Knee Replacement Cost Breakdown
Knee replacement is the most commonly performed joint replacement surgery in Surat, and its cost depends heavily on which type of procedure you need.
Total Knee Replacement (TKR) Cost in Surat
A single (unilateral) Total Knee Replacement in Surat generally costs ₹1,75,000 to ₹3,50,000 at a standard private hospital, rising toward ₹6,90,000 at premium super-specialty centers using high-end implants. If both knees are replaced together (bilateral), expect ₹3,30,000 to ₹8,90,000, though doing both in one sitting often works out cheaper than two separate admissions because anesthesia, OT, and recovery-room charges are shared.
Partial (Unicompartmental) Knee Replacement Cost
When only one compartment of the knee is damaged, Partial Knee Replacement is a less invasive, lower-cost option — typically ₹1,50,000 to ₹3,50,000. Recovery is faster and hospital stay shorter, which also reduces the total bill.
Robotic Knee Replacement Cost
Robotic-assisted knee replacement adds precision but also cost — generally ₹2,80,000 to ₹5,50,000 in Surat, roughly ₹50,000–₹1,00,000 more than conventional TKR. For the trade-offs, see our detailed guide on Robotic vs Conventional Knee Replacement for South Gujarat patients.
ACL & Ligament Reconstruction (Related Procedure)
If your knee issue is ligament-related rather than a full joint replacement, ACL reconstruction is priced separately and is far more affordable — see our ACL surgery cost guide for Surat for Ayushman-covered pricing.

Hip Replacement Cost Breakdown
Total Hip Replacement (THR) Cost in Surat
A unilateral Total Hip Replacement in Surat costs approximately ₹2,50,000 to ₹4,50,000, depending on implant material (ceramic-on-ceramic implants cost more than metal-on-polyethylene). Bilateral hip replacement ranges from ₹4,50,000 to ₹8,00,000.
What Drives Hip Replacement Pricing Specifically
- Implant type: Cemented implants are generally cheaper than cementless/hybrid implants.
- Approach used: Minimally invasive anterior-approach surgery can carry a premium over the traditional posterior approach.
- Bone quality and revision risk: Complex hip anatomy (post-fracture, dysplasia) can increase surgical time and cost.
For a fuller cost breakdown specific to hip procedures, see our dedicated guides: Hip Joint Replacement Cost in Surat and Hip Replacement Surgery Cost in India — Complete Guide for Surat Patients.
Shoulder Replacement Cost Breakdown
Shoulder replacement is less common than knee or hip surgery but is growing in demand for patients with severe rotator cuff arthropathy or advanced arthritis. In Surat, Total Shoulder Replacement and Reverse Shoulder Replacement typically cost ₹3,00,000 to ₹5,50,000, with reverse shoulder replacement (used when rotator cuff tendons are severely damaged) generally priced at the higher end due to implant complexity.
Revision Joint Replacement Cost {#revision-cost}
If a previous knee or hip implant has worn out, loosened, or become infected, revision surgery is more complex than a first-time replacement and costs more:
- Revision Total Knee Replacement: ₹3,50,000 – ₹5,00,000
- Revision Hip Replacement: ₹4,00,000 – ₹6,50,000
Revision costs run higher because surgery time is longer, specialized revision implants are needed, and hospital stay is typically extended. Learn more in our Revision Hip Surgery Treatment guide or the Revision Total Knee Replacement page.
What’s Included in the Package Price {#whats-included}
A transparent joint replacement package at Ashirwad Hospital typically bundles:
- Pre-surgery consultation and orthopedic assessment
- Diagnostic tests (X-rays, blood work, ECG, MRI where needed)
- Operation theatre and anesthesia charges
- The implant itself (cost varies by brand/material)
- Surgeon and anesthetist fees
- Standard hospital room stay for the recommended duration
- Post-operative medication during admission
- Initial physiotherapy sessions
Not usually included: extended private room upgrades, long-term physiotherapy after discharge, and follow-up visits beyond the standard package window. Always ask for a written itemized quote before admission — this is standard practice we follow with every patient at Ashirwad Hospital.
7 Factors That Change Your Final Bill
- Type of implant — Standard vs high-flex vs ceramic implants carry different price points.
- Unilateral vs bilateral surgery — Operating on both joints together is usually cheaper per joint than two separate admissions.
- Room category — General ward vs semi-private vs private room changes daily charges significantly.
- Robotic vs conventional technique — Robotic assistance adds to the surgical fee.
- Patient’s medical condition — Diabetes, cardiac history, or obesity may need additional pre-op workup and monitoring.
- Surgeon’s experience level — Senior consultant fees vs junior surgeon fees.
- Insurance/scheme eligibility — Ayushman Bharat, CGHS, or private mediclaim can drastically reduce your actual payment (see next section).
Ayushman Card & PMJAY Coverage for Joint Replacement
This is often the single biggest factor in what a patient in Surat actually pays. Under Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY), eligible families get cashless treatment up to ₹5 lakh per year at empaneled hospitals, and joint replacement is a covered procedure category.
Indicative PMJAY package rates:
- Total Knee Replacement: ₹80,000 – ₹1,20,000 per knee
- Total Hip Replacement (Unilateral): ₹90,000 – ₹1,40,000
If you hold a valid Ayushman Card and are treating at an empaneled hospital, your knee or hip replacement can be completely cashless — no upfront payment for the covered package components. Eligibility, area-specific documentation, and empanelment status matter, so it’s worth checking your specific locality’s guide:
- Ayushman Card Total Knee Replacement — Surat (Complete Guide)
- Ayushman Card Knee Replacement — Athwa Gate
- Ayushman Card Knee Replacement — Piplod
- Ayushman Card Knee Replacement — Rander
- Ayushman Card Knee Replacement — Hansot & Ankleshwar
If you’re not sure whether you qualify, our team at Ashirwad Hospital can verify your Ayushman Card eligibility and empanelment status before you commit to a procedure.
Insurance & No-Cost EMI Options
If you’re not covered under Ayushman Bharat, you still have options:
- Private mediclaim/health insurance: Most comprehensive policies cover surgeon fees, implant cost, room rent, and post-hospitalization expenses — check your policy’s specific sub-limits on implants and room category.
- Cashless network hospitals: If Ashirwad Hospital is in your insurer’s cashless network, you avoid upfront payment entirely.
- No-cost EMI: For self-paying patients, EMI plans let you split the total joint replacement cost over several months without interest, making a ₹2–4 lakh procedure manageable on a monthly budget.
Our billing counselors can walk you through pre-authorization for insurance claims or set up an EMI plan during your first consultation.
Robotic vs Conventional: Does It Cost More?
Yes — robotic-assisted knee replacement in Surat typically costs ₹50,000 to ₹1,00,000 more than conventional surgery, reflecting the technology and precision involved. Whether that premium is worth it depends on your specific case, bone alignment complexity, and long-term implant-life expectations. We’ve broken this down in detail in Robotic vs Conventional Knee Replacement: What South Gujarat Patients Ask.
