Understanding Your Condition
Where You Are in Your Treatment Journey
A responsible orthopaedic approach scales treatment to the severity of your cartilage loss.
1
Early Management
- Targeted physiotherapy to strengthen supporting muscles, weight management, and activity modification.
2
Medical Interventions
- NSAIDs and ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injections for short-term inflammation and pain control.
3
Advanced Treatment
- When conventional injections no longer provide relief, advanced injectable therapies and surgical options are carefully considered to restore long-term joint function.
Treatment Options
What are the Treatment Options for Knee Arthritis?
For decades, non-surgical options were limited to temporary steroid injections or short-acting hyaluronic acid. Advanced orthopaedic care now offers a wider range of targeted, evidence-based treatments tailored to every stage of arthritis progression.
The Biomechanics of Knee Osteoarthritis
Understanding Your Joint Pain - Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive, degenerative condition.
The smooth articular cartilage covering the ends of your thigh and shin bones slowly wears away.
Without this protective layer, bones rub directly against one another.
The joint lining (synovium) becomes highly inflamed, producing excess, poor-quality fluid that causes painful swelling and profound joint stiffness.
Historically, patients were forced to rely on temporary steroid injections or wait in agony until the joint was damaged enough to justify a total knee replacement.
The Treatment Options
A Staged, Personalised Treatment Plan - tailored to the severity of your cartilage loss and your lifestyle goals.
Physiotherapy, muscle strengthening, weight management, and activity modification form the foundation of early-stage treatment. .
Ultrasound-guided corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid injections control inflammation and relieve pain without surgery.
When injections no longer provide lasting relief, advanced therapies offer durable cushioning and delay the need for surgery.
For end-stage arthritis, Mr. Sobti performs precise total or partial knee replacement to restore full joint function.

Step 4: Treatment
