About the Patient
Dr Shradhanjali Singh had been suffering from severe knee pain and restricted mobility due to Rheumatoid Arthritis. The condition had caused extensive damage to her knee joint, making daily activities and walking very difficult. After consulting multiple rheumatologists, she visited Medicover Hospitals, Nashik, and met Dr Jayesh Sonaje, Joint Replacement Surgeon. Following a detailed evaluation, Total Knee Replacement Surgery was advised as the best option to relieve pain and restore function. The procedure was performed successfully, and the patient is now able to walk more comfortably and resume routine activities.
In the Patient's Words
"I had been suffering from rheumatoid arthritis for many years, and my knee was completely damaged. The pain was severe and affected my daily routine, especially walking. When I consulted Dr Jayesh Sonaje at Medicover Hospitals, Nashik, he recommended a complete knee replacement surgery. His explanation and treatment gave me confidence. After surgery, I am able to walk properly and return to my normal routine. I am very thankful to Dr Sonaje." - Dr Shradhanjali Singh.
What is Rheumatoid Arthritis in the Knees?
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system attacks the lining of the joints.
In the knees, RA can cause:
- Joint pain and stiffness
- Swelling and warmth around the knee
- Reduced range of motion
- Progressive joint damage and deformity
Over time, inflammation can damage cartilage and bone, leading to bone-on-bone contact and severe pain. Medication can help control inflammation, but in advanced cases, joint replacement surgery may be needed to improve function.
What Treatment did we provide to Shradhanjali Singh at Medicover?
The treatment plan for Dr Singh included:
- Orthopedic evaluation and assessment of joint damage
- Total Knee Replacement Surgery (Complete Knee Replacement)
- Removal of damaged cartilage and bone from the knee joint
- Implantation of artificial components to restore joint movement

With surgery and guided rehabilitation, the patient experienced improved mobility, reduced pain, and a better quality of life.
