Best Knee Replacement Surgeons in Maharashtra

Knee Replacement Surgeons in Maharashtra at a glance

Quick facts for the Maharashtra cities listed here. Hospital, bed and doctor figures are estimates scaled from state and national data, because no public source counts them city by city.

Taken together, the 19 Maharashtra cities with a page here have an estimated 54.2 million residents (about 542 lakh) in 2025. The largest are Mumbai (22.1 million), Pune (7.5 million) and Nagpur (3.2 million), followed by 16 smaller cities. Population figures come from the UN's 2024 urban-area estimates for the biggest cities and from scaled Census 2011 data for the rest.

Applying state-level hospital-bed ratios to these populations gives about 99,000 hospital beds, including some 5,000 ICU beds, in an estimated 1,400 hospitals (roughly 300 public and 1,100 private). Maharashtra averages 1.83 beds per 1,000 people against about 1.39 for India, and about 78% of its beds are private.

On the national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people, these cities would have about 67,000 doctors and 1,20,000 nurses and midwives across all systems of medicine. 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 Maharashtra.

Maharashtra has infant mortality of 13 per 1,000 live births (India: 24) and modelled life expectancy of about 74.5 years (India: about 72). This page lists 19 knee replacement surgeons across these cities, and every city and sister city below has its own page with maps, qualifications to check and answers to common questions.

How to choose a knee replacement surgeon

1. Check the qualification: MBBS with MS/DNB (Orthopaedics) and joint-replacement fellowship training.
2. Verify registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register and note the registration number.
3. Ask how long the clinic has treated the condition you have, not just how long the doctor has practised.
4. Read recent patient feedback on more than one platform, and be wary of identical glowing reviews.
5. Check practical details: location, clinic hours, appointment system, and whether emergency back-up exists if something goes wrong.
