Knee and shoulder injuries remain among the most common orthopaedic challenges today, with nearly 70% of cases linked to everyday falls, according to specialists at Apollo Hospitals in Ahmedabad. To tackle this growing burden, the hospital has launched Apollo Restore+, a dedicated center designed to provide seamless, end-to-end care for knee and shoulder conditions.
The center was inaugurated by Padma Shri Dr. Vishnu Pandya, renowned journalist and former Chairman of the Gujarat Sahitya Academy, alongside sports personalities Mr. Krishan Pandya of the Gujarat Kabaddi Team and Mr. Dhruv Raval, Coach of the Gujarat Cricket Team.
Apollo Restore+ Approach to Joint Care
“Apollo Restore+ is designed to deliver evidence-based, multidisciplinary care that spans from diagnosis to complete recovery,” said Cdr. Jelson Kavalakkat, CEO of Apollo Hospitals. “This initiative reflects our mission to enhance outcomes for patients of all ages with joint-related conditions.”
According to Dr. Krunal Soni, Orthopedic Surgeon, the majority of injuries stem from road accidents, domestic slips, and unexpected falls. In contrast, athletes face more predictable patterns such as twisting knee injuries and shoulder dislocations due to the physical demands of sports like Kabaddi, Cricket, Football, and Badminton.
Dr. Soni emphasized the role of age-specific patterns: knee injuries and dislocations are most common in those aged 15–45 years, while soft tissue shoulder injuries occur more frequently in adults aged 35–65. “Treatment strategies must be individualized, not only to the type of injury but also to the patient’s lifestyle and functional needs,” he explained.
Advanced Treatments and Faster Recovery
At Apollo Restore+, patients gain access to the latest in orthopedic treatments, including advanced arthroscopy surgery. This minimally invasive technique uses smaller incisions, causes less trauma, improves visualization, and enables faster recovery times, helping patients return to normal activities with confidence.
“Rehabilitation is not just about repairing the body, but about restoring mobility, independence, and self-assurance,” said Dr. Jatin Vakharia, Consultant – Orthopaedics & Joint Replacement. Each patient receives a personalized rehabilitation plan tailored to both short-term recovery goals and long-term wellness.
What sets Apollo Restore+ apart is its fully integrated program that combines medical evaluation, surgical expertise, and structured physiotherapy under one roof. This approach ensures continuity of care, minimizing delays and maximizing patient outcomes.
With its launch, Apollo Hospitals, Ahmedabad, reaffirms its position as a leader in comprehensive orthopedic care in India, addressing not only the physical repair of injuries but also the holistic recovery of patients.
