Knee Joint Preservation
Knee joint preservation aims to delay or completely prevent the progression of osteoarthritis, protecting and maintaining your natural knee structure. Dr. Yugal Varandani employs advanced non-surgical and surgical options, including biomechanical realignment and regenerative therapies, to preserve natural joints in active individuals.
Joint Preservation Techniques
Meniscus Preservation
Meniscus repair & reconstructionThe meniscus is the knee's primary shock absorber. Rather than removing torn meniscus tissue (meniscectomy)—which accelerates cartilage wear and leads to early arthritis—we specialize in meniscus repair, root repairs, and stabilization to conserve cushioning.

Cartilage regeneration & graftingOnce knee cartilage is damaged, it cannot heal on its own. We utilize advanced microfracture, Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI), and osteochondral grafting to restore the joint's smooth surface and prevent widespread joint deterioration.

High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO)Bow-legged (varus) or knock-kneed (valgus) alignment places excessive pressure on one side of the knee joint. We perform joint-preserving osteotomies to realign the leg, shifts weight load to the healthy side, and significantly delay joint replacement.
