Hi,
In knee replacement articular (joint forming) surface of thigh and leg bone is replaced by metallic implants, thus relieving the patient of pain and deformity. For a standard one sided knee replacement hospitals charge somewhere around 1.25 lac to 2.5 lacs.
It depends on the rating of the hospital as well as the fees of the operating surgeon. Usually we don't take biopsy before knee replacement, so if they are taking biopsy it means there is something else present which may increase the cost of surgery if specialized custom made prosthesis is required.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
