A general physician can manage early-stage knee pain with medications and basic advice. But when pain is persistent, worsening, or affecting your daily life, a dedicated knee specialist brings something different: the ability to pinpoint exactly what is wrong and choose the right treatment from a full range of options.

Dr. Ammol Kadu, recognized as one of the Best Orthopedic Doctor in Nagpur, has specialized in knee conditions for over 20 years. His clinic uses clinical examination, digital X-rays, and MRI analysis to get to the root cause—not just the symptom.

• Knee pain lasting more than 2–3 weeks without improvement
• Swelling, warmth, or redness around the knee joint
• Clicking, popping, or locking sensation in the knee
• Difficulty fully bending or straightening the knee
• Instability — the knee gives way when walking or climbing stairs
• Pain that wakes you up at night or limits your sleep
• Knee injury from a fall, sport, or accident
  

The most common reason adults over 50 visit a knee specialist. Arthritis causes the cartilage cushioning the knee joint to break down, leading to bone-on-bone friction, pain, and stiffness. Dr. Kadu offers a staged approach—starting with physiotherapy and anti-inflammatory treatment, progressing to injections if needed, and recommending Total Knee Replacement Surgery in Nagpur only when conservative care no longer helps.

Common in athletes and active individuals, ligament tears can cause sudden, sharp pain and joint instability. Depending on the severity, Dr. Kadu recommends bracing and physiotherapy for partial tears or arthroscopic ligament reconstruction for complete tears—helping patients return to sport safely.

The meniscus acts as a shock absorber in the knee. A tear—from a sudden twist or age-related degeneration—can cause pain, swelling, and a feeling of the knee ‘locking up.’ Arthroscopic surgery (keyhole procedure) can repair or trim the meniscus with minimal downtime.

Softening or erosion of the cartilage under the kneecap is a growing concern, especially in younger adults and runners. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, activity modification, and targeted physiotherapy are explored first. Surgical cartilage restoration is available for advanced cases.

When knee damage is severe and localized to one part of the joint, Partial Knee Replacement Surgery in Nagpur is a minimally invasive solution that preserves healthy bone and tissue. For patients with widespread joint damage, total knee replacement surgery in Nagpur provides lasting relief with a 95%+ success rate.

Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) around the knee or irritation of the tendons causes localised pain that is often mistaken for arthritis. These conditions are highly responsive to targeted injections and physiotherapy.

There are several orthopedic doctors in Nagpur—so what makes the difference? Patients consistently highlight these reasons:

•  International Fellowship Training: Dr. Kadu completed specialized training in joint reconstruction and replacement at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Paderborn (Germany), and hip replacement at Kantonsspital, Liestal (Switzerland). He brings global standards to Nagpur.
• Two Decades of Knee Surgery Experience: With over 20 years as the Best Orthopedic Surgeon in Nagpur, Dr. Kadu has performed thousands of knee procedures—from arthroscopic surgeries to complex revision replacements.
• Minimally Invasive First Approach: Surgery is never the default. Dr. Kadu exhausts non-surgical options before recommending any procedure, ensuring patients avoid unnecessary operations.
• Faculty at National Arthroplasty Conference (NAC25): In 2025, Dr. Kadu was invited as a faculty member at NAC25, where he shared his expertise in partial knee replacement with orthopedic professionals across India. This reflects his standing in the field.
• Transparent, Patient-First Communication: Patients consistently appreciate Dr. Kadu’s clarity—he explains every diagnosis, treatment option, and risk in plain language, so you can make an informed decision without pressure.
• 24/7 Emergency Orthopedic Care: Knee injuries don’t follow office hours. Dr. Kadu provides round-the-clock emergency access for trauma, fractures, and acute joint injuries.

Not every knee problem needs surgery. Dr. Kadu’s clinic offers a full range of conservative treatments that are effective for mild to moderate knee conditions:

•  Physiotherapy & Exercise Rehabilitation: Customized programs to strengthen the muscles around the knee, improve flexibility, and reduce pain.
• Corticosteroid Injections: Fast-acting anti-inflammatory injections that provide relief for 3–6 months in arthritic knees.
• Hyaluronic Acid (Viscosupplementation): Lubricating injections that mimic natural joint fluid, useful in early to moderate osteoarthritis.
• PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy: A regenerative treatment using the patient’s own blood to stimulate healing in damaged cartilage and tendons.
• Activity Modification & Weight Management Guidance: Every 1 kg of body weight adds approximately 4 kg of stress on the knee. Dr. Kadu’s team provides practical guidance on lifestyle changes that make a measurable difference.
