\"sainaSaina Nehwal underwent right knee surgery at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani hospital on Saturday morning, says a report in The Hindu, adding that she had sustained it during the Rio Olympics.<\/p>\n

Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala, Head of centre for sports medicine & Director, arthroscopy & shoulder service, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital said, “Saina had sustained an intra-articular injury (inside the joint) to her right knee. A small fragment of bone had separated from her patella (knee cap bone). This displaced fragment was causing her impingement and pain. She underwent arthroscopic surgery and is back in her room.” Saina was admitted to the hospital in Hyderabad and flew down to Mumbai to undergo the surgery.<\/p>\n

Speaking to TOI Sports after the surgery, Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala said he was amazed that Saina had managed to get through two matches at the Rio Olympics with such a severe injury.<\/p>\n

“Its a bad injury. An athlete with this injury will find it extremely difficult to bend the knee and lunge. I am surprised she managed to play even with strapping, pain killers, and a dexamethasone local injection,” said Dr Pardiwala, head of the Centre for Sports Medicine and Director, Arthroscopy & Shoulder Service at Mumbai’s Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
