Mysuru has an estimated 1.3 million (13 lakh) residents in 2025, based on Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate. That makes it number 62 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Mid (1-2M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.2% a year, it would reach about 1.5 million by 2030, so demand for knee replacement surgeons and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Karnataka's 3.80 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 5,100 hospital beds in Mysuru, including about 250 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 210 hospitals (about 55 public and 150 private). That is about 263 residents for every bed and around 25 beds per hospital on average. On these estimates the city is already at or above the WHO's often-quoted benchmark of 3 beds per 1,000 people.
The same national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people suggests about 1,700 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Mysuru, supported by around 3,000 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 Mysuru.
On health outcomes, Karnataka's infant mortality rate is 15 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 74.3 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 73% of hospital beds in Karnataka are private, so most people weigh private knee replacement surgeons against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 knee replacement surgeon for Mysuru, and 4 other cities in Karnataka have their own knee replacement surgeon page below.

- Verify registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register and note the registration number.
- Ask how long the clinic has treated the condition you have, not just how long the doctor has practised.

Knee replacement is a decision for the patient and surgeon together, after non-surgical options have been tried. Ask for the package details in writing, and be careful with unverified price claims.

Frequently asked questions: Knee Replacement Surgeons in Mysuru
Who is the best knee replacement surgeon in Mysuru?

A good approach is to shortlist two or three knee replacement surgeons, check their qualification and registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register, and compare facilities and communication. On this page, Dr Vikram L (Kamakshi Hospital, Unit, N H Palya, Block D, JP Nagar, Mysuru, Karnataka 570031) is one listed option - confirm details by phone before you visit.
How can I book an appointment with a knee replacement surgeon in Mysuru?
Call the clinic or hospital number shown on the listing, use WhatsApp where it is shown, or visit during outpatient hours. Ask about the consultation fee, whether an appointment is needed, and which documents or earlier reports to bring.
How much does a knee replacement surgeon consultation cost in Mysuru?
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.
Which hospitals in Mysuru offer knee replacement surgeon services?
Well-known hospitals and institutions often named for Mysuru include JSS Medical College and Mysore Medical College, and the city also has many other hospitals and 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.
Is robotic knee replacement better?
Robotic assistance can help with precise implant positioning, but the surgeon's experience and your rehabilitation matter as much. Ask the surgeon why a particular approach is suggested for you.
How many hospital beds does Mysuru have?
No public source counts beds city by city. Scaling state data to the city population gives an estimate of about 5,100 beds (around 250 ICU beds) for Mysuru. Treat it as a rough guide rather than an official count.
