Total Knee Replacement Cost in India

The cost of Total Knee Replacement in India typically ranges from $3,500 to $7,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.

A total knee replacement resurfaces the worn ends of the thigh bone and shin bone with metal and plastic parts. The cost depends on:

• Implant brand: prices are capped in India.
• Robotic or conventional surgery
• One or both knees
• Hospital stay and physiotherapy

Knee replacement is considered for severe arthritis pain and stiffness after non-surgical treatments, such as exercise, weight loss and pain relief, have not helped. If only one part of the knee is worn, a partial knee replacement may be an option.

University Hospital Southampton's leaflet reports that about 95% of knee replacements last at least 10 years and about 90% last 20 years. Deep infection affects about 1 to 2 in 100. Some people have ongoing stiffness or pain.

Most patients go home the same or next day. A physiotherapist sees you within 24 hours. The UHS leaflet notes most people return to desk work in 4 to 6 weeks, and improvement continues for up to 18 months.
