Understanding Knee Replacement Surgery

Knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace the weight-bearing surfaces of the knee joint to relieve pain and disability. It is most commonly performed for osteoarthritis, but may also be performed for other knee diseases.

During the procedure, the damaged cartilage and bone are removed and replaced with artificial components made of metal alloys, high-grade plastics, and polymers. India offers world-class knee replacement surgery with advanced techniques and experienced orthopedic surgeons.

With state-of-the-art facilities, robotic-assisted surgery options, and comprehensive rehabilitation programs, patients can expect excellent outcomes at a fraction of the cost compared to Western countries.
