Knee Pain Treatments : Surgical & Minimally Invasive
Book Appointment
Knee pain is a common issue that affects people of all ages, often caused by injury, arthritis, or overuse. Whether you’re dealing with minor discomfort or severe pain, finding the right treatment is essential to restoring mobility and improving your quality of life. At Excell Speciality Hospital, under the expertise of Orthopedic and Robotic Joint Replacement Surgeon, Dr. Jagdish Patil, we offer a wide range of surgical and minimally invasive treatments to address knee pain, from total knee replacements to cutting-edge regenerative therapies.
Here, we answer some of the most common questions about knee pain treatments and what options are available to help you recover.
Q1: What is Total Knee Replacement (TKR), and when is it necessary?
A: Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is a surgical procedure where the damaged cartilage and bone in your knee joint are replaced with artificial materials, often metal and plastic. TKR is recommended when the knee joint is severely damaged by arthritis or injury, and other treatments like physical therapy or medications haven’t relieved the pain. This procedure can significantly reduce pain and restore function in patients with severe knee arthritis.

Q2: What is Partial Knee Replacement (PKR), and how does it differ from TKR?
A: Partial Knee Replacement (PKR) is a minimally invasive surgery that involves replacing only the damaged portion of the knee joint, rather than the entire joint as in TKR. PKR is suitable for patients who have arthritis or damage in one part of the knee. This procedure typically results in faster recovery, less pain, and more natural knee movement compared to a total knee replacement.
Q3: What are Ligament Reconstruction and Repair, and when are these procedures needed?
A: Ligament injuries, such as ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) tears, are common in athletes and active individuals. Ligament reconstruction involves replacing the damaged ligament with a graft, usually taken from the patient’s own body (autograft) or from a donor (allograft). Ligament repair, on the other hand, focuses on repairing the torn ligament without replacing it. These procedures are essential when the ligament is torn or damaged beyond natural healing, causing instability and pain in the knee.
Q4: What is ACL Repair, and how does it benefit knee stability?
A: ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) repair involves surgically reconstructing the torn ligament that stabilizes the knee. ACL injuries typically occur during activities that involve sudden stops, jumps, or changes in direction, such as soccer or basketball. ACL repair helps restore knee stability, prevents further damage to the knee, and allows patients to return to an active lifestyle. Advanced techniques like minimally invasive arthroscopy ensure faster recovery with minimal scarring.
Q5: What is Meniscus Repair, and why is it important for knee function?
A: The meniscus is a piece of cartilage in the knee that acts as a cushion between the thighbone and shinbone. Tears in the meniscus can occur due to twisting injuries or degeneration over time. Meniscus repair involves stitching the torn cartilage back together, which helps maintain the knee’s stability and prevent further joint damage. Preserving the meniscus is crucial for long-term knee function and avoiding arthritis in the future.
Q6: What are Regenerative Therapies like PRP, Prolotherapy, and Ozone Therapy, and how do they work?
A: Regenerative therapies offer minimally invasive options for treating knee pain by harnessing the body’s natural healing abilities.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy: This treatment involves injecting a concentration of the patient’s own platelets into the knee. The growth factors in PRP stimulate the healing of damaged tissues and reduce inflammation, which can alleviate pain and improve function in conditions like osteoarthritis and tendon injuries.
Prolotherapy: Prolotherapy involves injecting a solution, often dextrose, into the knee to stimulate the body’s healing response. This therapy promotes the growth of new tissue and is particularly effective for treating ligament injuries and joint instability.

Ozone Therapy: Ozone therapy involves injecting medical-grade ozone into the knee joint. This treatment reduces inflammation, improves circulation, and promotes tissue repair. It’s commonly used for osteoarthritis and chronic knee pain.
These regenerative therapies are less invasive than surgery and can be effective for patients who prefer a non-surgical approach or as a complementary treatment to surgery.
Q7: How do I know which treatment is right for me?
A: The best treatment for knee pain depends on several factors, including the underlying cause of your pain, the severity of your symptoms, your age, activity level, and overall health. At Excell Speciality Hospital, Dr. Jagdish Patil takes a personalized approach to care. He will perform a thorough evaluation, including diagnostic imaging if necessary, and recommend a treatment plan that is tailored to your needs—whether it’s surgical intervention, regenerative therapy, or conservative management.
Q8: What is the recovery process like for knee surgeries and treatments?
A: Recovery varies depending on the type of procedure. For major surgeries like Total Knee Replacement or Ligament Reconstruction, the recovery period can take several weeks to months, with physical therapy being a crucial part of rehabilitation. Minimally invasive surgeries, such as Partial Knee Replacement or Meniscus Repair, typically involve shorter recovery times. Regenerative therapies like PRP or Prolotherapy often require minimal downtime, with patients resuming normal activities much sooner.
Regardless of the treatment, Excell Speciality Hospital provides comprehensive post-operative care, including physical therapy, to ensure you achieve the best possible outcome.
