What Happens During Your Consultation?

A consultation for total knee replacement begins with a detailed discussion about pain location, stiffness, swelling, walking tolerance, work demands, sports goals, previous injuries, and earlier treatment. Dr. Gopala Krishna examines movement, strength, stability, alignment, and tender areas so the diagnosis is based on both symptoms and clinical findings.

When required, X-rays, MRI, CT scan, blood tests, or other investigations are reviewed to understand the condition clearly. The findings are explained in simple terms, including what can improve with non-surgical care, what may need a procedure, and what recovery normally involves for the selected treatment option.

Personalized Care Plan

The care plan is built around comfort, mobility, safety, and long-term joint function. Patients receive practical guidance on medicines, exercise, physiotherapy, weight-bearing, braces or supports, injection options, activity changes, and follow-up timing. If surgery is recommended, the reason for surgery, expected benefit, hospital process, rehabilitation milestones, and precautions are discussed before the patient decides.

• Detailed diagnosis with clinical examination and imaging review

• Clear explanation of non-surgical and surgical treatment choices

• Recovery guidance for walking, work, exercise, and daily routines

• Follow-up plan to track pain relief, movement, strength, and function

Recovery Milestones We Track

Follow-up care is used to monitor pain control, wound or swelling status when relevant, range of motion, muscle strength, balance, walking pattern, stair comfort, and confidence with routine activity. The aim is steady recovery without rushing the joint, tendon, ligament, or bone beyond what is safe for that stage of healing.
