Knee replacement, or arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to resurface a knee damaged by arthritis. Metal and plastic parts are used to cap the ends of the bones that form the knee joint, along with the kneecap. India offers highly successful, robotic-assisted knee replacement procedures with premium imported implants from Zimmer Biomet, Stryker, and DePuy at a fraction of Western costs.
