What is Knee Replacement?

Knee replacement surgery removes damaged cartilage and bone from the knee joint and replaces them with artificial components. It can be performed as total, partial, unilateral, or bilateral knee replacement depending on disease severity and patient fitness.

For international patients, India offers access to orthopedic hospitals with joint replacement programs, physiotherapy teams, and international care coordinators. Final cost depends heavily on implant brand, single or both knees, hospital category, and rehabilitation duration.
