Press Release Summary = A Brit settled abroad heaps praise on his Indian Knee
specialist for performing painless double knee replacements in Chennai.

Press Release Body = When Knee osteoarthritis cramped his zeal for outdoor
activities, JN, a 64 year old Briton settled in Greece chose India for his double
Knee replacements. The key factors which brought him to India were the costs, High
quality, good weather and love of Indian food. Affordable double knee replacements
were his priority and these were provided to his utter satisfaction by an Indian
orthopedic surgeon in the south east coastal city of Madras or Chennai.

In a ever growing trend, many UK citizens settled outside Britian look alsewhere for
their medical treatment. Orthopaedic surgery like Knee replacement surgery,full knee
replacements, partial replacement, Hi flex knee replacement, Hip resurfacing,
Proxima hip replacements are the common procedures sought after. Elective surgery in
the NHS does\'nt appeal to them anymore as it is of poor quality and they find the
cost of private surgery in the UK unaffordable. They prefer to come to India for
treatment.

Indian Doctors like DR.Venkatachalam have successfully treated many British
patients. ID, a real estate manager from Luton UK checked out of a London hospital
at the last minute and flew to India for her Knee replacement. Three months after
her surgery in India, her pain is considerably reduced. She underwent a medical
examination by her UK orthopedic surgeon and GP who remarked \"Today I was seen by
the hospital orthopaedic specialist to assess my medication for the arthritis. He is
more than happy with the mobility of the knee being more than 90 degree movement.

Vouches another patient MC from North east England, after her six monthly review in
the UK,

A week ago I saw the orthopaedic surgeon who would have done the op here. His xray
showed the new knee was fine!!! The bend on my knee today was 130 no worries there!!

Hi flex knees or knees that provide deep knee bending, or the \"Prayer knee\" as it
popularly known in Islamic countries like Pakistan and the middle east are preferred
by patients as they offer more functional aiblities than standard knee
replacements.Hindu and Muslim customs of kneeling for Namaz or prayer ar impossible
to attain with standard knee surgery.
Costs of knee surgery in India are extremely affordable about 3500 pounds only vs
9000 pounds in the UK. Modern Indian hospitals like the Bharathi raja hospital
provide top class facilties like Operating rooms with Laminar air flow, spacious
rooms and tender Nursing care. You can listen to Audio testimonials of patients at
