Estimated prices · Updated June 2026. Actual costs vary by provider and location.
Knee replacement (total knee arthroplasty) replaces a knee joint damaged by arthritis or injury with a metal-and-plastic implant to restore pain-free movement. It is one of the most common orthopedic surgeries and usually involves a short hospital stay followed by several weeks of physical therapy. India's accredited orthopedic centers use the same implant brands (Zimmer, Stryker, DePuy) and techniques as US hospitals at a fraction of the cost, which is why many Americans travel for it.
