What is Joint Replacement Surgery?

Joint replacement surgery is done to replace a damaged or worn-out joint with an artificial one (implant). This implant works like your natural Joint, helping you move comfortably and live without pain.

Here are the common types:

  • Knee Replacement Surgery: The damaged parts of the knee joint are replaced with artificial components, helping reduce pain and restore movement.
  • Hip Replacement: The damaged hip joint is replaced with a new artificial ball-and-socket structure to relieve pain and improve flexibility.
  • Total Hip Replacement: Both the ball and socket of the hip joint are replaced, often recommended for severe arthritis or hip fractures.

What Factors Affect Joint Replacement Cost?

Several factors can influence the total cost of your joint replacement surgery:

  • The Joint Itself: The price changes depending on which joint needs a knee, hip, or shoulder replacement. Each has its own level of surgical complexity and cost.
  • Implant Quality: You pay more for premium materials (like titanium or ceramic), but they're worth it because they are designed to last much longer.
  • Facility Matters: Hospitals that have state-of-the-art surgical equipment and offer a wide range of services usually have higher overall charges.
  • The Surgeon's Skill: Highly sought-after orthopedic surgeons charge more because you're paying for their years of experience, precision, and proven track record.
  • Anaesthesia and Operation Duration: The type and duration of anaesthesia can affect total expenses.
  • Post-Surgery Care: Physiotherapy, medications, and follow-up visits can add to the cost.
  • City and Location: Treatment in major metro cities like Mumbai or Bangalore tends to be more expensive than in smaller towns.
