Know your surgeon

Treatments
What we treat
Each of these has its own page explaining what the procedure involves, who actually needs it, and what recovery looks like week by week.
Myth or fact?
The words doctors use, explained Things patients often believe
Tap a belief to see the plainer truth. None of these are silly — most of them were medical advice once.
Walking on level ground keeps the muscles that protect the joint strong and helps cartilage stay nourished. It is stairs, slopes, squatting and long standing that aggravate an arthritic knee — ration those, keep walking.
Osteoarthritis explainedMost people with arthritis on an X-ray never need an operation. Treatment is decided by how much the joint limits your life, not by what the film looks like. Many worn-looking knees stay comfortable for years on exercise, weight control and the occasional injection.
Non-surgical arthritis careModern implants commonly last fifteen to twenty years or more. How long yours lasts depends on your weight, activity, bone quality and how well the implant is positioned — which is why the operation is planned carefully rather than rushed.
Robotic knee replacementA careful examination and an X-ray answer the question in most cases. An MRI is most useful when a soft-tissue injury such as a meniscus or ligament tear is suspected, or when surgery is being planned — not as a first step for every ache.
Knee pain explainedA few days of rest after an injury is sensible. Weeks of rest weaken the very muscles that protect the joint and make most problems worse. Gentle, regular movement within comfort is almost always the better prescription.
Start with what hurtsIt is more common in women, but men account for a substantial share of hip fractures, and men are less likely to be tested or treated. A fracture from a minor fall, at any age past fifty, is a reason to check bone density.

Questions
What patients ask us most
Call or WhatsApp the clinic on +91 96998 99937. The clinic is open Monday to Saturday, 8:30 am to 6:30 pm, and closed on Sunday. Say what hurts and roughly how long it has been going on, and the receptionist will find you a slot with the right doctor.
Poona Orthopaedic Clinic, Kondhwa is open Monday to Saturday, 8:30 am to 6:30 pm, and both doctors consult there during clinic hours. Dr. Harish Keswani also consults at Ruby Hall Clinic, Wanowrie on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, 9 to 10 am. Call ahead to be sure of a slot with the doctor you want to see.
Bring any previous X-rays, MRI or CT scans and their reports (the films themselves, not only the reports), a list of the medicines you currently take, details of past surgeries, and your insurance or TPA card if you have one. Wear or bring loose clothing so the affected limb can be examined properly.
Yes. Bringing your existing scans and reports makes a second opinion far more useful, because the discussion can focus on the findings and the options rather than on repeating investigations.
Most orthopaedic problems are treated without an operation. Surgery is recommended when the diagnosis clearly calls for it, or when a fair trial of non-surgical treatment has not given enough relief. You should always leave a consultation understanding what the non-surgical options are and what happens if you wait.
Both doctors are attached to Ruby Hall Clinic, Pune — Dr. Harish Keswani at Wanowrie, Dr. Atul Keswani at Sassoon Road and Wanowrie. Where an operation is advised, the hospital, the admission process and the likely stay are explained at the consultation.
Not sure which of these describes your problem?
That is exactly what a consultation is for. Bring any scans you already have, and you will leave understanding what is wrong and what the options are.
