Under the care of Dr Nikhil Bharambe, Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon, her treatment focused on restoring mobility and comfort. Her recovery journey highlights how expert medical evaluation and individualized care can offer effective solutions even in advanced age.
Patient Words
After years of severe knee pain and being told I was too old for surgery, Medicover Hospitals gave me a new lease on life. My Total Knee Replacement Surgery was successful, and the pain I suffered for years is finally gone. I am thankful to the hospital staff for their support and the comfortable facilities during my stay. I am now confidently continuing my physiotherapy at home and looking forward to a better quality of life.
What is Knee Pain
Knee pain is a common condition that can arise from injury, mechanical problems, or degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis. The knee joint relies on healthy cartilage to allow smooth movement. When this cartilage wears down, especially with age, the bones rub against each other, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Common symptoms of chronic knee pain include:
- Severe pain or stiffness limiting walking and daily activities
- Pain at rest or during the night
- Persistent swelling and inflammation
- Weakness or instability of the knee joint
When medications, injections, and physiotherapy fail to provide relief, Total Knee Replacement Surgery is often recommended to restore joint function and reduce pain.
What Treatment did we provide to Sandhya Patil at Medicover?
Sandhya Patil underwent a total knee replacement surgery at Medicover Hospitals to address her chronic knee pain caused by advanced joint degeneration. Under the expertise of Dr Nikhil Bharambe, Orthopedic Specialist, the procedure was carefully planned and executed to ensure safety and long-term benefit.
The treatment process included:
- Detailed pre-operative evaluation and fitness assessment
- Removal of damaged bone and worn-out cartilage
- Replacement of the joint surfaces with a durable metal and plastic implant
- Post-operative pain control and initiation of physiotherapy
The successful surgery enabled Ms Patil to overcome long-standing pain and regain confidence in her mobility, allowing her to continue recovery with home-based physiotherapy and improved independence.
