Case review
Overview
What is total knee replacement?
TKR replaces the worn surfaces of the knee with an implant so walking and sleep can return. India is a high-volume setting for primary and revision knees. We quote the implant, cement, and typical ward nights — and we plan physio so you are not learning stairs on the morning of a long-haul flight.
Pathways
Knee pathways
- 01
Primary TKR
One knee, standard alignment or robotic assistance where the centre lists it.
- 02
Bilateral
Both knees in one stay when fitness allows — or staged if safer.
- 03
Partial / uni
When only one compartment is worn and the surgeon agrees.
- 04
Revision
A painful or failed implant. This is a different quote and a different list.
Care desk
How MedMax runs a knee replacement case
You do not need a finished hospital shortlist to start. Share what you have — letters, scans, or a short note — and a care manager maps the next clinical step for total knee replacement before any report leaves MedMax.
- 01
Same-day acknowledgement, specialist view targeted within two business days
- 02
Hospital shortlist by volume and accreditation for this pathway — not a brochure directory
- 03
Written quote with theatre, implants or drugs, ICU nights, and attendant stay listed
- 04
Visa letter, pickup, and Recovery nights only after you approve a match
Why this pathway
Why replace the knee?
01
Bone-on-bone arthritis will not reverse with another injection year.
02
Implant choice changes cost and revision options — it should be written.
03
Physio in the first fortnight is part of the operation’s result.
Timing
When to start a file
- 01
X-ray shows advanced arthritis and walking or sleep has collapsed
- 02
You have a TKR quote at home with a long wait or an unnamed implant
- 03
A previous knee replacement needs revision
After the theatre
Aftercare
- Walk the day the surgeon allows; the physio sheet travels with you.
- Clot prevention and a Recovery week are common before long-haul.
- Staple or suture removal is booked before you leave or handed to a named clinician at home.
Stay on
Need nights after discharge?
Guest house, service apartment, or a hotel near campus — arranged as Recovery, not a tourist add-on.
What does knee replacement cost in India?
The figure on this page is an indicative starting band, not a brochure package. After a specialist reads your reports we write a quote with theatre, implant or consumables, ICU and ward nights, and attendant stay listed separately. Estimates are marked as estimates.
How soon can we travel?
Most planned cases list a theatre window in weeks, not months — once reports are complete and you have approved a hospital. Visa timing depends on your passport and mission; we issue the invitation after you accept a quote.
Will the hospital see my reports before I say yes?
No. Files stay with MedMax until you approve a match. You can stop after a second opinion.
Can a family member stay with me?
Yes. Attendant beds and nearby stay are listed on the quote. After discharge we can arrange a Recovery stay if you need more days before the flight home.
Is this page medical advice?
This page is guidance for families planning care in India. Diagnosis and treatment decisions remain with your clinicians.
