Patient Testimonial - Stiff Knee Surgery

About Anara's Treatment

Anara, a young patient, came to Medicover Hospitals, Bangalore, in search of hope and improved mobility after struggling with a severely stiff knee for a long time. Her condition was particularly complex, as she had already undergone two unsuccessful knee surgeries at other hospitals, which left her with restricted movement and ongoing difficulty in daily activities.

With unwavering support from her father, Anara consulted Dr Sanjay Prasad Hegde, Senior Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon. Understanding the physical and emotional challenges involved, the medical team approached her case with detailed planning, precision, and compassion. Given the severity and long-standing nature of her stiffness, a carefully structured, multi-stage treatment plan was designed to give her the best possible outcome.

Patient Words

After two unsuccessful knee surgeries elsewhere, we were extremely worried about our daughter's future. We placed our trust in Dr Sanjay Prasad Hegde, Dr Chakravarti, and the entire Medicover team. They planned a complex two-stage surgery followed by intensive rehabilitation. Today, we are relieved and grateful to see a significant improvement in Anara's knee movement. She can now move more freely and continue her life and artistic interests with confidence.

What is a Very Stiff Knee?

A very stiff knee is medically referred to as severe arthrofibrosis. This condition occurs when excessive scar tissue forms inside the knee joint, severely limiting its natural range of motion. It often develops after trauma, prolonged immobilisation, or previous surgeries.

Common contributing factors include:

When physiotherapy and non-surgical treatments fail to restore movement, specialised surgical intervention becomes necessary to release the tight structures and improve joint function.
