Knee Preservation in Chandigarh

Best Orthopaedic Surgeon in Mohali: Dr. Vivek Bhatia

Expert Knee Preservation Treatment in Chandigarh
Orthomax 3D Knee Institute is Chandigarh’s dedicated centre for knee joint preservation — offering evidence-based, surgeon-led care designed to save your natural knee before replacement becomes necessary.
If you are experiencing knee pain, early arthritis, cartilage damage, or malalignment, you may be a candidate for preservation — not replacement.


What Is Knee Preservation?
Knee preservation is a clinical approach that repairs, regenerates, and realigns the knee joint to extend its natural lifespan. Unlike total knee replacement, knee joint preservation in Chandigarh maintains your original anatomy — reducing surgical risk, speeding recovery, and delivering more natural long-term function.
Suitable for patients who:
- Are between 25–60 years of age
- Have early to moderate knee joint damage
- Suffer from cartilage loss, ligament injuries, or bone malalignment
- Want to delay or avoid total knee replacement

Advanced Knee Preservation Techniques We Offer
Our surgeons are trained in a complete spectrum of advanced knee preservation techniques that go far beyond conventional treatment methods. These include:
- Arthroscopic Cartilage Repair – Minimally invasive repair of damaged cartilage using proven techniques such as microfracture, OATS (Osteochondral Autograft Transfer System), and ACI (Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation)
- High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) – A bone realignment procedure that redistributes body weight away from the damaged compartment of the knee, relieving pain and slowing further degeneration
- Partial (Unicompartmental) Knee Replacement – Replacing only the worn section of the joint while preserving all healthy surrounding tissue, resulting in a more natural feel and faster rehabilitation
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy – A regenerative injection therapy that uses concentrated growth factors from your own blood to reduce inflammation and accelerate tissue repair
- Stem Cell Therapy – Biologically advanced regenerative treatment designed to support cartilage healing and slow the progression of joint damage
- Ligament Reconstruction – Precision reconstruction of the ACL, PCL, and complex multi-ligament injuries to restore full joint stability and function
- Meniscus Preservation and Repair – Saving the meniscus wherever possible, rather than removing it, to protect the joint from future wear
Every one of these advanced knee preservation techniques is performed by our specialist team using state-of-the-art equipment in a fully equipped surgical facility, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum long-term benefit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is an ideal candidate for knee preservation in Chandigarh?
Patients under 60 with localised knee damage, early arthritis, or cartilage loss — who have not yet reached full joint degeneration — are typically good candidates. A clinical evaluation including X-rays and MRI will confirm suitability.
How is knee joint preservation different from knee replacement?
Knee replacement removes and replaces the entire joint. Knee joint preservation in Chandigarh repairs or realigns the existing joint — maintaining natural anatomy with faster recovery and fewer long-term complications.
How long does recovery take after a knee preservation procedure?
Minimally invasive procedures like PRP or arthroscopic repair: 6–12 weeks. Complex procedures like High Tibial Osteotomy: 3–6 months with structured rehabilitation.
Are advanced knee preservation techniques painful?
Most advanced knee preservation techniques are minimally invasive. Post-operative discomfort is significantly lower than total knee replacement, supported by our structured pain management protocols.
