Testimonial by Mrs. Ranju Bhattacharjee

Bilateral knee significant osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that affects both knees, causing significant pain and reduced mobility. The disease is primarily caused by the gradual breakdown of cartilage, the protective tissue that cushions the knee joint, resulting in bones rubbing against each other. Factors like aging, obesity, genetic predisposition, previous knee injuries, and repetitive stress can accelerate this process. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, swelling, a grinding sensation when moving the knee, and decreased range of motion. Diagnosis involves a thorough medical history, physical examination, and imaging tests. X-rays are essential for visualizing joint space, revealing cartilage loss, and identifying bone spurs. In some cases, MRI may be used to assess soft tissue damage.

Bilateral knee significant osteoarthritis requires a comprehensive treatment strategy to alleviate pain, improve function, and slow disease progression. Conservative, non-surgical methods are recommended, including lifestyle modifications like weight management, regular low-impact exercise, and physical therapy. Pain management may involve prescription medications, corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid injections, and assistive devices like canes or braces. If conservative treatments are insufficient, surgical options like arthroscopy or osteotomy may be considered. In severe cases, total knee replacement surgery may be necessary.

Mrs. Ranju Bhattacharjee from Siliguri successfully received treatment for Bilateral Knee Significant Osteoarthritis at Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad, under the supervision of Dr. Sunil Dachepalli, Senior Consultant Orthopaedic, Robotic Joint Replacement & Arthroscopic Surgeon.
