommodation.
