Patient Testimonial - Total Knee Replacement

About Kalpana Pawar's Treatment & Recovery

Mrs Kalpana Pawar from Satana suffered from severe knee pain that made walking, climbing stairs, and even folding her legs difficult. After multiple unsuccessful attempts at treatment, she visited Medicover Hospitals, Nashik, where she consulted Dr Pranit Sonawane, Consultant Orthopedic & Joint Replacement Surgeon. A comprehensive evaluation revealed advanced joint damage, and a Total Knee Replacement (TKR) was recommended. The procedure was successful, helping her regain mobility and improving her quality of life.

In the Patient's Words

"Before surgery, walking or climbing stairs was extremely painful. After consulting Dr Pranit Sonawane at Medicover Hospitals, I underwent knee replacement surgery. I was discharged in just two days and continued exercises at home. Now, I can walk properly and climb stairs easily. I am very grateful to Dr Sonawane and the hospital team for their continuous support and care throughout my treatment."

What Causes Knee Pain?

Knee pain is a common symptom resulting from various causes, often rooted in damage or deterioration within the knee joint.

Symptoms often include stiffness, swelling, reduced movement, and pain while walking. If medications, physiotherapy, and lifestyle changes do not offer relief, surgery may be necessary to restore mobility.

Treatment Provided to Kalpana Pawar at Medicover

After clinical and radiological assessment, Total Knee Replacement was recommended by Dr Sonawane as the best option to relieve pain and restore function. In TKR surgery, the damaged knee surfaces are replaced with durable artificial implants that enable smooth and pain-free movement.
