Susheela Devi, 52 has been suffering from severe knee arthritis for the past 4 years. Today, it’s become so restrictive that her favourite pastime of making delicious food for her family is now just a distant dream.  She has an important decision to make- one about undergoing a knee replacement surgery. However, what she hears from her friends and relatives makes her fearful.

Choosing the right knee replacement implant is like choosing an insurance policy. There are an overwhelmingly large number of options to choose from each at a different price point, with different features and benefits.
