Which Hospitals and Experienced Doctors Near Mulund, Bhandup, and Thane Offer Total Knee Replacement Under PM-JAY?

Dear Girish Shah ji,

Yes, total knee replacement (TKR) is covered under Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY or Maharashtra's applicable government health scheme,

At 74 years of age, you can still be considered for knee replacement, but the orthopaedic surgeon must assess your general health, heart condition, blood pressure, diabetes status and fitness for surgery.

Since you have severe pain in both knees, We recommend consulting an experienced orthopaedic and joint replacement surgeon. The doctor will review your knee X-rays and decide whether both knees need replacement or whether treatment should be planned in stages.

Which Ayushman hospitals can you consider in Thane?

• Chirayu Superspeciality Hospital, Mira Bhayandar
