Why Patients Choose Prof. Divya Prakash
Thousands of patients seek specialist knee care because knee pain can significantly impact daily life. Climbing stairs, walking, exercising, playing sports, or simply getting out of bed can become difficult.
Patients choose Prof. Divya Prakash because of his:
- Extensive experience in complex knee surgery
- Specialist focus on sports medicine and ligament injuries
- Expertise in cartilage preservation and regeneration
- Robotic-assisted knee replacement techniques
- Joint preservation philosophy whenever possible

- Evidence-based surgical decision making
- Comprehensive rehabilitation approach
Rather than recommending surgery immediately, every patient receives a detailed clinical assessment to determine whether physiotherapy, injections, biologic treatments, or minimally invasive surgery may provide the best outcome.
Areas of Clinical Expertise
Knee Sports Injuries
Sports injuries can affect athletes at every level, from elite professionals to recreational runners.
Prof. Divya Prakash regularly treats:
- ACL tears
- PCL injuries
- MCL injuries
- Meniscus tears
- Patella instability
- Cartilage injuries
- Tendon injuries
- Multi-ligament knee injuries
Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment help restore knee stability while reducing the risk of long-term joint damage.
ACL Reconstruction Surgery
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries are among the most common sporting injuries. Prof. Divya Prakash performs modern ACL reconstruction techniques designed to restore knee stability and allow patients to safely return to sport following structured rehabilitation.
Cartilage Restoration & Regeneration
Instead of replacing the joint immediately, Prof. Divya Prakash specialises in cartilage preservation procedures where appropriate, helping suitable patients delay or avoid knee replacement surgery.
His specialist interests include cartilage regeneration and transplantation techniques for carefully selected patients.
Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery
Technology has transformed modern orthopaedic surgery. Prof. Divya Prakash offers robotic-assisted knee replacement for suitable patients. Robotic surgery does not replace the surgeon—it enhances surgical accuracy while allowing the surgeon to remain fully in control throughout the procedure.
Partial Knee Replacement
Not every patient with arthritis requires a total knee replacement. If arthritis affects only one compartment of the knee, a partial knee replacement may preserve healthy bone and ligaments while relieving pain. A detailed clinical assessment determines whether a patient is suitable for this procedure.
Total Knee Replacement
For advanced arthritis affecting the entire knee, total knee replacement remains one of the most successful procedures in modern orthopaedics. Prof. Divya Prakash combines meticulous surgical planning with modern implant technology and structured rehabilitation to optimise outcomes.
Arthroscopic (Keyhole) Knee Surgery
Keyhole surgery allows many knee conditions to be treated through very small incisions.
Hip & Ankle Expertise
Although recognised primarily for knee surgery, Prof. Divya Prakash also provides specialist treatment for:
- Hip replacement
- Sports ankle injuries
- Arthroscopic ankle surgery
- Lower limb reconstruction

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I see a knee specialist?
If knee pain lasts longer than six weeks, repeatedly swells, locks, gives way, or limits everyday activities despite conservative treatment, a specialist assessment is recommended.
Can I avoid knee replacement?
Many patients can benefit from physiotherapy, injections, cartilage restoration, ligament surgery, or other joint-preserving procedures before knee replacement becomes necessary.
Is robotic knee replacement better?
Robotic-assisted surgery can improve implant positioning and surgical precision for suitable patients, although outcomes also depend on patient selection, rehabilitation, and surgical expertise.
How long does recovery take?
Recovery varies depending on the procedure. Arthroscopic surgery may take weeks, while ligament reconstruction and knee replacement usually require several months of structured rehabilitation.
Do I need an MRI before my appointment?
Not always. During your consultation, Prof. Divya Prakash will determine whether further imaging is needed based on your symptoms and examination.
