Are you struggling with chronic knee pain and considering Total Knee Replacement (TKR) as a permanent solution? Understanding the cost and available treatment options is crucial before making a decision. This page explains the average knee replacement cost in Saudi Arabia (Riyadh & Jeddah) and why many patients choose India—especially Esa Orthomedica Clinic, Delhi, under Dr. Abhishek Kumar Mishra—for affordable, high‑quality knee replacement surgery.
Saudi Arabia, particularly cities like Riyadh and Jeddah, offers advanced healthcare—but at a high price.
Average cost (one knee): ~ SAR 53,000
Bilateral knee replacement: Higher than unilateral procedures
Cost variation: Depends on multiple medical and hospital factors
The cost of knee replacement surgery in Riyadh and Jeddah is broadly similar and may increase or decrease depending on individual clinical needs.
Several factors influence the final cost of knee replacement surgery:
Type of Procedure
Unilateral (one knee)
Bilateral (both knees)
Partial knee replacement
Technology Used
Conventional knee replacement
Robotic-assisted surgery
AI-based AR (Augmented Reality) technology
Implant Type
Brand, size, material, and durability of the implant
Hospital Stay
Length of stay and room category
Comorbidities
Conditions like diabetes, obesity, or heart disease
Advanced technologies such as robotic and AI-based AR systems increase the cost but significantly improve accuracy, safety, and long-term outcomes.
Compared to Saudi Arabia, India offers world-class knee replacement surgery at a much lower cost.
Average cost in India (one knee): approx. INR 2,00,000
Even after including travel, stay, surgery, and rehabilitation, the total expense remains significantly lower than Saudi Arabia.
Robotic-assisted knee replacement ensures highly precise and personalized surgery, leading to better recovery and long-term results.
Preoperative 3D knee mapping
Accurate implant selection
Precise bone cutting
Perfect implant alignment
Reduced pain and faster recovery
The robotic system allows surgeons to preserve healthy bone and tissue while replacing only the damaged part.
Patients can save up to 60–70% compared to treatment costs in Saudi Arabia.
Experienced orthopedic surgeons perform a high volume of knee replacement surgeries with excellent success rates.
Robotic and navigation-assisted knee replacement techniques are widely available.
Consultation, surgery, hospital stay, physiotherapy, and follow-up care are affordable.
The cost of total knee replacement in Saudi Arabia (Riyadh & Jeddah) can be high and sometimes difficult to afford. India provides a safe, reliable, and cost-effective alternative without compromising on quality or technology.
If you are planning knee replacement surgery, consulting an experienced orthopedic surgeon and exploring treatment options in India can help you regain pain-free mobility at a much lower cost.
