Patient Words

After suffering from chronic knee pain for ten years, I came to Medicover Hospitals and received treatment from Dr Kishor Munde. I underwent the procedure successfully, and I was pleasantly surprised to be able to walk the very next day after my surgery. The medical staff were attentive, and the hospital maintained excellent standards of cleanliness. I had no complications, and my experience was so positive that I now recommend this hospital to others dealing with joint or spine-related problems.

What is Knee Pain?

Knee pain is a common condition that can affect people of all age groups and is often related to joint degeneration, injury, or mechanical stress. In many cases, knee pain develops due to osteoarthritis, where the protective cartilage within the joint gradually wears away. As the cartilage deteriorates, the bones begin to rub against each other, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

Common symptoms that indicate advanced knee joint problems include:

When conservative treatments such as medication, physiotherapy, or injections no longer provide relief, surgical options are considered. Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is a proven and effective solution for advanced knee arthritis, designed to relieve pain and restore joint function.
