Rashmi Vaidya
Pioneering and Paradigm shifting Minimally invasive, Joint Preservation surgeon In Mumbai.
I sought the help of Dr Pranjal Kodkani for bilateral medial compartment Knee Osteoarthritis that I had developed due to multiple previous sports injuries to my knees. The only viable option I was given for this early onset OA was a knee replacement! I was unwilling to compromise on activities such as running, squatting and hi impact exercises like jumping, all of which are restricted after a knee replacement. I consider myself extremely lucky to have found Dr Kodkani, who went over my imaging, symptoms, surgical options and expected outcomes in great detail and strongly recommended Bilateral Medial Open Wedge High Tibial Osteotomies instead of the knee replacements. I underwent this procedure with him with an excellent outcome and am on the road to recovery. The attention to detail, precision in the surgical technique, the concerned post op visits to determine the degree of recovery and guided physiotherapy sessions were unparalleled. I understand this is a technique which is practiced by the few orthopedic surgeons the world over who feel passionate about preserving the knee joint structures as much as possible rather than replacing it with metal and plastic. I travelled from the US to India for this surgery and I have no hesitation in asserting that I would do it again in heartbeat given the excellent care I got all throughout under Dr Kodkani's supervision. This is a surgeon who is not only a trailblazer but a compassionate physician who has the courage of his conviction to advice the appropriate management and who cares about the outcome for each patient.
