An aspiring and dedicated Orthopaedic Surgeon, having completed Master of Surgery (M.S.) in Orthopaedics training in India. My clinical focus and practical experience lie in Orthopaedic Trauma and Lower Limb Arthroplasties, encompassing both primary and complex revision cases of the hip and knee. I have had the valuable opportunity to independently perform over a hundred Total Hip Replacements (THR) and have been actively involved in assisting more than a thousand primary and revision hip and knee replacement procedures. I am committed to continuous learning and eager to develop proficiency in advanced techniques such as Hip Arthroscopies, Knee Arthroscopies, the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) for Hip Replacement, and Robotic Knee Replacements. I am also dedicated to research in these areas to further advance patient care.
