When Should You Consult a Knee Specialist?
You should book a consultation if you have:
- Knee pain while walking, sitting, or climbing stairs

- Knee instability or “giving way” sensation
- Sports injury (twisting injury, sudden pain)
- Difficulty bending or straightening the knee fully
- Arthritis pain affecting daily activities

Surgical Knee Treatments
Key Services
Knee Arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive “keyhole” procedure used to diagnose and treat internal knee problems with small incisions. It is commonly performed for injuries involving:
- Meniscus tear
- ACL / PCL ligament injury
- Cartilage damage
- Loose bodies or joint locking
Ligament Reconstruction
Ligament injuries, especially ACL tears, are common in sports and twisting injuries. When the knee feels unstable or gives way repeatedly, ligament reconstruction surgery may be recommended.
Dr. Nikhil performs advanced reconstruction procedures to restore stability and allow safe return to walking, sports, and daily activities.
Common symptoms that may require reconstruction:
- Knee instability
- Pain after twisting injuries
- Swelling after sports
- Difficulty running or changing direction
Partial & Total Knee Replacement
When knee arthritis becomes severe, the joint surfaces become worn out, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. In such cases, knee replacement surgery helps restore function and relieve long-term pain.
Dr. Nikhil offers:
- Partial Knee Replacement (for selected cases)
- Total Knee Replacement (advanced arthritis)
Revision Knee Replacement
If a previous knee replacement has complications or wear over time, a revision knee replacement may be required. This is a more complex procedure that requires advanced surgical planning and expertise.
Revision may be needed for:
- Persistent pain after surgery
- Implant loosening
- Instability
- Infection-related concerns (case-dependent)
Patellar Realignment
Patellar problems (kneecap instability) can cause recurring pain, clicking, or dislocation. In patients where the patella tracks improperly or dislocates frequently, patellar stabilisation procedures may help restore alignment and improve movement.
✅ Best for: recurrent kneecap dislocation, anterior knee pain
Non - Surgical Knee Treatments
Many knee problems can be treated without surgery—especially in early stages. Dr. Nikhil focuses on the most effective conservative options based on diagnosis and lifestyle needs.
Key Services
Osteoarthritis (OA) Management
Knee osteoarthritis is one of the most common causes of chronic knee pain in adults. Treatment aims to reduce pain, improve mobility, and slow progression.
OA care may include:
- Lifestyle and activity modification
- Medications (as needed)
- Physiotherapy guidance
- Support braces (if required)
Knee Pain Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation is a crucial part of knee recovery—especially after injury or surgery. A structured rehab plan improves:
- Strength and stability
- Joint flexibility
- Balance and movement patterns
- Return to sports / normal life safely
✅ Best for: post-ACL, post-arthroscopy, chronic knee pain
PRP & Injectables for Knee Pain
For selected patients, PRP therapy and joint injections may help reduce knee pain and inflammation—especially in early arthritis or tendon-related knee pain.
Dr. Nikhil will advise injections only if:
- It is appropriate for your condition
- It improves function and comfort
- It supports long-term joint management
Cartilage Preservation Procedures
Cartilage damage can occur due to injury or early degeneration. In suitable cases, cartilage preservation methods may be recommended to protect joint surfaces and prevent progression.
This is especially helpful for:
- Younger patients with cartilage injuries
- Early-stage joint wear
- Sports-related cartilage damage
Patellar Realignment
Patellar problems (kneecap instability) can cause recurring pain, clicking, or dislocation. In patients where the patella tracks improperly or dislocates frequently, patellar stabilisation procedures may help restore alignment and improve movement.
✅ Best for: recurrent kneecap dislocation, anterior knee pain

Recently we had a shoulder and hip surgery for my dad done through Dr Nikhil. He is very polite and shares the surgery procedures and outcomes in detail. Not only during surgery, he constantly follows up post surgery as well to check the health status of the patient and provides the right guidance for faster recovery. Took the right decision to have surgery for my dad done through him. Thank you Dr Nikhil.

I recently had the occasion of consulting Dr. Nikhil, who comes across as a close relative. Although this review might seem motivated, his advice helped me with my long standing issue with respect to having a flat feet. The treatment plan that he suggested and after following it with utmost patience, I can say that he has helped me cure something chronic in the lightest form possible. His approach to my predicament is commendable and I cannot stress on how anyone dealing with ortho related issues should consult him once. Thank you, doc!
