Two of my patients have got knee surgery in India.One was treated for acl repair surgery and the other for total knee replacement surgery.Both of them are very happy with the results.Their pain and other symptoms due to joint damage have totally gone.
Orthopaedic Surgery is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges spine surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as some of the surgery is not covered by insurance.They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.
The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your knee surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.both my patients had gone to India through the forerunners healthcare company.i strongly recommend you to talk to this company,checkout your options with surgery from them.

In mild cases it does not sugery but a period of fixation and rest plus physiotherapy. Your doctor may ask for arthroscopy, MRI, or arthrography in order to find out the exact problem. You need to see an orthopedic surgeon specilized in knee.
