Orthopedic Surgeon for Patients from Katargam, Surat

Katargam's working population — long days in the textile industry, diamond-sorting workshops, and construction — puts sustained stress on knees, hips, and shoulders. Dr. Aman Khanna addresses the full range of orthopaedic problems that result from both occupational wear and sports or accidental injury.

• Knee osteoarthritis — cartilage loss that causes bone-on-bone pain, stiffness after sitting, and difficulty on stairs. Managed with a step-wise approach from conservative care through to knee replacement when indicated.
• Hip pain and avascular necrosis (AVN) — groin pain radiating to the thigh, limping, and restricted hip movement. AVN of the femoral head is particularly common in patients on long-term steroids. Assessed for hip replacement or joint-preserving options depending on the stage.
• ACL tears and sports ligament injuries — a giving-way knee, instability on pivoting, and swelling after a twist or fall. ACL reconstruction using the patient's own tendon graft restores stability for active patients.
• Meniscus tears — locking, clicking, or localised joint-line pain. Arthroscopic meniscus repair or trimming (meniscectomy) is performed based on the tear pattern and patient profile.
• Sports injuries to shoulder and knee — rotator cuff tears, shoulder instability, and cartilage defects addressed through sports-injury arthroscopy.
• Fractures and trauma — periarticular fractures around the knee, hip, or ankle requiring fixation or specialist management.

Katargam and the surrounding corridor — Kamrej, Varachha, Sarthana — have limited access to a sub-specialist orthopaedic surgeon with both joint replacement and arthroscopy expertise. Dr. Khanna's training and practice scope covers both ends of that spectrum: from a keyhole ACL reconstruction for a young athlete to a total knee replacement for a 65-year-old with end-stage osteoarthritis.
