Understanding Knee Arthritis & Knee Joint Damage
The knee joint contains smooth cartilage that helps bones move comfortably. Over time, cartilage may wear away due to osteoarthritis, aging, obesity, sports injuries, previous fractures, rheumatoid arthritis, ligament damage or long-term joint degeneration.
As cartilage deteriorates, bones begin rubbing against each other, causing severe pain, swelling, stiffness, difficulty walking, joint deformity and reduced movement. When non-surgical treatments stop providing relief, knee replacement surgery often becomes the best long-term solution.

What is Knee Replacement Surgery?
Knee replacement surgery involves replacing damaged portions of the knee joint with advanced artificial implants designed to restore smooth movement and reduce pain. Damaged cartilage and bone surfaces are carefully replaced with prosthetic components that mimic natural joint function.
Knee replacement surgery may include total knee replacement, partial knee replacement, bilateral knee replacement or revision knee replacement.

Knee Replacement Cost in Lucknow
In Lucknow, knee replacement typically costs ₹1.5 lakh to ₹4 lakh for one knee, and ₹3 lakh to ₹7 lakh for both knees done together. That is a wide range because no two knees are the same — the figure depends on the implant, whether the surgery is robotic or conventional, the hospital and room category, and your general health. Having both knees replaced in a single sitting costs less than two separate admissions.
One knee
₹1.5 – 4 lakh
Both knees together
