Knee joint is one of the more complex and high demanding joints in the body. Being superficially located, it is commonly injured during sports activities as well as twisting injuries in young and active people. In Asian population, due to cultural habits and religious reasons, there is increased usage and eventually tendency of early wear and tear inside the knee joint. This premature wear and injuries cause pain and restrictions in mobility of the joint. Long term solution to these problems is always desired.

Rapid progress in medicine has tried to keep pace with ever increasing demands for long lasting solution by young and active people. Now a days, solutions to knee pain are available from sports injury related problems in early adulthood to osteoarthritis in later ages. Even people who have early degenerative arthritis can prolong their natural joint’s life by surgical as well as non-surgical methods.

In young people, instability of knee joint is often observed after an injury related to sports activities or road accidents like fall from bike. It can be due to injury to ligament(s) inside and/or around the knee. Meniscus and chondral injuries are also very common in this age group following such injuries. If neglected, it can lead to early osteoarthritis. However, solutions to these problems are available. Torn ligament, meniscus can be sutured or reconstructed, damaged chondral surface can be replaced with own healthy chondral surface or regrown completely. All this can be done by a mini incision arthroscopic surgery. It offers advantage of lesser hospital stay and early recovery.

In the middle aged patients with early signs of arthritis of knee, non-surgical treatment in the form of visco-supplement (lubricant) injection in to the knee joint can be offered to prolong surgery. Life of natural knee can be prolonged even further by doing high tibial osteotomy (HTO), a smaller surgery of correcting mechanical axis of leg compared to total knee replacement (TKR). This way you can preserve your natural knee for years together.

In advanced cases of arthritis with severe knee pain, unicompartment knee or total knee joint replacement is done depending on the extent of damage. Here the natural knee is replaced with a completely new mechanical knee joint. The replaced knee restores the natural movement and abolishes pain completely. It has life expectancy of 15 years in 95% cases. We offer total knee systems only from internationally acclaimed manufacturer with a proven track record.
