What is Knee Arthritis?

Knee Arthritis is a degenerative joint condition marked by inflammation, stiffness, swelling, and pain in the knee joint. The most common form is Osteoarthritis, where the protective cartilage between the bones gradually wears away. As the cartilage deteriorates, the bones begin to rub against each other, leading to pain, reduced flexibility, and difficulty in movement.

Other forms, such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, are autoimmune conditions that cause inflammation of the joint lining, eventually damaging cartilage and bone. Knee arthritis often progresses slowly but can become severely disabling if left untreated.

Common symptoms include:

  • Persistent knee pain that worsens with activity
  • Morning stiffness or stiffness after rest
  • Swelling and tenderness around the joint
  • Grinding or clicking sounds during movement

Early stages are managed with medications, physiotherapy, and lifestyle changes. However, when joint damage becomes advanced and pain limits everyday activities, surgical intervention may be required.

What Treatment did we provide to Kushivarta Panditrao Eakhe at Medicover?

At Medicover Hospitals, Kushivarta Panditrao Eakhe underwent Knee Replacement Surgery under the expertise of Dr Punit Malpani. This procedure, also known as knee arthroplasty, was chosen as the definitive treatment due to the advanced stage of her arthritis and its impact on her mobility and quality of life.

The surgical process involved:

  • Careful removal of the damaged cartilage and bone from the knee joint
  • Reshaping the ends of the thighbone (femur) and shinbone (tibia)
  • Implanting artificial metal components onto the prepared bone surfaces
  • Placing a medical-grade plastic spacer between the components to ensure smooth joint movement

This successful procedure helped relieve chronic pain, restore joint stability, and improve overall mobility. With structured post-operative care and rehabilitation support, Mrs Eakhe was able to begin her recovery confidently and return home with improved comfort and function.
