When knee pain is no longer manageable
When should you see a knee replacement surgeon?
Severe knee arthritis can make walking, stairs and everyday activities increasingly difficult. Seeing a knee replacement surgeon does not mean you have decided on surgery. The first step is to understand how severely the joint is damaged and whether replacement is needed now.
Knee arthritis-
Walking and stairs are becoming difficult
Pain or stiffness is limiting how far you can walk, making stairs harder or affecting everyday activities.

Treatment is no longer helping enough

Your doctor has recommended knee replacement
You want to understand why surgery is being recommended, what operation is being proposed and whether you have other options.

The decision comes first
Do you need knee replacement now?
Not everyone with knee arthritis needs surgery. Dr. Aniket Patil looks at how severely the joint is damaged, how much the symptoms limit everyday life and whether non-surgical treatment is still helping.
During the consultation, he reviews your symptoms, examines the knee and looks at your X-rays or other relevant reports. If knee replacement is not needed yet, surgery should not be the next step.
No recent X-ray?
After the examination, Dr. Aniket Patil can advise whether you need one.
If surgery is recommended
Total or partial knee replacement?
The operation depends on which parts of the knee are damaged. Some patients need the whole joint surface replaced, while a smaller group with arthritis limited to one part of the knee may be suitable for partial replacement.
Total knee replacement
When arthritis has damaged several parts of the knee, total knee replacement replaces the worn joint surfaces.
Partial knee replacement
If arthritis is limited to one part of the knee and the rest of the joint is suitable, partial knee replacement may preserve more of the natural knee.
-
Considering robotic assistance?
Robotic technology can assist the surgeon with planning, bone preparation and implant positioning during knee replacement. Whether it is useful is discussed after the type of replacement has been decided.
Robotic knee replacement -
Both knees affected?
For selected patients with severe arthritis in both knees, bilateral knee replacement may also be discussed.

Consultations take place at Om Hip & Knee Specialty Clinic in Kharadi, Pune. If you are travelling from PCMC, bring your recent X-rays, scans, prescriptions and previous treatment records so they can be reviewed during the consultation.
Where does knee replacement surgery take place?
Knee replacement is performed in a hospital, not at the Kharadi clinic. The hospital and surgical plan are discussed when surgery is recommended.
Another opinion before surgery
Already advised knee replacement?
If another doctor has recommended knee replacement, you can consult Dr. Aniket Patil before deciding. He can review your symptoms, examination findings and available X-rays or scans, explain whether replacement is needed now and discuss the surgical options that may apply to your knee.
Previous knee replacement
Pain after an earlier knee replacement?
A knee replacement that becomes painful, unstable or difficult to use needs proper assessment rather than assuming another operation is required.
Dr. Aniket Patil also performs revision knee replacement for patients whose existing knee replacement has developed a problem. The first step is to identify why the knee is causing symptoms and whether revision surgery is actually necessary.
