The pace bowler was in excellent form with figures of 6-25 as the hosts dominated the opening day of the fourth Test in the five-match series at Old Trafford on Thursday.
Speaking after play had finished, Broad confirmed he is set to have a procedure to correct a long-term patella problem, but expects to be fit for the World Cup and Ashes series in 2015.
"It has got to the stage where it needs to be done," Broad said. "I should be fine for the World Cup.
"The timing is not confirmed. The man is flying over from Sweden at the end of the Oval Test to have a look.
"In the past 18 months I could have had an op at any stage but it has got to the stage where it needs to be done.
"[Fellow English bowlers] Toby Roland-Jones and Stuart Meaker had it done at the end of last season and it's about three months, or three-and-a-half months [recovery period].
"The 2015 schedule looks really busy so all the players will have to be as fit as they possibly can going into that period."
Broad's excellent performance with the ball helped restrict India to 152 all out and England were just 39 runs adrift at stumps after closing on 113-3.
And the 28-year-old was thrilled that England took advantage of favourable bowling conditions.
"I was a bit disappointed when we lost the toss because I thought it would be a decent deck for batting," Broad added. "Australia made 527-7 declared in the first innings here last year but we got lucky with the overheads.
"It clouded over and started swinging. Credit to the bowlers that we got the ball in that pitched up area.
"It's easy on bouncier wickets to fall into the trap of bowling too short. We challenged that shorter length and our catching behind the wicket was fantastic."
