Testimonials

"We will never forget the care and personal interest you show to your patients" writes Farouk. "Yesterday, Najat visited her orthopedic specialist in Iraq, whom she used to visit before going to India. He got an x-ray taken of her right knee as a matter of interest. When he saw the x-ray, he was really impressed by the masterly work you have achieved in the knee replacement procedure. We shall certainly encourage people planning to go to India for knee replacement to contact you". Mr. Farouk, Baghdad, Iraq.

Which knee is ideal for you? 

Knee replacement in India is very successful in our hands. We utilize latest techniques to ensure return of complete movement. Most patients want a flexible knee replacement. High flexion total knee replacement (TKR) is routinely performed. More. The ideal age for a conventional metal knee replacement is 65 years.

We offer durable implants with custom fit surgery for younger patients. 

If you are a woman, the Gender specific knee replacement is shaped perfectly to fit your bone structure. More

If you only have partial knee arthritis, see if you are a candidate for partial  knee replacement. The Orthoglide Knee resurfacing has been introduced for the first time in Tamil nadu by us. This is an alternative to partial or total knee replacement for partial knee osteo-arthritis. 

If you are unlucky to have developed arthritis at an young age, don’t worry! We offer long lasting knee replacements. These could last for 30 years thus avoiding a revision. For those who suffer from metal allergy, Oxinium implants are ideal. We also offer cutom fit knee to further increase the lifespan of your implant.

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS)- We routinely use a minimally invasive approach to decrease post operative pain and speed up recovery. To determine your eligibility for a knee replacement  by a MIS procedure, please mail. Patient specific instrumentation (custom fit knee) confers several advantages like better alignment, reduced operating time, less bleeding & infection risk and prolonged life. We also offer Computer assisted orthopedic surgery.

When your primary or revision prosthesis has failed, we offer revision knee replacement.

Autologous cartilage cell implantation (ACI), micro fracture are performed for young patients with cartilage defects. Other procedures are high tibial osteotomy & arthroscopic ACL reconstruction.

Cost  Knee replacement - Whereas a knee replacement costs £ 10000 in the UK and 65,000 dollars in the US, in India it costs only 7500 to 13000 USD. International patients can get a quote here. Indian patients can get a quote here. Transparency and ethics keep our costs always low.
