If you have persistent joint pain and difficulty in mobility, you should visit Dr. Anindansu Basu, an excellent orthopaedic doctor. His first approach to treating joint pain is always through non-invasive procedures like medication, physical therapy, loss of body weight, synovial fluid restoration therapy, chondroplasty, biological augmentation with injections e.g PRPP, Autologous chondrocyte implantation and obviously changes in lifestyle. Only when these treatments fail to relieve pain, he recommends joint replacement surgery. He individually evaluates each patient’s to determine the extent of the damaged joint. He is an ardent follower in assessing the functional knee score periodically so as to understand the response of the ailing knees to the current treatment strategy very similar to European countries. This evaluation includes a full medical history of the patient, blood tests, X-rays and other imaging tests.
