Knee Problems

The knee is one of the most heavily used joints in the body, making it particularly prone to injury and degeneration. Dr. Sanjay Rawat provides expert evaluation and treatment for the full range of knee problems in Indore, helping patients of all ages stay active and pain-free.

About Knee Problems

Knee problems can arise from sudden sports injuries, gradual wear-and-tear, or underlying medical conditions. Ligament tears, meniscus injuries, and osteoarthritis are among the most common issues seen in clinical practice. Because the knee bears the body’s full weight during walking, running, and climbing, even minor injuries can significantly affect mobility if not properly diagnosed and treated early.

Symptoms of Knee Problems

• Pain with walking, climbing stairs, or squatting
• Swelling or fluid buildup around the joint
• Instability or a feeling of the knee giving way
• Locking or catching sensations during movement
• Reduced range of motion

Causes of Knee Problems

• Sports injuries and sudden twisting movements
• Age-related cartilage and ligament degeneration
• Obesity placing extra stress on the joint
• Previous knee injury or surgery
• Repetitive high-impact activity

Diagnosis

• Physical examination with specific ligament and meniscus tests
• X-ray to assess joint alignment and arthritis
• MRI for detailed soft tissue and ligament evaluation
• Assessment of gait and joint stability

Treatment Options

• Physiotherapy and knee-strengthening exercises
• Anti-inflammatory medication and activity modification
• Bracing for instability
• Arthroscopic surgery for ligament or meniscus tears
• Knee replacement for advanced arthritis
