Treatments Offered by Dr. Rajesh Malhotra

Robotic Joint Replacement

Advanced technology is used to increase precision when performing robotic assisted joint replacement (total hip and total knee arthroplasty). This cutting edge technique is offered at Rajesh Malhotra's clinic, which guarantees accurate implant positioning, quicker recovery, and less pain.

Total and Partial Knee Replacement

Knee replacements are done to help patients with severe knee arthritis or damage relieve pain and increase mobility. Depending on how much of the knee is damaged, Malhotra performs total knee replacements or partial knee replacements using minimally invasive techniques that speed recovery.

Ligament Reconstruction and Arthroscopy

Dr. Malhotra performs ligament reconstruction surgery for patients with ligament tears, especially in the knee. A minimally invasive technique, arthroscopy, is used to repair damaged ligaments, reducing recovery and postoperative pain.

Patella Stabilization

Recurring knee dislocations and pain are common associated features of patellar instability. Dr. Malhotra’s patella stabilization approach works to realign and strengthen the knee joint and allow patients to regain stability and movement without further dislocations.

Total Hip Replacement

People who have chronic hip pain from arthritis or injury are told to have total hip replacement. The latest techniques are used to replace a damaged hip joint with a prosthetic, allowing patients to regain their mobility, says Malhotra.
