Welcome to the Knee Preserving Surgery page at Dr. Nikhil S. Charde’s orthopaedic practice.

Understanding Knee Preserving Surgery
Knee preserving surgery includes a range of surgical techniques aimed at treating knee conditions while preserving the knee’s natural structure. These procedures are ideal for patients with early to mid-stage osteoarthritis, cartilage damage, or other knee issues that do not yet require a total knee replacement. By addressing the specific problem areas within the knee, these surgeries help to alleviate pain, improve function, and delay the progression of joint degeneration.
Conditions Treated with Knee Preserving Surgery
Dr. Nikhil S. Charde utilizes knee preserving surgery to treat various conditions, including:
- Osteoarthritis: Early to mid-stage arthritis causing cartilage breakdown and knee pain.
- Meniscal Tears: Tears in the meniscus, the cartilage that cushions the knee joint.
- Cartilage Defects: Damage to the articular cartilage that lines the ends of the bones in the knee.
- Ligament Injuries: Injuries to the ligaments that stabilize the knee, such as the ACL or PCL.
- Knee Misalignment: Abnormal alignment of the knee joint that leads to uneven wear and tear.
Types of Knee Preserving Surgeries
Dr. Nikhil S. Charde offers a variety of knee preserving surgeries tailored to the specific needs of each patient:
1. Arthroscopy
- Minimally Invasive Surgery: Using small incisions and a camera, Dr. Charde performs procedures such as meniscus repair, cartilage debridement, and removal of loose bodies.
- Benefits: Faster recovery times, less pain, and minimal scarring.
2. Osteotomy
- Bone Realignment: Cutting and realigning the bones to redistribute weight across the knee joint, reducing pressure on the damaged area.
- Indications: Effective for patients with knee misalignment and early-stage arthritis.
3. Cartilage Restoration
- Techniques: Procedures such as microfracture, autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI), and osteochondral grafting to repair and regenerate damaged cartilage.
- Goal: To restore the smooth surface of the joint and reduce pain and stiffness.
4. Ligament Reconstruction
- Stabilization: Surgical reconstruction of torn ligaments, such as the ACL, to restore stability and function to the knee joint.
- Approach: Utilizes grafts from the patient’s own tissue or donor tissue.
5. Partial Knee Replacement
- Targeted Replacement: Replacing only the damaged part of the knee, preserving as much of the natural joint as possible.
- Benefits: Less invasive than total knee replacement, with quicker recovery and more natural knee movement.
