Qualification

Experience
  • After completing a fellowship program in Robotic Joint Replacement in Pune, I furthered my expertise with a Fellowship in Primary and Revision Joint Replacement Surgery in Adelaide, Australia. Subsequently, I served as a Consultant Joint Replacement Surgeon at Lokmanya Hospital in Pune for nearly seven years, accumulating a wealth of experience.
  • During my career, I have successfully performed close to 2000 joint replacement surgeries, encompassing a variety of procedures, including robotic joint replacements. I am well-versed in the utilization of various robotic systems such as Navio and Cori (Smith and Nephew), Rosa (Zimmer), and Velys (Johnson & Johnson).
  • In the course of my practice over the past seven years, I have executed both straightforward and intricate joint replacement surgeries. Moreover, I collaborated closely with an anesthesia team to develop a preemptive analgesia technique aimed at minimizing post-surgery pain in joint replacement patients.
