KNEE
Knee conditions and surgery
Detailed patient guides on the knee problems I treat most often, each explaining how the decision between surgery and rehabilitation is actually made. Start with your main symptom, or go straight to the condition you have been told about.
Start here
Knee pain: what could be causing it
The common causes of knee pain, which symptoms genuinely need a specialist, and how the cause is diagnosed before any treatment is decided.
ACL and ligament injuries
ACL tear and reconstruction
When an ACL tear needs surgery and when it does not, all six graft options including peroneus longus, the month by month recovery timeline, and costs in Pune.
ACL graft selection: which graft is right for me?
Hamstring, peroneus, BPTB, quadriceps, allograft or synthetic: how the right graft is chosen for your knee, your sport and your occupation.
ACL reconstruction with meniscus repair
Why ACL and meniscus injuries so often occur together, and how repairing the meniscus changes both the surgery and the rehabilitation that follows.
ACL and PCL avulsion fixation
When a ligament pulls off with a fragment of bone, and why fixing that fragment early can restore stability without a full reconstruction.
PCL injury
How PCL injuries differ from ACL tears, when they can be managed without surgery, and when reconstruction is genuinely needed.
MCL, LCL and posterolateral corner injury
The collateral and corner ligaments: which heal on their own, and which need repair or reconstruction to keep the knee stable.
Multi-ligament knee injury
A serious injury where several ligaments tear together, why timing matters, and how the whole knee is assessed and reconstructed.
Meniscus and joint preservation
Meniscus tear: repair or removal
Why removing torn meniscus is sometimes the worst option, which tears can be repaired, root tears, and why your leg alignment decides whether a repair will last.
Arthritis and knee replacement
Knee arthritis
What actually causes knee arthritis, why the X-ray is not the whole story, and the non-surgical and joint-preserving options before replacement is considered.
Knee replacement
When knee replacement is genuinely needed, what the surgery involves, and what to expect from partial versus total replacement.
Robotic knee replacement
What robotic assistance does and does not change in knee replacement, explained plainly and without the marketing.
Bring your MRI and get a clear answer
One consultation to examine the knee, review the scan together, and tell you honestly whether this needs surgery, rehabilitation, or watchful waiting.
