At Sohana Hospital, Mohali, getting a consultation from expert orthopaedists can pave your way to effective knee treatment options. You can look forward to getting pain-free knees and feeling young once again.
Here’s what to expect during the process:
1. Effortless Registration
When you reach the hospital, you are greeted by our team. The polite and compassionate team members guide you through the easy registration process and help you with the necessary paperwork. They also answer all your basic queries and ensure you are comfortable till it’s your turn to meet your knee doctor.
2. Detailed Review of Your Medical History
Your doctor discusses your problem and medical history in detail. They also review your medical reports – X-rays, MRI or CT scans, prior diagnoses, prescriptions, and other treatment notes. The aim is to thoroughly understand your knee condition and what treatments you have tried so far.
At Sohana Hospital, advanced imaging is utilised to provide precise orthopaedic care. Every patient gets personalised treatment according to their condition. For example, some patients may recover with physiotherapy, PRP or hyaluronic injections while others may require knee resurfacing, partial knee replacement (PKR), or total knee replacement (TKR).
3. Comprehensive Physical Examination
Next, Dr. Gagandeep Singh Sachdeva, a world-renowned ortho specialist with 20+ years of experience and 30,000+ successful knee surgeries, examines your knee(s). He assesses your knee movement, stability, and other aspects to understand your knee condition.
It is important to mention here that Dr. Gagandeep Singh Sachdeva is highly respected by patients not only in India but also in countries like the UK, the USA, and Australia for his expertise in diagnosing and treating complex knee issues. Sohana Hospital regularly witnesses patients from abroad who specially visit India to get guidance and treatment from him.
4. Explanation Session
While examining you, the specialist explains to you what they observe in simple, easy-to-understand, and reassuring language. They tell you what is the reason behind your knee pain – whether it’s regular wear-and-tear, arthritis, cartilage damage, or some other issue. You can ask questions and get answers to settle all your doubts.
The purpose is to help you feel confident because uncertainty is troubling and knowledge empowers you.
5. Tailored Treatment Options
This is the most significant part of the second opinion. You get to know what all treatment options you have according to your knee condition.
Patients in the initial stages of knee degeneration may benefit from physiotherapy, specially tailored exercises, PRP injections, hyaluronic injections, stem cell therapy, or other non-invasive or minimally-invasive knee treatments.
Younger patients with damage restricted to just one part of the knee may be advised partial knee replacement so that they retain more of their natural knee function. Some others may be eligible for knee resurfacing.
Only those patients who have extensive knee damage – that cannot be repaired through other treatments are advised total knee replacement. In this scenario too, Sohana Hospital gives you the advantage of robotic knee surgery.
Robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery utilises the most advanced CUVIS Joint Robotic System to ensure unprecedented benefits for patients –
- Smaller cuts
- Less pain
