Patient Testimonial - Arthroscopy Surgery

About Sanjana's Treatment

Sanjana, an active 54-year-old yoga practitioner, began experiencing persistent knee pain that gradually interfered with her daily activities. Seeking expert evaluation, she consulted Dr Krishna Kumar M S, Senior Consultant Orthopedic, Joint Replacement, and Arthroscopy at Medicover Hospitals, Bangalore.

Although initial X-rays appeared almost normal, a detailed clinical assessment confirmed a meniscus tear along with degeneration of the ACL. Despite receiving discouraging opinions about surgery from others, Sanjana chose to seek multiple expert consultations. Each opinion validated the need for surgical intervention. Her treatment plan focused on restoring knee stability, mobility, and confidence through minimally invasive surgery followed by structured rehabilitation.

The rehabilitation team is helping me recover steadily so I can return to yoga. I truly recommend Medicover Hospital to anyone dealing with knee problems the care and support are excellent.

What is a Meniscus Tear and Degeneration of the ACL?

Knee pain commonly arises from damage to the meniscus and the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), both of which play vital roles in joint stability and movement.

A meniscus tear involves damage to the C-shaped cartilage that cushions the knee joint. Degenerative meniscus tears typically occur due to age-related wear rather than sudden injury.

Symptoms often include:

ACL degeneration refers to gradual weakening of the ligament responsible for stabilizing the knee. This can lead to instability and discomfort during movement. When conservative treatments fail to relieve symptoms, surgical intervention becomes the most effective option.
