Best Knee Replacement Surgeon in Ghaziabad & Delhi NCR

Judge a surgeon on volume, specialisation and follow-up rather than advertising. Dr. Himanshu Gupta (MS Orth., MCh Orth.) has 20+ years of orthopedic practice, more than 2500 arthroscopic and joint replacement surgeries, robotic knee and hip replacement experience, and trained at the Sports Injury Centre, Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi. He operates and follows up on every case personally at Amicare Hospital, Indirapuram.

A single-knee total knee replacement typically ranges from ₹1,50,000 to ₹2,50,000, and robotic knee replacement from about ₹2,20,000 to ₹3,20,000, depending on the implant, room category and any medical complications. Bilateral (both knee) surgery costs less than two separate operations. We are CGHS empanelled and accept cashless insurance, so many patients pay very little out of pocket.

Robotic assistance improves the accuracy of bone cuts and ligament balancing, which usually means less soft-tissue damage, less early pain and a faster return to walking. It does not replace the surgeon — it executes the surgeon’s plan more precisely. A conventional knee replacement done well by an experienced surgeon also gives excellent results, so the honest answer depends on your knee, your deformity and your budget.

Most patients stand and walk with support within 24 hours and go home in 2–3 days. You will walk indoors independently in about 2–3 weeks, resume light outdoor walking and driving around 6 weeks, and feel close to normal by 3 months. Full maturity of the knee, including comfortable stairs and long walks, takes 6–12 months. Physiotherapy compliance decides how fast this goes.

Modern implants last 15–20 years or more in the majority of patients, and accurate alignment is one of the biggest factors in that longevity. Weight control, avoiding repeated deep squatting and running on hard surfaces, and treating any infection promptly all extend implant life.

Yes. Bilateral (simultaneous) knee replacement is suitable for patients who are medically fit, and it means one anaesthesia, one hospital stay, one recovery period and lower total cost. Patients with significant heart, lung or kidney problems are usually safer having the knees done in two stages. Cardiac clearance decides this.

With high-flexion implants and good rehabilitation, many patients regain enough bend to sit cross-legged. Deep squatting on an Indian toilet is generally discouraged long term because it stresses the implant. Most patients find a Western commode a small trade for pain-free walking.

There is no fixed age. The decision is based on pain, deformity, X-ray findings and how much your daily life has shrunk — not on the number on your birth certificate. Most patients are between 55 and 80, but younger patients with severe post-traumatic arthritis and fit patients in their late 80s are both operated safely.

Yes. Amicare Hospital is CGHS empanelled and offers cashless treatment for central government employees, pensioners and eligible dependents, including robotic knee replacement at approved CGHS rates.
