Orthopaedic doctor in Adajan, Surat — ACL & knee pain specialist
Adajan's Ring Road evening cricket grounds and VIP Road walking track generate more ACL tears and ligament sprains per square kilometre than almost anywhere else in Surat — Dr. Aman Khanna's fellowship-trained ACL and knee-ligament expertise is built exactly for this population.
Adajan is Surat's largest west-bank residential zone — a self-contained city strung along Adajan Road, Ring Road and VIP Road, with established societies, newer high-rises and a sporting culture that runs all evening. The open grounds along Ring Road fill with cricket and badminton players after sunset; the VIP Road walking track sees hundreds of joggers on any given evening. That level of activity has a predictable clinical footprint: ACL tears from direction-change in cricket and badminton, medial ligament sprains from uneven ground, and overuse knee pain (patellar tendinopathy, IT band syndrome) in the regular runners. Evening sport is peak-injury time — a twisted knee at 8 PM needs clear guidance on what to do next.
Dr. Aman Khanna consults at Mahavir Health Campus, Athwa Gate. From Adajan, the route is straightforward: take the Adajan Bridge (or, if coming from the Rander Road side, the Rander Bridge) across to the Athwa bank, then head south on Ring Rd toward Athwa Gate. Mahavir Health Campus is on Ring Rd, Athwa Gate — approximately 10–15 minutes depending on bridge traffic. His fellowship training in hip and knee sports medicine, taken at Lyon Croix-Rousse University Hospital in France, is specifically focused on the ACL and ligament surgery that forms so much of the west-bank sporting caseload.

Questions from Adajan patients
I felt my knee give way while playing on Ring Road grounds — could this be an ACL tear?
A knee that gives way, especially with swelling soon after the injury, is a classic sign worth assessing for an ACL or other ligament injury. Not every giving-way episode is an ACL tear, but it's worth ruling out early.
Is ACL surgery always necessary after a tear?
No. Some patients, especially those less involved in cutting or pivoting sports, do well with structured rehabilitation alone. The decision depends on your activity level, knee stability and goals, discussed in detail before deciding.
How long does recovery from ACL reconstruction take?
Recovery is gradual and staged over months rather than weeks, with physiotherapy milestones rather than a fixed date for return to sport — this is planned individually rather than promised as a fixed timeline.
Do you treat knee pain that isn't from an obvious injury?
Yes — general knee pain from overuse, early arthritis or mechanical issues is assessed the same way, with joint-preserving options considered where appropriate.
