I have to have a knee replacement. I want to know if there are other options to treat the problem instead of a surgery.?
Why do you have to have a knee replacement? We can't help you if you don't tell us what the cause of the problem is. There may be options for you, especially if the reason for knee replacement is pain (due to arthritis, etc).

How much does knee replacement surgery cost?
The cost of total knee replacement varies depending on age, type of surgery, brand of replacement, and other factors. In the United States, an uninsured patient can expect to pay upwards of $45,000. In most other places in the world, the cost is far lower. Patients can take advantage of globalization and receive total knee replacement surgery for a low price in a number of destinations. The following is a chart of the estimated cost of knee replacement around the world: Country Estimated Price (USD) United States $45,000-$60,000 Singapore $18,000-$22,000 Thailand $12,000-$14,000 Taiwan $9,000-$10,000 India $7,000-$11,000 Do not calculate cost when you go for a major surgery. People often select a good doctor, good implant & good medicines. Dont go on Hospital room & luxury looks as it does not change your outcome. We are in Medical Tourism & we call our patients India for effective treatment at very reasonable costs. Just 5000 to 6000 USD including World Class Implant on 1 side Knee Replacement.

He is using standard International brand implants & uses also according to patients' choice also. He is comfortable with all good company implants. He has started doing some latest work like small incision Knee surgeries etc. He practices in Mumbai. Right now he is in Wockhardt Hospital.

What happens if you can't pass airport security because of a surgical implant such a total knee replacement?
They will have you pass through the metal detector, which will alarm. Always tell them first that you have a knee replacement. They will then take you into another area and simply pat you down and run a metal detecting wand around you thoroughly. This is not an invasive test at all; the people are usually very nice and will watch your belongings for you while they check you. They will frisk under your arms, behind your kness, down your arms and legs, and have you turn your waitband out so they can see nothing is hidden there. The worse part of this is it takes longer than a normal check, so add about 15 minutes to your time to allow for it.
