Revision TKA implants are costly but the government has recently capped Knee implants prices. Which is good for patients. There are 3 categories, lowest is 55000 plus taxes and highest being around 1.1 Lacs, so the price of your revision implants should be within this. Go for a Foreign knee like Depuy, Zimmer or Smith and nephew, the implants are mostly cobalt chromium.
