In this eye-opening podcast, Dr Ashwani Maichand, Director of Orthopaedics at CK Birla Hospital, Delhi NCR, and Senior Consultant at Minomax Orthopaedics, explains why traditional knee replacement surgery is not always ideal for Indian bodies and lifestyles. With advanced joint replacement training from the US and Germany, he sheds light on why knee arthritis in India is increasing at a younger age, why damage often starts on the inner side of the knee, and why women tend to experience faster progression. Dr Maichand also discusses how repeated temporary treatments delay effective care and push patients toward knee replacement as a last resort. He introduces the Meniscus Replacement Procedure (MRP), a minimally invasive knee surgery focused on joint preservation, restoring natural knee biomechanics, slowing arthritis progression, and helping patients maintain daily Indian activities. If you’re searching for knee replacement alternatives, knee arthritis treatment in India, or a trusted knee pain specialist in Delhi, this podcast offers clarity, hope, and real options beyond replacement. Your knee may not need replacement, it may need preservation. A must-watch podcast for anyone who cares about their and their parent's joint health.
