Knee Replacement Cost in Delhi (₹1.8–3.5 lakh)

A transparent guide by Dr. Neelabh

Choosing knee replacement is a big step toward reducing pain and restoring mobility. If cost is your key question, this page gives you a clear, upfront view of what influences the price and what’s included—so you can plan with confidence.

What determines the final cost?

The total cost is a bundle of several components that ensure safety, quality, and long-term outcomes.

1) Type of implant

The implant is the single biggest cost driver. We use high-quality, proven implants from leading global manufacturers—ranging from standard cobalt-chromium to advanced options like oxidized zirconium. We’ll help you choose the best fit for your age, bone quality, activity level, and budget.

2) Hospital category and room type

Surgeries are performed at NABH/JCI-accredited centres in Delhi. The hospital’s infrastructure, infection-control standards, and your chosen room category (private/semi-private) affect the overall package.

3) Surgical complexity

Factors like severe deformity, osteoporosis, previous surgeries, or a revision (replacing an old implant) can increase operative time and resources, impacting cost.

4) Post-operative care and rehab

Good outcomes depend on comprehensive post-op care. Our packages include a defined hospital stay, essential in-patient medications/consumables, and structured in-hospital physiotherapy.

5) Technology and add-ons

Robotic/computer-assisted navigation, cementless implants, and bilateral (both knees) in one sitting can change the final estimate. We’ll advise if these add meaningful benefit in your case.

All-inclusive knee replacement packages

Estimated cost range (primary unilateral)

₹1.8–3.5 lakh for a single knee (primary unilateral). Bilateral (both knees) in one sitting is generally more cost-effective than two separate surgeries.

Common questions about knee replacement cost

Is knee replacement covered by health insurance? Yes, most policies cover knee replacement. We assist with documentation and cashless processing where hospital–insurer tie-ups exist. Bring your policy details for pre-authorization.

Why not just choose the cheapest option? Surgeon experience, implant quality, and hospital infection-control standards strongly influence long-term outcomes and the risk of revision. It’s wiser to balance cost with quality.

Single vs. both knees—what’s the price difference? Bilateral replacement in one sitting is generally more economical than two separate admissions due to shared OT, anesthesia, and hospital stay costs. Suitability depends on your health profile.

Do you offer EMI/financing? Many partner hospitals provide EMI/financing options. Ask our team to guide you to current plans.

How long is the hospital stay and recovery? Typical stay is 3–5 days. Most patients stand within 24 hours, walk with support in 1–2 days, return to desk work in 2–4 weeks, and resume more active roles in 6–8 weeks (varies by individual).

Is robotic/computer-assisted surgery worth it? It can improve precision in select cases. We’ll advise if you’ll benefit; it may add to the package price.
