Orthopaedic surgeons in India review your X-rays, MRI reports and general health before they send a written quote. For joint replacement, the implant changes the price, so check which implant each quote includes. Physiotherapy matters, both in hospital and after you go home. If both knees need surgery, the surgeon decides whether to do them together or at different times. After joint replacement, most people stay in India for a few weeks before they fly home. The treating doctor decides which treatment is right for you.

Questions Families Ask About Joints and Bones
How Long Should We Plan to Be in India After Joint Surgery?
Each treatment page here shows the range the hospitals we work with quote, and the hospital gives you its own figure for your case. Plan for the check-ups and physiotherapy after you leave hospital, not for the operation alone.
What Should I Send Before Asking for a Quote?
Your X-rays, your MRI reports if you have them, and details of your general health, including any long-term conditions and the medicines you take.
Will I Need Physiotherapy, and Where?
Usually both: in India after the operation, and at home afterwards. Ask the hospital what its quote includes and what you will have to arrange at home, so that the cost at home is not a surprise.
Can I Have Both Joints Done on the Same Trip?
Sometimes, and it is the surgeon's decision after examining you. Ask what it would mean for your recovery, for how long you stay, and for the quote.
What If I Have Diabetes or High Blood Pressure?
Tell the hospital when you send your reports. Other conditions change how a team plans an operation and how long you stay, so leaving them out only moves the surprise to the day you arrive.
Do You Arrange Treatment for an Injury That Is Not Listed Here?
Ask us. The treatments listed here are the ones we have written pages for; hospitals quote for more than that. Send your diagnosis in your own words and a coordinator will tell you whether we can help.
