About Rajendra Kashinathrao Mulunjekar's Treatment

For more than 15 years, Rajendra Kashinathrao Mulunjekar struggled with persistent knee problems that progressively worsened over the last five to six years. When his pain significantly affected his lifestyle, he sought expert help at Medicover Hospitals, Nashik, on the strong recommendation of a colleague. His condition further deteriorated following a COVID-19 infection, prompting urgent orthopedic attention. After a detailed evaluation, Dr Yogesh Chaudhari advised a Bilateral Cemented Total Knee Replacement.

In the Patient Words

"I had been dealing with a knee problem for 15 years, and it got significantly worse recently, especially after I was diagnosed with COVID in April. My colleague recommended I see Dr Yogesh Chaudhari at Ashoka Medicover Hospitals. From the beginning, Dr Chaudhari provided excellent guidance, and the procedure went very well. I sincerely recommend consulting Dr Yogesh Chaudhari for anyone struggling with knee difficulties. I also felt safe during my stay, knowing the hospital maintains a separate wing for COVID and non-COVID patients."

What is a Knee Problem?

A knee problem is a broad term that includes various conditions affecting the joint.

Age-related wear and tear (Osteoarthritis)
Post-injury degeneration
Persistent joint inflammation

When cartilage is worn down, and bones begin to rub against each other, patients experience:

Severe pain and stiffness
Swelling and reduced range of motion
Difficulty walking, standing, or climbing stairs

Initial management usually involves physiotherapy, medication, and lifestyle changes. If symptoms continue to worsen, Total Knee Replacement becomes the recommended approach to restore mobility and relieve chronic pain.

Treatment Provided to Rajendra Kashinathrao Mulunjekar at Medicover

Due to the advanced nature of his joint damage, Bilateral Cemented Total Knee Replacement was recommended by Dr Yogesh Chaudhari. This procedure addresses the degeneration in both knees at once, allowing a single recovery timeline and faster return to daily activity.

The surgery involves:

Removing damaged bone and cartilage from both knee joints
Implanting high-quality prosthetic components
Using medical cement to secure implants firmly for stability and durability

Post-operative rehabilitation focused on pain management and physiotherapy helped Mr Mulunjekar begin walking again with improved comfort and restored function.

Thanks to advanced orthopedic expertise at Medicover Hospitals Nashik, he is steadily returning to an active and pain-free life.
