Factors that affect the
Cost of Knee
Replacement Surgery
www.vaidam.com
Implant
www.vaidam.com
The kind of implant used for knee replacements effectively raises the cost bar. There
are mainly two kinds of implants: Indian and imported.
Indian implants cost lesser than the international implants and so the quality varies
accordingly. International implants have a much longer sustenance, of more than 20
years, than the Indian ones because of which most of the doctors recommend the
former than the latter.
Although, the durability of the implants also depend on the weight, physical activity
and physical condition of the patient.

Experienced Doctors

The second factor which increases the cost of knee replacement surgeries is the
experience of the doctors.
Doctors with good qualification and experience in this field are going to charge more
than doctors with less experience.
In this case you will have to know the qualification of the doctor. An MS in orthopedic
is a mandatory qualification for a surgeon along with an MCH.

Qualification of the
Hospital

Quality of the hospital is another important factor that significantly effects the cost of the knee replacement.
Since it involves surgery, you would not take the risk of getting your knee operated in just any hospital. As a matter of fact, the hospitals holding quality and repute are going to charge more because of the infrastructure and the modern medical equipment that they use.
Always check for accreditations like NABH and JCI when you are choosing a hospital. While NABH is a constituent board whose accreditation marks the progress of health care organizations in India, JCI is the gold standard accreditation in international health care.

Health of the Patient
www.vaidam.com
The patients’ health and current age matters a lot while planning a surgery.
Knee replacement surgeries are majorly done on patients who are above 60-years-
old. Therefore, while you and your doctor plan for the knee replacement surgery, the
cost also depends upon your physical condition.
Patients with hypertension, diabetes, problems with blood count will have high cost
rates for their surgery as they intensify the complexity of it.

Kinds of Knee
Replacement
www.vaidam.com
The cost of your knee replacement surgery also depends upon whether you require a
partial knee replacement (unilateral knee surgery) or a complete knee replacement
(bilateral knee surgery).

Room Charges
www.vaidam.com
Hospital charges also include the cost of the room you will stay in after your surgery.
A single or deluxe room will cost more than shared rooms where three or more patients
are incorporated.
If you choose to stay in shared rooms then without having any lack of efficiency in the
treatment you can have a cut in your hospital bills.
