Types

Types of osteoarthritis.

Primary OsteoarthritisSecondary OsteoarthritisErosive Osteoarthritis

Primary Osteoarthritis

Age-related cartilage breakdown with no identifiable underlying cause, typically affecting weight-bearing joints like knees and hips after age 55.

Secondary Osteoarthritis

Joint degeneration resulting from injury, infection, genetic defects, or other medical conditions that damage cartilage structure and function.

Erosive Osteoarthritis

Aggressive form primarily affecting hand joints with inflammatory episodes, causing rapid joint destruction and deformity formation.

Causes

What causes osteoarthritis?

Multiple factors can contribute to the development and progression of this condition.

Age-related cartilage deterioration
Previous joint injuries or trauma
Obesity and excess weight stress
Genetic predisposition and hereditary factors
Symptoms

Signs to look out for.

Osteoarthritis develops gradually. Recognising symptoms early gives you more treatment options.

Early StageMild discomfort
Mild joint stiffness after inactivity
Occasional aching pain during movement
Slight reduction in joint flexibility
ModerateIncreasing impact
Persistent joint pain and swelling
Morning stiffness lasting 30+ minutes
Noticeable limitation in range of motion
AdvancedSignificant limitation
Severe constant joint pain at rest
Significant functional disability and immobility
Joint deformity with bone spur formation

Our Approach

How we handle this condition.

A structured, patient-first approach from first visit to full recovery.

Step 01

Comprehensive Assessment

Dr Sushil Rangdal conducts thorough clinical examination combined with advanced imaging studies to accurately diagnose osteoarthritis severity and joint involvement.

Step 02

Personalized Treatment Planning

Development of individualized treatment protocols considering patient age, activity level, joint condition, and personal goals using evidence-based approaches.

Step 03

Advanced Surgical Intervention

When conservative treatments are insufficient, Dr Sushil Rangdal employs cutting-edge robotic technology for precise joint replacement or arthroscopic procedures.

Step 04

Comprehensive Recovery Support

Structured rehabilitation program with physical therapy guidance, pain management protocols, and regular follow-up monitoring to ensure optimal healing and function restoration.

Recovery

Recovery & aftercare.

What to expect at each phase of recovery.

Initial Healing (0-6 weeks)Functional Recovery (6-12 weeks)Long-term Maintenance (3+ months)

Initial Healing (0-6 weeks)

Focus on wound healing, pain control, and basic mobility restoration with graduated weight-bearing and gentle range-of-motion exercises under professional guidance.

Functional Recovery (6-12 weeks)

Progressive strengthening exercises, advanced mobility training, and return to daily activities with continued physical therapy and movement optimization.

Long-term Maintenance (3+ months)

Ongoing exercise programs, lifestyle modifications, and periodic monitoring to maintain joint function and prevent future complications or adjacent joint problems.

Outcomes

Success & outcomes.

Significant Pain Reduction

Marked improvement in joint pain levels with enhanced comfort during daily activities and rest periods following appropriate treatment interventions.

Restored Joint Function

Improved range of motion, stability, and functional capacity allowing return to previously limited activities and improved quality of life.

Enhanced Mobility

Better walking ability, reduced stiffness, and increased independence in performing routine tasks without assistance or adaptive equipment needs.

Long-term Joint Preservation

Slowed disease progression and protection of surrounding healthy joints through appropriate treatment and lifestyle modifications under expert care.

What happens if Osteoarthritis is left untreated?

Untreated osteoarthritis progressively worsens, leading to severe joint destruction, chronic pain, and significant functional disability. Advanced disease may result in complete loss of joint mobility, muscle weakness, and secondary complications affecting overall health and independence. Early intervention is crucial to prevent irreversible joint damage and maintain quality of life.

When should you see a doctor?

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience persistent joint pain lasting more than a few weeks, morning stiffness exceeding 30 minutes, or significant limitation in daily activities. Dr Sushil Rangdal recommends evaluation when joint symptoms interfere with sleep, work, or recreational activities, as early treatment provides the best outcomes for long-term joint health.
