Knee

Knee pain is among the most frequent orthopaedic complaints affecting people of all ages — from young athletes to elderly patients with degenerative joint disease. The knee is one of the body's most complex and load-bearing joints, making it particularly vulnerable to injury and wear.

Do not hesitate — the sooner we identify the cause of your pain, the faster and more effectively we can help you on your journey to recovery.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Knee

Knee Specialist in Jaipur — Personalised Care for Knee Pain

Knee pain can result from a wide range of conditions including osteoarthritis, ligament injuries, meniscal tears, and inflammatory joint disease. The cause must be accurately identified before any treatment plan is established.

In the early stages, knee pain may be intermittent and manageable. As the condition progresses, pain during walking, climbing stairs, or even at rest can significantly reduce quality of life. Swelling, stiffness, and a feeling of instability are common accompanying symptoms.

Typical signs include pain along the inner or outer knee, pain that worsens after periods of rest (start-up pain), reduced range of motion, and audible or palpable clicking or grinding sensations in the joint.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Knee Pain

Dr. Hargovind Singh conducts a thorough clinical examination of the knee joint, including assessment of ligament stability, range of motion, and gait. This is followed by imaging — X-ray for structural assessment and MRI where soft tissue evaluation is required.

In the early and moderate stages of knee conditions, conservative non-surgical treatments are prioritised:

  • Physiotherapy and Muscle Strengthening
  • Oral Anti-Inflammatory Medications
  • Corticosteroid Injections
  • Hyaluronic Acid (Viscosupplementation) Therapy
  • Activity Modification and Bracing

Surgical Solutions for Advanced Knee Conditions

When conservative treatment is no longer sufficient, surgical options include arthroscopic procedures, partial knee replacement (unicompartmental), or total knee replacement using robotic-assisted surgical systems for maximum precision. Dr. Singh's minimally invasive techniques minimise soft-tissue disruption and allow faster rehabilitation and return to activity.

  • Knee Osteoarthritis
  • ACL & Ligament Tears
  • Meniscal Injuries
  • Knee Replacement
  • Patellofemoral Pain
  • Overuse Conditions

As a specialist in joint surgery, I offer each patient a comprehensive assessment and a treatment path tailored to their individual needs — from conservative care to minimally invasive surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions about Knee

The most common causes include knee osteoarthritis (wear of the joint cartilage), ligament injuries such as ACL tears, meniscal tears, patellar tendinitis, and inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. In younger patients, sports injuries are a frequent cause, while in older patients, degenerative joint disease is more prevalent.
Knee osteoarthritis is a progressive degeneration of the articular cartilage in the knee joint. As the cartilage wears away, the underlying bones begin to rub against each other, causing pain, stiffness, and swelling. It usually develops gradually over years and is more common in patients over 50, though it can affect younger individuals following injury or due to genetic factors.
You should seek a specialist consultation if knee pain persists for more than a few weeks, if the pain is affecting your ability to walk or perform daily activities, if you experience significant swelling or instability in the joint, or if conservative measures such as rest and pain relief are no longer effective. Early diagnosis leads to better treatment outcomes.
Diagnosis involves a detailed clinical examination assessing the joint line, range of motion, and ligament integrity. X-rays are used to evaluate joint space narrowing and bone changes. MRI provides additional information about cartilage condition, menisci, and ligaments. In some cases, ultrasound or blood tests are used to rule out inflammatory conditions.
Surgical options depend on the extent and location of damage. Partial knee replacement (unicompartmental) is suitable when only one compartment of the knee is affected. Total knee replacement is recommended for widespread disease. Dr. Singh uses robotic-assisted surgical systems for precise implant positioning, which improves long-term outcomes and reduces recovery time. Arthroscopic procedures may be appropriate for younger patients with isolated cartilage or meniscal problems.
