With around 9.1 lakh (910,000) people (2025 estimate, from Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate), Gorakhpur is number 77 among the 100 largest cities in this directory and sits in the Small (<1M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.2% a year, it would reach about 1.0 million by 2030, so demand for knee replacement surgeons and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Uttar Pradesh's 1.25 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 1,100 hospital beds in Gorakhpur, including about 57 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 69 hospitals (about 19 public and 50 private). That is about 800 residents for every bed and around 16 beds per hospital on average. Measured against the WHO's often-quoted benchmark of 3 beds per 1,000 people, the city would need roughly 1,600 more beds, which is one reason private clinics and hospitals carry so much of the load.
The same national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people suggests about 1,100 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Gorakhpur, supported by around 2,000 nurses and midwives. A knee replacement surgeon is one of many specialities within that total. Specialist head-counts are not published city by city, so these figures show scale, not how many knee replacement surgeons practise in Gorakhpur.
On health outcomes, Uttar Pradesh's infant mortality rate is 35 per 1,000 live births (2024), above the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 69.6 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 73% of hospital beds in Uttar Pradesh are private, so most people weigh private knee replacement surgeons against government outpatient departments.

How much does a knee replacement surgeon consultation cost in Gorakhpur?
Fees depend on the doctor's experience, the type of facility and the tests or procedures involved, and we do not publish unverified prices. Ask the clinic for the consultation fee and any follow-up charges when you call; government hospitals generally charge much less than private clinics.

Each has its own outpatient timings and departments, so check availability for knee replacement surgeon services directly before you go. This is general information, not a complete directory.
When is knee replacement recommended?
Surgeons usually consider replacement when X-rays show advanced arthritis and pain remains severe despite medicines, physiotherapy, weight management and sometimes injections. The decision also depends on age, activity and overall health.
How long is recovery after knee replacement?
Most patients walk with support within a day or two, stay in hospital for a few days and continue physiotherapy for several weeks. Full recovery takes a few months and depends on rehabilitation and general health.
What should I ask before choosing a surgeon or hospital in Gorakhpur?
Ask about the surgeon's experience with knee replacement, the implant options, infection-control practices, ICU back-up, what the package includes and what physiotherapy is provided. A second opinion is always reasonable.
