What is Knee Replacement?
Knee replacement replaces the worn surfaces of the knee with metal and plastic parts. It relieves pain and stiffness from severe arthritis when other treatments no longer help.
Knee Replacement cost
The price depends on the hospital, the surgeon's experience, the anaesthesia used, the length of the hospital stay and the tests needed before surgery. Each doctor below shows a starting price; the final price is confirmed after the consultation.
Benefits
- Less knee pain
- Better movement and walking
- Long-lasting joint, often 15 to 20 years
Possible side effects
- Pain and swelling while healing

Most side effects are mild and temporary. Your surgeon will explain the risks for your case.
