About Shaila Kulkarni's Treatment
For more than ten years, Shaila Kulkarni lived with chronic knee pain that slowly took away her independence and confidence. Simple daily activities like walking or standing became exhausting. Seeking a lasting solution, she approached Medicover Hospitals in Chh. Sambhajinagar, where she consulted Dr Kapil Pore, Consultant Orthopedic Trauma and Joint Replacement Surgeon, Arthroscopic Surgeon, Specialist for Pelvis Fracture Surgeries and Rheumatoid Arthritis Cases.
Living with long-term pain can be emotionally and physically draining, but Mrs Kulkarni found reassurance in the clear explanations and empathetic approach of the orthopedic team. Her journey from constant discomfort to walking independently reflects how advanced orthopedic care and patient-focused treatment can truly transform quality of life.
Patient Words
I am very satisfied with my robotic knee replacement surgery. Dr Kapil Pore's calm guidance and transparent communication helped me feel confident about the procedure from the very beginning. Throughout my hospital stay, I received constant support from the doctors and nursing staff. After the surgery, I regained my mobility and can now walk independently something I hadn't been able to do for years. My experience truly reflects the high quality of surgical expertise and care provided at Medicover Hospitals.
What is Knee Pain?
Knee pain is a common condition that can result from injury, overuse, or chronic diseases such as arthritis. When knee pain persists for years, it often indicates underlying joint degeneration. One of the most frequent causes of long-term knee pain is osteoarthritis, where the protective cartilage inside the joint gradually wears away.
This cartilage loss leads to bone-on-bone friction, causing pain, swelling, stiffness, and reduced movement. Over time, knee pain can severely limit mobility and independence.
Common symptoms of chronic knee pain include:
- Continuous aching or throbbing pain
- Swelling and stiffness in the knee joint
- Difficulty bending or straightening the knee
- Pain while walking, standing, or bearing weight
While early-stage knee pain may respond to medication, physiotherapy, or injections, advanced joint damage often requires surgical intervention to restore mobility and relieve pain.
What Treatment did we provide to Shaila Kulkarni at Medicover?
Due to the severity and long duration of her knee pain, Shaila Kulkarni required a definitive surgical solution. At Medicover Hospitals, she underwent Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery performed by Dr Kapil Pore. This advanced procedure was chosen to correct joint damage and restore smooth knee movement precisely.
The treatment process included:
- Detailed pre-operative imaging to create a personalized surgical plan based on her knee anatomy
- Robotic-assisted guidance during surgery to achieve highly accurate bone cuts and implant placement
- Replacement of the damaged joint surfaces with artificial components designed to restore natural movement
The use of robotic technology improved surgical precision, reduced soft-tissue trauma, and supported a faster, smoother recovery. This successful intervention enabled Mrs Kulkarni to regain her independence and walk confidently again, marking a major milestone in her recovery.
