Do you have knee pain?
Knee pain and limp, buckling or giving way, locking or inability to straighten, restricted movements, clicking or clucking and swelling, maybe one of the many complaints you have. These problems could be due to several reasons. The onset may be after a single significant injury, minor repetitive injury or trivial movement like getting up from sitting position or even no injury at all. Sudden overuse or unaccustomed loading of the knee e.g. Recent long run or marathon may be a cause.

How do I evaluate?
How do I evaluate? I believe that listening is very important. I understand patients concerns , note their symptoms and take into account associated conditions. I then look, feel and move before carrying out required special tests; this gives me better understanding of the problem. After physical examination, I investigate with the help of appropriate imaging techniques. My old-school approach combined with new-age technical skills help me design an optimal treatment plan for my patients
What to expect
My investigations begin with a basic X-ray (unlike many places where an expensive MRI scan is recommended). In most cases, investigation does not have to go beyond an X-ray; an MRI is definitely not my first option.I am an expert clinician and about 90% of our patients receive a non-surgical treatment. I also do not believe in prescribing unnecessary medicines & drugging patients; we prefer to recommend life style changes & exercise therapy for recovery.

How I treat it
Treatment is individualised based on the symptoms, the degree of disability and the demands of the patient’s lifestyle. It is solely dependent on your condition, symptoms and what exactly is causing your knee pain. I give tips on exercise modification and advocate a holistic approach to handle your knee related issues; treatments include therapy and lifestyle changes, injections, surgery and alternative medicine.
First line to treatment
I feel that Lifestyle changes are extremely helpful; avoiding certain high impact exercises, maintaining correct posture, wearing appropriate footwear, and more. You may be surprised to learn that several patients are able to fix their knee related issues with simple stretching exercises. Additionally, I recommend physical therapy for strengthening the muscles and enhancing joint stability. I believe in holistic approach to injury and combination of movement, stretching, targeted deep tissue massage and manipulation of a person’s muscles and joints helps to improve function, relieve pain and aid recovery.

Injection
At times, I may recommend an injection into or around your joint. A few common injections are Corticosteroids, Hyaluronic acid and Platelet-rich plasma (PRP). In some situations, injections inside joints or around tendons & ligaments are used. To optimise their effectiveness these injections are administered by our radiologist, under ultrasound guidance. This ensure the Durg is delivered at the targeted area.
Surgery
There is an optimal time for every surgical procedure. Some have to be carried out early and others can be planned. I guide you through the pros & the cons of surgery.
The majority of surgeries carried out are minimally invasive, arthroscopic procedures for treating problems of the patella, meniscus, cartilage & ligaments. Complex surgeries for failed previous surgeries (revision) and where multiple ligaments are damaged and re-alignment surgeries that can prolong the life of the natural knee are also done by me regularly
