Orthopedic Surgery
OverviewOrthopedic Surgery covers the surgical decisions that matter most for Indian patients — total knee and hip replacement (India performs 200,000+ knee replacements annually and the number is climbing), arthroscopic procedures for meniscus and ligament injuries, fracture fixation, and spine surgery. Our orthopedic surgeons and editorial team explain how to know when surgery is genuinely indicated rather than pushed, how to choose a surgeon and hospital (volume matters — surgeons doing 100+ procedures a year have lower complication rates), what modern implants and minimally-invasive techniques change and don't change, what realistic recovery timelines look like, and how to prepare your body and home before the operation so the outcome is as good as the surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Expert answers from our medical team
When should I actually consider knee or hip replacement?
When pain and functional limitation are significant enough to affect daily life, when X-rays confirm advanced joint destruction, when conservative treatment (physiotherapy, weight loss, medications, injections) has been tried for 6-12 months without adequate relief, and when your age and health support 15-25 years of implant benefit. Age alone isn't a barrier — otherwise-healthy 70-80 year-olds do very well. The decision is a shared one; a surgeon who pushes surgery on the first visit without discussing alternatives is a red flag.
How much does knee or hip replacement cost in India?
In India, expect ₹1.5-3.5 lakh for a total knee replacement at a good private hospital (implant included), ₹2-4.5 lakh for hip replacement. Government hospitals (AIIMS, PGIMER, state medical colleges) cost significantly less. Robotic-assisted surgery adds ₹50k-1 lakh. Insurance covers most planned joint replacements — check pre-authorization requirements. Cheaper isn't better; surgeon experience and implant quality drive long-term outcomes more than the initial price tag.
How do I choose the right surgeon and hospital?
Surgeon and hospital volume matter more than any single feature. Surgeons who perform 100+ joint replacements per year have lower complication rates and better long-term outcomes than low-volume surgeons. Ask: how many of this specific procedure do you do per year? What's your infection and revision rate? What implant brand and why? Is post-op physiotherapy included or extra? Get a second opinion for any elective joint replacement — standard practice, not distrust.
What does recovery from knee replacement actually look like?
Modern knee replacement: standing and walking with support within 24 hours, discharge in 3-5 days, walking without support in 4-6 weeks, most daily activities by 3 months, near-full recovery at 6-12 months. Hip replacement recovery is often faster. Full outcome depends heavily on pre-op fitness and post-op physiotherapy commitment. Squatting, sitting cross-legged, and full deep knee bend are typically limited long-term after knee replacement — factor into daily-life planning if you sit on the floor a lot.
What is arthroscopy and when is it useful?
Arthroscopy is keyhole surgery through small incisions using a camera and specialized instruments. Common indications: meniscal tears (torn cartilage in the knee), ACL reconstruction after ligament tears, shoulder rotator cuff repairs, removing loose bodies from a joint. Recovery is faster than open surgery (usually weeks, not months), but it's not a magic fix — arthritis-related pain rarely improves with arthroscopy alone. A good surgeon distinguishes mechanical problems (arthroscopy helps) from arthritis (won't help) before recommending it.
