When to seek an opinion
When should you see an orthopedic surgeon?
You do not need to know exactly what is wrong before booking. A consultation can help identify the cause of the pain, how severely the knee or hip is affected and what to do next.
Book a consultation-
Pain is not improving
Knee or hip pain is still bothering you despite rest, medicines, physiotherapy or changes in activity.
-
Daily activities are getting harder
Pain, stiffness or weakness is making walking, stairs, work, exercise or sleep more difficult.
-
You already know the diagnosis
You have been told you have arthritis, AVN, an ACL injury, a meniscus tear or another knee or hip problem and want to understand what to do next.
-
Your doctor recommends surgery
You want to understand whether surgery is needed now, what operation is being recommended and whether there are other options.
Knee
Knee problems Dr. Aniket Patil treats
Knee problems can come from arthritis, ligament injuries, meniscus tears or trouble after an earlier operation. The symptoms and examination help show what is causing the problem and how much it is affecting the knee.
-
Knee arthritis
Arthritis can cause pain, stiffness, swelling and increasing difficulty with walking or stairs. Many patients can manage it without surgery for years, but severe arthritis may eventually need knee replacement.

Hip

Hip arthritis
Hip arthritis can cause groin pain, stiffness and increasing difficulty with walking, stairs or putting on shoes and socks.
Read about hip arthritis -
Avascular necrosis (AVN)
AVN reduces the blood supply to part of the femoral head. As the bone weakens, the joint surface can become damaged or collapse.

Treatment without surgery
Seeing an orthopedic surgeon does not mean you need surgery
Many knee and hip problems do not need surgery. Treatment may start with medicines, physiotherapy, changes in activity or an injection.
Surgery is considered when the problem is severe and these treatments are no longer helping enough.
If symptoms continue
When surgery becomes part of the discussion
-
Arthroscopy or ligament surgery
Some meniscus tears can be treated with knee arthroscopy, while a torn ACL may need reconstruction if the knee remains unstable or keeps giving way.
-
Knee or hip replacement
When arthritis or joint damage is severe and pain continues despite non-surgical treatment, knee or hip replacement can become part of the discussion.
-
Problems after a previous replacement
Pain, loosening, wear, infection or instability around an existing knee or hip replacement may need a revision assessment.
If knee replacement is recommended, Dr. Aniket Patil can also discuss whether robotic-assisted surgery makes sense for your knee.
