A Treatment Philosophy Built Around You
Dr. Vijaykumar is known for not rushing patients toward surgery. His practice model is simple:
- Listen and understand the full impact of the condition on the patient’s life
- Diagnose accurately using clinical examination and appropriate imaging
- Explain clearly — in plain language, without medical jargon
- Try non-surgical options first in every case where they have reasonable likelihood of success
- Recommend surgery only when conservative care has failed or when delay would be harmful
- Support the patient through recovery with clear milestones and realistic expectations
This approach has earned him the loyalty of patients who initially came for a second opinion and ended up choosing him as their long-term orthopedic surgeon.

What is the most common cause of knee pain in adults under 40?
In younger adults, the most common causes include meniscal tears, ligament injuries (especially ACL), patellar tendinopathy, plica syndrome, and early cartilage damage. These are often sports-related injuries.
When is hip replacement actually necessary?
Hip replacement is typically recommended when hip arthritis causes constant pain, severely limits walking, affects sleep, and has not improved with more than 6 months of conservative treatment including physiotherapy and injections.
Can I see Dr. Vijaykumar for a second opinion on a surgery recommendation?
Absolutely. Second opinions are welcomed. If you’ve been advised to undergo knee or hip replacement surgery and want an independent expert evaluation, Dr. Vijaykumar will review your history and imaging and provide an honest assessment.

PRP therapy can provide meaningful pain relief in mild-to-moderate knee arthritis, especially in younger patients. While it is not a permanent cure, it can significantly extend the non-surgical treatment period in appropriate cases.
How do I know if my back pain needs surgery or physiotherapy?
