dr. anupam khandelwal - JOINT REJUVENATION & Repair

Joint rejuvenation represents a paradigm shift in modern orthopedics, focusing on the preservation and regeneration of joint structures rather than early joint replacement. At Dr. Anupam Khandelwal’s practice, we offer scientifically backed, minimally invasive solutions that are tailored to your individual joint health profile. The goal is simple yet powerful: restore function, relieve pain, and delay or avoid prosthetic intervention.


Understanding Joint Degeneration

Joint degeneration involves progressive cartilage loss, synovial inflammation, and subchondral bone changes—often seen in osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, and sports injuries. Traditional therapies focused on symptomatic relief, but joint rejuvenation shifts the focus toward biological repair, mechanical realignment, and cellular regeneration.


Latest Advances in Joint Rejuvenation

1. Orthobiologics & Cellular Therapy

Dr. Anupam Khandelwal incorporates leading regenerative options in treatment protocols of patients selected for Joint rejuvenation and repair treatment protocol :

1.1 Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

Rich in growth factors like PDGF, TGF-β, and VEGF. Evidence from peer-reviewed trials demonstrates improved pain scores and functional outcomes in mild to moderate osteoarthritis (Di Matteo et al., Am J Sports Med, 2016).

1.2 Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (BM-MSCs)

Shown to stimulate chondrocyte regeneration, improve joint space width, and modulate inflammatory cytokines (Jo et al., Stem Cells, 2014; Chahal et al., Arthroscopy, 2019).

1.3 Amniotic and Umbilical Tissue Allografts

An emerging frontier in non-cellular regenerative medicine. These matrices contain collagens, hyaluronic acid, and anti-inflammatory proteins that support joint recovery and pain reduction.

2. Visco-supplementation

2.1 Hyaluronic acid injections

High-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid injections replenish joint lubrication, improve shock absorption, and restore synovial fluid homeostasis.

3. Arthroscopic Joint Preservation

Minimally invasive procedures for selected patients include:

  • Cartilage debridement
  • Microfracture for focal defects
  • Meniscal repair or reshaping
  • Synovectomy for inflammatory control

4. Image-Guided Precision Interventions

Real-time ultrasound-guided intra-articular injections ensure targeted delivery of biologics with greater efficacy and reduced complications.


Multimodal Joint Rejuvenation Protocol

Each patient is evaluated holistically with a structured protocol:

  • Advanced imaging: MRI with cartilage mapping, dynamic ultrasound
  • Biomechanical evaluation
  • Personalized rehab with neuromuscular re-education
  • Nutritional optimization for collagen and joint matrix synthesis
  • Pharmacologic adjuncts (e.g., collagen peptides, glucosamine sulfate)

Indications for Joint Rejuvenation

You may be a candidate if you have:

  • Grade I–III osteoarthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence scale)
  • Focal chondral or osteochondral lesions
  • Early post-traumatic arthritis
  • Recurrent joint effusion without mechanical locking
  • Pain unresponsive to standard physiotherapy but not severe enough for replacement

Patient Testimonial

“I was told I’d need a knee replacement within a year. At 47, that was not an option I was ready for. After undergoing PRP therapy and a customized rehab plan under Dr. Khandelwal, I’m back to hiking with minimal discomfort. My MRI shows cartilage stability and no need for surgery yet. I’m beyond grateful.”
Mr. R***** S****, Pune
(Patient treated for early-stage medial compartment knee osteoarthritis)
