Knee and Joint Pain: From Physiotherapy to Joint Replacement
Knee and hip pain can come from a range of causes — a ligament tear, meniscus injury, joint wear over time, or a past injury that never fully healed. Dr. Aditya Dabhi, MS, General Orthopaedic, Trauma & Arthroscopic Surgeon at MAA Hospital, evaluates the joint clinically and with imaging to identify exactly what is causing the pain before recommending treatment.
Many conditions, including ACL and meniscus injuries, rotator cuff tears and recurrent shoulder dislocation, can be treated through day-care or knee/shoulder arthroscopy — a minimally invasive approach with a shorter recovery than open surgery. For advanced joint damage, total knee or hip replacement can relieve pain and restore mobility when conservative treatment is no longer enough.
Whichever treatment path is right for you, recovery is supported with clear rehabilitation guidance and physiotherapy follow-up, so strength and movement are rebuilt safely. If joint pain is limiting your daily activity, an orthopaedic consultation is the right first step to understand your options.
