Knee Replacement Hospital in Mumbai

Knee replacement surgery, also called knee arthroplasty, removes the worn surfaces of the knee joint and replaces them with metal and plastic implant parts. It is done to relieve arthritis pain and improve movement, and usually takes 1 to 2 hours.

Knee replacement is recommended when arthritis pain affects daily life and medicines, physiotherapy, braces and injections no longer help. Common signs are pain at rest or at night, trouble walking or climbing stairs, stiffness and a knee that bends out of shape.

Searching for the best knee surgeon in Mumbai gives long lists, so use clear checks instead: M.S. Orthopaedics with fellowship training in joint replacement, a valid medical council registration, a hospital with a 24x7 ICU and operation theatre, and a surgeon who explains non-surgical options first. At Kapadia Hospital, knee replacement is led by Dr. Rahul Rajan Modi, M.S. Orthopaedics (Gold Medalist).

No single hospital is right for every patient, so check the facts: NABH accreditation, a 24x7 ICU and operation theatre, physiotherapy from the day after surgery, a written cost estimate and cashless insurance support. Kapadia Multispeciality Hospital in Goregaon West is NABH accredited, has served Mumbai since 1987 and offers total, partial and robotic knee replacement.

Total knee replacement for one knee in Mumbai costs between ₹1.5 lakh and ₹4.5 lakh, and both knees in one sitting between ₹3.5 lakh and ₹8 lakh, depending on the implant, room category, hospital stay and insurance cover. Robotic knee replacement costs more. These figures are indicative only; your written estimate from Kapadia Hospital is final.

Most patients stand and take a few steps with a walker within 24 to 48 hours of surgery. By 3 to 6 weeks most people walk without a walker and climb stairs slowly. Full recovery usually takes 3 to 6 months.

Yes. Both knees can be replaced in one sitting, called bilateral knee replacement, if you are fit enough for a longer operation. It means one hospital stay and one recovery period, but the first weeks are harder. Your surgeon and anaesthetist will check your general health before advising it.

Modern knee implants last 15 to 20 years or more in most patients, depending on weight, activity level and bone quality. A yearly check-up with an X-ray helps the surgeon spot loosening or wear early.
