There are any number of Doctors performing Knee replacements in India under diverse conditions.
The key factors for choosing a Doctor who can perform as knee replacement are a) The surgeon should be well qualified with a Post graduate degree from the UK or USA and the FRCS.
b) Proof of training in the West
c) Knowledge and experience of latest techniques

These are 1) Less invasive surgery in which the size of the incision is downsized.
2)High flex knee replacement which allows bending upto 155 degrees.
3) Laminar air flow theatre to reduce the chance of infection
You can request testimonials from the doctor's patients to gain more confidence.
In Chennai, Dr.A.K.Venkatachalam, a consultant orthopedic surgeon at the Venkataeswara hospital, www.venkataeswarahospitals.com has been getting good results with the High flex knee. Many Indians and foriegners have benefitted from his expertise which is 23 years of age.

The cost of knee joint replacement surgery is very low in India as compared to USA, UK and Canada. You can get the surgery done there in a fraction of cost of what would you pay in USA or private UK

There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges orthopaedic 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 all surgery is not covered by insurance or by NHS in the UK.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 joint 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.

My cousin also got her hip replacement surgery for in India through the forerunners healthcare .She is more than very happy with the results. She is totally pain free now. She just paid 25% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company. Hope this helps.
