Career AIMS/Interests
My special interests in Orthopaedics are COMPLEX PRIMARY & REVISION HIP and KNEE JOINT REPLACEMENTS. The use of computer navigation to fine tune the results of knee replacement surgery is also an ongoing agenda. Training in the U.K.has helped me develop these interests further. My fellowship and senior registrar posts offered me extensive experience in the same with my Consultant and Sr Registrar posts giving me a chance to do up to 5-6 joint replacements per week.
I envisage myself taking up a Consultant post in Mumbai focusing on my subspecialty interests of lower limb joint replacements and complex trauma stabilisations. I have a special interest in revision joint replacement and the necessary training to develop it further, given the right infrastructure and opportunities.
