Knee
The knee is one of the most commonly affected joints. We diagnose and treat the full range of knee conditions—from sports injuries to advanced arthritis.
The knee is the largest and one of the most complex joints in the body. It must withstand forces of up to five times your body weight during activities such as stair climbing and running, making it vulnerable to a wide range of injuries and degenerative conditions. Knee pain can originate from bone, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, or the surrounding soft tissues, and accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment.

Diagnosis
Clinical examination remains the cornerstone of knee diagnosis. Specific provocation tests—Lachman's, McMurray's, patellar apprehension—provide valuable diagnostic information. Imaging is used to confirm findings: weight-bearing X-rays assess alignment and joint-space narrowing,
Treatment Options
Treatment is tailored to the specific diagnosis, the patient's age, activity level, and functional goals: Conservative management — Physiotherapy, bracing, weight management, activity modification, and injection therapies (corticosteroid, hyaluronic acid, PRP) for early arthritis
