The cost of revision ACL reconstruction in Gurgaon typically ranges from $1,900 to $7,000 USD (about ₹1.80 lakh to ₹6.64 lakh), depending on the hospital, room category and type of procedure.

A typical estimate for revision ACL reconstruction in Gurgaon is around $3,500 (about ₹3.32 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 $1,900 (about ₹1.80 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.

When comparing Gurgaon packages for revision ACL reconstruction, check whether each quote includes:

• Surgeon and anaesthetist fees
• Operating theatre or procedure room
• Implants, plates or screws
• Physiotherapy
• Hospital stay and room category
• Medicines and consumables
• Follow-up visits before you fly home

Revision ACL reconstruction repeats ligament reconstruction in the knee when an earlier ACL graft has failed or torn again, and is normally more complex than the first operation.

The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust reports ACL graft failure or re-tear in about 5 to 12%, with about 85% of re-ruptures within two years, and tunnel position and fresh injury are other causes.

Revision is commonly more complex because earlier tunnels, screws and graft must be dealt with, and if the tunnels are enlarged, bone grafting may come first with the new reconstruction later.

The trust states that ACL surgery takes about 45 minutes to one and a half hours, that driving is normally possible after six weeks, and that the graft takes six to nine months to heal.

Deep infection and blood clots are each reported in fewer than 1%.

Flying home: aviation guidance sets no single wait for bone and joint operations, but leg surgery makes clots on long flights more likely, so ask how to prevent them; UK Civil Aviation Authority medical guidance suggests 24 to 48 hours after a plaster cast.

A Gurgaon quote for revision ACL reconstruction is normally made up of these items:

• Tests before the operation: X-rays, other scans and an anaesthetic check.
• Theatre and anaesthetic: charged mainly by operating time.
• Implant choice: brand and type of joint, plate or screws.
• Rehabilitation: physiotherapy on the ward and once you leave.
• Cause of failure: re-tear or tunnel problem.
• Stages: one or two if bone grafting is required.
• Graft: hamstring, patellar, quadriceps or donor.
• Physiotherapy: for up to a year.

Ask each Gurgaon hospital for an itemised estimate showing any implant, surgeon, theatre, stay and physiotherapy, so offers can be compared fairly.

Orthopaedic departments in Gurgaon cover joint replacement, arthroscopy and trauma, usually with in-house physiotherapy so that patients start moving soon after surgery.

NABH, the hospital accreditation board of the Quality Council of India whose standards carry ISQua accreditation, sets the national benchmark for hospitals, and its online directory shows whether a Gurgaon hospital's accreditation is still current.

Gurgaon is part of Delhi NCR, where India's first hospital to gain Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation did so in 2005, and JCI publishes a searchable list of the organisations it currently accredits.

Gurgaon sits on the south-western edge of Delhi, a short road transfer from Indira Gandhi International Airport, which is the usual arrival point for international patients.
