The price of knee replacement surgery is very low in India as compared to USA, UK and Canada. My cousin also got her hip replacement surgery 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.


Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines. I have read a lot of their patient stories also. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as all joint surgery is not covered by insurance in USA or by NHS in the UK. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that your surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

This kind of surgery should be considered by people with severe arthritis of knee, excruciating pain and inflammation, extreme deformity of the legs and rheumatoid arthritis. Knee surgery is the orthopedic procedure performed to address and repair knee pain caused by an injury or disease. After the examination the orthopedist will determine the right procedure depending on the patient's condition, the extend of the injury, medical history, age and overall health. The procedure is aimed at replacing the affected knee with an artificial joint, which can last for 20 years or more. Surgery is done under general or epidural anesthesia.

It takes an orthopedics doctor about five hours to do this surgery. so best to search the web for all the details. It is major surgery and has a long recovery period. I have had two and it is not an easy operation, but it is worth it, if your knee is completely worn out.

When a knee replacement is performed, the bone and cartilage on the end of the thigh bone (femur) and top of the shin bone (tibia) are removed. This is performed using precise instruments to create exact surfaces to accommodate the implant. A metal and plastic knee replacement implant is then placed to function as a new knee joint. Depending on the condition of the cartilage on the undersurface of the kneecap, this may also be replaced.

Your knees work hard during your daily routine, and a knee injury can make it hard for you to perform normal tasks. If your injury is severe, you may begin to experience pain when you are sitting down or trying to sleep.

Sometimes a total knee replacement is the only option for reducing pain and restoring a normal activity level. A total knee replacement involves replacing the damaged bone and cartilage of the knee joint, which provides articulating surfaces.

The total procedure takes approximately an hour to hour and a half to perform and recovery time varies between patients.

first thing is to find an orthopedic surgeon. Never, never, ever try to do this yourself.
