Frequently Asked Questions

How much does hip replacement cost in India?

Total hip replacement in India typically costs $5,000-$7,000 including the implant, a 4-6 day stay, and physiotherapy, versus $25,000-$55,000 in the US or UK — a 75-85% saving with premium ceramic implants.

What implant types are used and how long do they last?

Modern total hip implants use ceramic-on-ceramic or ceramic-on-polyethylene bearings rated for 25+ years. Ceramic bearings show the lowest wear rates and are the standard at India's leading orthopedic centers.

How soon can I walk and fly home after surgery?

Patients typically stand with a walker on day 1-2 post-surgery and walk with crutches by day 2-3. Most surgeons clear patients for travel 4-5 days after the operation, making a 5-7 day GCC trip workable.

Which hospitals are best for hip replacement?

Top robotic-hip and total-hip centers include Manipal (Bangalore), Apollo Gleneagles, Fortis (Gurugram), Max Healthcare, and Fortis Malar (Chennai), all performing high-volume robotic and navigation-guided procedures.
