Taken together, the 7 Tamil Nadu cities with a page here have an estimated 22.5 million residents (about 225 lakh) in 2025. The largest are Chennai (12.3 million), Coimbatore (3.2 million) and Madurai (1.9 million), followed by 4 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 43,000 hospital beds, including some 2,100 ICU beds, in an estimated 680 hospitals (roughly 340 public and 340 private). Tamil Nadu averages 1.91 beds per 1,000 people against about 1.39 for India, and about 50% of its beds are private.
On the national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people, these cities would have about 28,000 doctors and 50,000 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 Tamil Nadu.
Tamil Nadu has infant mortality of 11 per 1,000 live births (India: 24) and modelled life expectancy of about 75.0 years (India: about 72). This page lists 7 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
- Check the qualification: MBBS with MS/DNB (Orthopaedics) and joint-replacement fellowship training.
- 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.
- Read recent patient feedback on more than one platform, and be wary of identical glowing reviews.
- Check practical details: location, clinic hours, appointment system, and whether emergency back-up exists if something goes wrong.
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.

Who is the best knee replacement surgeon in Tamil Nadu?

Shortlist two or three knee replacement surgeons, check their qualification and registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register, and compare facilities and communication. Soundarapandian Bone and Joint Hospital (Chennai) is the first listing on this page - confirm details by phone.
What should I ask before choosing a surgeon or hospital in Tamil Nadu?
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.
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.
