Do ECHS members get cashless Total Knee Replacement Surgery at KG Hospital Coimbatore?

Dear Raani ji,

Total Knee Unilateral (TKU), also known as unicondylar knee replacement, is a surgical procedure where only the damaged part of the knee joint is replaced with an artificial implant, rather than the entire joint. Here's information regarding cashless surgery for ECHS members at KG Hospital Coimbatore

Yes, KG Hospital Coimbatore provides Total Knee Replacement (TKR/TKU) surgery and accepts ECHS beneficiaries for cashless treatment. The hospital's insurance department specifically lists ECHS among the government health schemes accepted for cashless hospitalization.

About Total Knee Unilateral (TKU) Surgery

• This procedure is typically recommended for individuals with knee pain and damage primarily affecting only one compartment of the knee, often due to osteoarthritis or injury.
  
  
• Common symptoms that might lead to a TKU include persistent knee pain, stiffness, swelling, and difficulty with daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, or standing.
  
  
• Compared to a total knee replacement, a TKU is less invasive, preserves more of the natural knee, and often allows for a quicker recovery.
