What are the Types of Orthopaedic Surgery and their Costs?
Orthopaedic surgery focuses on treating conditions related to bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and the overall musculoskeletal system. From fractures and dislocations to arthritis and sports injuries, orthopaedic procedures help reduce pain, restore mobility, and improve quality of life.
The cost of orthopaedic surgery in India depends on the type of procedure, hospital, surgeon’s expertise, implant choice, recovery needs, and whether the patient requires one-sided or bilateral treatment.
Joint Replacement / Arthroplasty: Types and Cost
Joint replacement, also known as arthroplasty, is performed when a damaged joint surface is replaced with an artificial prosthesis. The implant may be made of metal, plastic, ceramic, or a combination of materials. These prosthetic joints are designed to mimic the function of a natural joint.
| Procedure | Description | Estimated Cost in India | Estimated Cost in USD |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hip Replacement Surgery | Hip replacement surgery is performed when the hip joint is damaged due to conditions such as osteoarthritis or osteonecrosis. The damaged or arthritic hip joint is replaced with a prosthetic joint to reduce pain and improve movement. |
Bilateral total hip replacement: INR 5,00,000 to INR 5,50,000
Single total hip replacement: INR 3,00,000 to INR 4,00,000 Implant cost may be additional. |
Bilateral hip replacement: USD 8,500 to USD 10,000
Single hip replacement: USD 5,350 to USD 7,000 |
| Knee Replacement Surgery | Knee replacement surgery is commonly performed for patients with severe knee pain, disability, or advanced arthritis such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. The damaged knee joint is replaced with an artificial joint to improve mobility and reduce pain. |
Bilateral total knee replacement: INR 5,00,000 to INR 5,50,000
Single total knee replacement: INR 3,00,000 to INR 4,00,000 Implant cost may be additional. |
Bilateral knee replacement: USD 8,500 to USD 10,000
Single knee replacement: USD 5,350 to USD 7,000 |
Ligament and Sports Injury Surgery: Types and Cost
Sports injuries and ligament tears are common in athletes and active individuals. Surgical treatment may be recommended when the injury affects stability, movement, or daily function.
| Procedure | Description | Estimated Cost in India | Estimated Cost in USD |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Surgery | ACL injuries are commonly seen in athletes. The ligament in the knee may get damaged due to excessive stress during sports or sudden movement. ACL surgery replaces the torn ligament with a tissue graft to restore knee stability. | Varies by case | Varies by case |
Arthroscopy: Types and Cost
Arthroscopy, also known as keyhole surgery, is a minimally invasive procedure. A thin surgical instrument is inserted through a small incision to diagnose or treat joint problems.
Arthroscopy may be used for:
- Diagnosing joint problems such as arthritis, torn ligaments, or cartilage damage
- Repairing torn ligaments or removing loose cartilage
- Treating arthritis-related joint concerns
- Joint aspiration or arthrocentesis to remove fluid from joints and reduce pain or inflammation
| Procedure | Description | Estimated Cost in India | Estimated Cost in USD |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ankle Arthroscopy | Ankle arthroscopy is used to diagnose or treat ankle joint problems through a minimally invasive approach. | INR 3,00,000 to INR 5,00,000 | USD 4,500 to USD 5,500 |
| Elbow Arthroscopy | Elbow arthroscopy is performed to diagnose or treat problems affecting the elbow joint, including cartilage damage or loose fragments. | INR 3,00,000 to INR 5,00,000 | USD 4,500 to USD 5,500 |
| Shoulder Arthroscopy | Shoulder arthroscopy is used to treat shoulder joint conditions such as ligament injury, cartilage damage, or other joint problems. | INR 3,00,000 to INR 5,00,000 | USD 4,500 to USD 5,500 |
Joint Revision Surgery: Types and Cost
Joint revision surgery is performed when an earlier joint replacement implant does not function properly or its performance reduces over time. In this procedure, the previously inserted joint implant is replaced with a new one to improve function and extend the patient’s quality of life.
| Procedure | Description | Estimated Cost in India | Estimated Cost in USD |
|---|---|---|---|
| Joint Revision Surgery | This procedure replaces a previously inserted prosthetic joint with a new implant when the old implant is damaged, loose, worn out, or not functioning properly. | INR 3,50,000 to INR 4,50,000 | USD 6,000 to USD 8,000 |
Foot and Ankle Surgery: Types and Cost
Most foot and ankle problems are short-term and may include sprains or strains. However, fractures, severe pain, deformities, or injuries that do not heal naturally may require surgical treatment.
| Procedure | Description | Estimated Cost in India | Estimated Cost in USD |
|---|---|---|---|
| Foot and Ankle Surgery | Foot and ankle surgery may be required for fractures, severe injuries, deformities, or persistent pain that does not improve with non-surgical treatment. | INR 3,00,000 to INR 4,00,000 | USD 5,500 to USD 7,000 |

Orthopedic surgery cost depends mainly on the type of procedure and the use of implants. Joint replacement surgeries involving prosthetic implants are usually more expensive.

More about this treatment
Orthopedic surgery involves the diagnosis and surgical treatment of disorders affecting the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. It is recommended when non-surgical treatments such as medication or physiotherapy do not provide relief.
Common orthopedic procedures include joint replacement surgeries (knee, hip, shoulder), fracture repair, arthroscopy, ligament reconstruction, spine surgery, and treatment for sports injuries. These procedures help restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve overall quality of life.
Many orthopedic surgeries today are performed using minimally invasive techniques such as arthroscopy and robotic-assisted surgery. These approaches help reduce recovery time, minimize pain, and improve surgical outcomes.
India is a preferred destination for orthopedic surgery due to the availability of skilled surgeons, modern hospitals, and cost-effective treatment options. Patients receive personalised treatment plans based on their condition, age, and activity level.
Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery. Some procedures allow quick recovery, while joint replacement or complex surgeries may require rehabilitation and physiotherapy for optimal results.
