Hospital | One knee – General A package | Both knees – General package |
|---|---|---|
Mazumdar Shaw Medical Center | ₹1,22,470 | ₹4,15,300 (IM) |
Narayana Multispeciality Hospital, HSR Layout | ₹89,780 | ₹2,09,870 (A) |
The MSMC bilateral price refers to an IM package. The HSR Layout price refers to an A package. These packages have different medicine and consumable coverage.
Simultaneous surgery may reduce repeated admission and assessment expenses. However, it is not suitable for every patient.
The surgeon evaluates age, medical history, and overall health. Arthritis severity and recovery risks also influence the decision. Some patients may require two separate operations. Each admission may involve additional hospital charges.
Robotic-assisted knee replacement uses computer-based planning and robotic guidance to assist the surgeon during the procedure. The surgeon remains responsible for the operation.
The general reference price in Bengaluru ranges from ₹5.50 lakh to ₹6.50 lakh.
Several components may influence the robotic surgery quotation.
Robotic technology charges: Specialised equipment may involve additional fees
Planning investigations: Some systems require CT scans before surgery
Implant selection: Implant design and compatibility affect the final price
Room category: Private and premium accommodation may increase package charges
Hospital stay: Additional monitoring or recovery days may increase expenses
Rehabilitation: Extra physiotherapy sessions may be billed separately
Investigation | OPD charge |
|---|---|
TKR planning CT – one lower limb | ₹4,000 |
TKR planning CT – both lower limbs | ₹7,500 |
Not every robotic system requires the same imaging protocol. Patients should follow their surgeon's recommended investigations.
A written quotation should specify all robotic surgery charges. Patients should also confirm whether implants and rehabilitation are included.
Factor | Conventional surgery | Robotic-assisted surgery |
|---|---|---|
Planning | Imaging and conventional instruments | Digital planning and robotic guidance |

Surgical control | Surgeon-controlled | Surgeon-controlled |
Cost | Standard package charges | Additional technology charges may apply |
Recovery | Depends on patient condition | Depends on patient condition |
Both approaches can improve mobility and relieve pain. Robotic surgery does not guarantee better outcomes for everyone.
The surgeon recommends treatment based on the patient's clinical needs.
Partial knee replacement treats one damaged knee compartment. It is also called unicompartmental knee replacement.
The procedure may suit patients with localised arthritis. The remaining joint structures must be suitable.
Hospital | General-category procedure charge |
|---|---|
Mazumdar Shaw Medical Center | ₹39,200 |
Narayana Multispeciality Hospital, HSR Layout | ₹37,740 |
These amounts represent procedure or surgeon-fee entries. They are not complete surgery package prices.
Additional costs may include implants, anaesthesia, and hospitalisation. Medicines and rehabilitation may also be charged separately.

The HSR Layout first-stage general-category charge is ₹26,910. MSMC lists a first-stage surgeon's fee of ₹25,560.
These amounts do not represent complete revision surgery costs. Revision procedures may require specialised implants or bone grafting. Some patients may need more than one operation. The final cost depends on surgical complexity and treatment requirements.
The knee implant is a major treatment expense. It replaces damaged joint surfaces and supports movement. A total knee implant generally includes three main components. These are the femoral component, tibial component, and polyethylene insert. Some patients may also need a patellar component.
Implant type | Description |
|---|---|
Cobalt-chromium | Common metal alloy used in knee components |
All-polyethylene | Polyethylene tibial component without a metal backing |
High-flex | Designed to accommodate greater knee bending |
Oxidised zirconium | Material with a hard, smooth bearing surface |
Titanium-alloy-coated | Implant with a specialised surface coating |
Cemented | Fixed using surgical bone cement |
Cementless | Designed to support bone growth onto implant surfaces |
Implant selection depends on age and knee anatomy. Bone quality, activity levels, and medical history also matter.
The National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority regulates knee implant prices. Applicable price ceilings depend on implant specifications.
Implant configuration | Three components | With patellar component |
|---|---|---|
Standard cobalt-chromium | ₹67,400 | ₹72,800 |
High-flex cobalt-chromium | ₹69,700 | ₹75,200 |
Oxidised zirconium | ₹86,900 | ₹92,300 |
Titanium-alloy-coated | ₹96,600 | ₹1,02,000 |

The procedure commonly treats advanced osteoarthritis. It may also treat other severe joint conditions.
Surgery aims to reduce pain and improve mobility. It may help patients perform everyday activities more comfortably.
Doctors may recommend surgery when knee damage affects daily activities. Non-surgical treatments should also be considered before replacement.
Common indications include:
Persistent knee pain despite treatment
Difficulty walking or climbing stairs
Severe joint stiffness
Restricted knee movement
Advanced osteoarthritis
Knee deformity affecting alignment
Reduced quality of life
