Dr. Sujoy Bhattacharjee, a leading figure in orthopedic medicine at Sarvodaya Hospital, Sector 8, Faridabad, is revolutionizing the landscape of knee pain treatment. In a recent press briefing, Dr. Bhattacharjee emphasized the shift away from traditional knee replacement surgery, presenting an array of innovative approaches catering to diverse patient needs.
Highlighting the surge in knee pain cases among individuals over 40, Dr. Bhattacharjee stressed the need for modern interventions. Physiotherapy, he noted, plays a crucial role in initial pain management, empowering patients through targeted exercises under professional guidance. Among the groundbreaking techniques unveiled, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy emerges as a promising avenue, leveraging the body’s natural healing mechanisms to repair damaged cartilage and muscles.Dr. Bhattacharjee also shed light on Autologous Cartilage Replantation, a cutting-edge procedure aimed at restoring joint function by repairing damaged cartilage surfaces.
Furthermore, Mosaicplasty, a technique addressing kneecap wear and tear, garnered attention for its potential in alleviating arthritis-related discomfort. However, for severe cases, Dr. Bhattacharjee advocated for robotic joint replacement, highlighting its precision, quick recovery, and reduced need for post-operative physiotherapy.
