Knee Replacement (Total Knee Replacement – TKR) cost in Mumbai depends mainly on four major factors:
Implant choice,
Hospital category,
Room/bed class, and
Surgical package (surgeon fee + OT charges + consumables + physio + tests).
Across major private hospitals in Mumbai, the typical cost for TKR ranges from ₹1.5 lakh to ₹4.5 lakh per knee, depending on implant brand (Indian → imported), room selection, and hospital pricing structure.
This blog uses your updated implant cost range of ₹35,000 → ₹1,20,000 to reflect realistic options in India.
1) Cost Components of a TKR Surgery
A Total Knee Replacement bill usually includes these parts:
a) Implant / Prosthesis
The largest cost component — includes femoral component, tibial plate, insert, and patellar button (if used).
b) Surgeon & Anaesthesia Team Charges
• Surgeon fee
• Assistant surgeon
• Anaesthetist
These charges increase as you move from general ward → private → deluxe → suite.
c) Operation Theatre & Hospital Charges
• OT usage
• Sterilization
• High-grade consumables • Medicines
• ICU (if needed)
d) Room / Bed Charges
This is a major variable affecting final bill. Room category changes nursing charges and some package multipliers.
e) Investigations & Pre-op Clearance
• Blood tests
• X-rays, ECG, 2D Echo
• Physician/cardiology evaluation
f) Physiotherapy & Rehab
• In-hospital physio• Outpatient follow-ups
Hospitals often bundle these into “TKR packages,” but implant price is always a separate or upgrade item.
2) Implant Pricing (₹35,000 → ₹1,20,000)
Your updated implant range is included below:
Economy Indian implants (₹35,000 – ₹60,000)
• Entry-level
• Suitable for low-demand patients
• Limited long-term global registry data
Standard Indian / Mid-range implants (₹60,000 – ₹90,000)
• Better metallurgy and design
• Good clinical performance
• Commonly used in mid-range packages
Premium imported / proven implants (₹90,000 – ₹1,20,000)
• Long-term data and global survivorship
• Highly cross-linked polyethylene inserts
• Lower wear rates
• Greater longevity
Note: Implant brand is important, but surgeon skill and correct alignment matter even more.
3) Updated Example Cost Table (Based on ₹35k – ₹1.2L Implants)
Item | Economy Package (General Ward) | Mid-Range Package (Private AC) | Premium Package (Deluxe/Suite) |
Implant | ₹35,000 | ₹75,000 | ₹1,20,000 |
Surgeon + Anaesthesia | ₹45,000 | ₹55,000 | ₹75,000 |
OT + Hospital Charges | ₹60,000 | ₹85,000 | ₹1,25,000 |
Room Charges (2–4 days) | ₹6,000 | ₹18,000 | ₹45,000 |
Investigations & Medicines | ₹15,000 | ₹20,000 | ₹25,000 |
Physiotherapy & Follow-up | ₹8,000 | ₹10,000 | ₹12,000 |
Estimated Total | ₹1.69 lakh | ₹2.63 lakh | ₹4.02 lakh |
These totals fit well within Mumbai’s typical private hospital range of ₹1.5–4.5 lakh per knee.
4) Why Costs Differ Between Hospitals
✔ Different hospital categories
Corporate multispecialty hospitals > mid-size ortho hospitals > nursing homes in pricing.
✔ Technology differences
Robotic TKR and navigation systems add significant cost.
✔ Location cost
South Mumbai hospitals usually quote higher.
✔ Implant type & vendor contracts
Some hospitals stock more premium implants affecting baseline pricing.
✔ Package inclusions
Some include more physio, follow-ups, or more consumables.
5) How Room Selection Changes the Final Bill
Room/bed class affects:
Surgeon Fee
Higher room class → higher surgeon and assistant fees.
Nursing Charges
Private/deluxe/suite = higher tariffs.
Consumables Multiplier
Many hospitals apply a multiplier based on room class.
Room Rent (daily)
• General ward: lowest cost
• Sharing room: moderate
• Private AC > Deluxe > Suite
A 3–4 day stay in a suite can add ₹30,000–₹60,000 over a general ward stay.
6) Insurance and Cashless Facility
Insurance coverage
Most insurers cover knee replacement, but check:
• Room rent restriction
• Implant eligibility
• Co-payments
• Network hospital list
If you exceed room rent limit, proportionate deduction applies.
Government schemes
Ayushman Bharat and state schemes cover TKR at standardized package rates in empaneled hospitals.
EMI Options
Many hospitals now offer medical finance/EMI plans.
7) How to Choose Wisely (Cost vs. Outcome)
• Don’t choose implants only by price — let clinical need guide you.
• Verify implant brand and batch number before surgery.
• Ask for 2–3 hospital estimates with clear inclusions/exclusions.
• Check what is excluded: ICU, complications, extended stay.
• Understand physiotherapy schedule and charges.
• Follow surgeon advice for best longevity and function.
