Knee replacement

The most practised knee surgeons in Mumbai.

More than 1,500 knee replacements a year, every one on our STARR protocol.

STARR Knee™

When is a replacement the right decision?

When knee pain is interfering with daily life, and the X-rays show bone-on-bone arthritis. Both, together.

Our numbers, published

We audit every knee we replace and publish the results once a year. If you are choosing a surgeon, these are the figures worth asking any of them for.

The 2026 audit is in progress.
