ORTHOPEDIC TREATMENT IN INDIA
Orthopedic treatment in India
Knee and hip replacement are among the most common reasons patients travel to India. Orthopedic surgeons in Delhi NCR also treat sports injuries, shoulder problems and bone deformities. We get your X-rays reviewed and send you a plan and estimate before you travel.
Medical recommendations come from your qualified treating clinicians.
Why choose India for joint replacement and orthopedic surgery
Orthopedic departments in Delhi NCR perform joint replacement every day, including robotic-assisted knee and hip surgery. Patients usually start walking within a day or two and begin physiotherapy before they leave hospital.
Because most of the cost difference between hospitals comes from the implant, we ask each hospital to state the implant brand and type in its estimate, so you can compare like with like.
Orthopedic conditions and procedures
Orthopedic teams treat arthritis, sports injuries, fractures and bone deformities. Procedures include:
- Total and partial knee replacement, including robotic-assisted surgery
- Total hip replacement and hip resurfacing
- ACL reconstruction, meniscus repair and other arthroscopy
- Shoulder replacement and rotator cuff repair
- Revision of earlier joint replacements
- Limb deformity correction and limb lengthening
Choosing an orthopedic hospital and surgeon
Ask how many joint replacements the surgeon performs each year, which implants they recommend and why, and how physiotherapy will continue once you are home.

Reports to send for a free case review
Your coordinator confirms the exact list after your enquiry. Usually it includes:
- Recent X-rays of the affected joint, standing where possible
- MRI report, if you have one
- Recent blood tests
- List of current medicines and other health conditions
Costs and length of stay
Costs depend on the procedure, the implant and your health. Most joint replacement patients spend three to five days in hospital and about two to three weeks in India. See our knee and hip replacement cost guides.
Frequently asked questions
Can both knees be replaced at the same time?⌄
Sometimes. Your surgeon decides after reviewing your X-rays and general health. Replacing both knees together can mean one hospital stay and one recovery period.
What is robotic knee replacement?⌄
The surgeon uses a robotic arm to help plan and make the bone cuts precisely. The surgeon still performs the operation. It is available at several Delhi NCR hospitals.
How long after knee or hip replacement can I fly?⌄
Most patients fly home about two to three weeks after surgery, with advice on preventing blood clots during the flight.
Will I need physiotherapy at home?⌄
Yes. Your physiotherapist gives you an exercise plan, and we help you stay in touch with your surgeon for follow-up.
