Orthopaedics

Joint replacement and spine surgery in India

Hip and knee replacement and spinal fusion are among the most common reasons patients travel to India. Hospitals here perform them every day, and recovery can be planned around a stay near the hospital.

Indicative ranges in US dollars, not an offer. Other currencies are approximate. The price depends on your case, the hospital, the implant or technique and the room you choose. Recovery times are typical and your doctor will advise you. Your itemised quote shows exactly what is included.

Who this may suit

  • Long-standing joint pain that limits walking, sleep or work
  • A surgeon abroad has advised surgery and you want to compare options
  • You can travel and stay several weeks for surgery and early rehabilitation

Only a doctor can say whether a treatment is right for you. That is why a clinician reviews every case.

Good questions to ask any hospital

  • Which implant will be used, and who makes it?
  • How many of these operations does the surgeon do each year?
  • What physiotherapy is included, and for how long?
  • When can I safely fly home?
