The Konkan region, known for its rugged terrain and winding ghats, poses unique physical challenges for its residents—especially farmers and laborers. Frequent incidents such as falls from trees, heavy load-related injuries, or road mishaps often result in serious orthopedic trauma. In the past, such accidents meant lifelong disability for many. However, thanks to the advanced care and expertise available at our hospital’s Orthopedic Department, such outcomes are being prevented.
Our Orthopedic Department is a center of excellence, equipped with a dedicated modular operation theatre, state-of-the-art Image Intensifiers, and all necessary infrastructure for performing advanced joint and spine surgeries.
We offer a wide range of procedures including:
- Total Knee and Hip Replacement
- Balloon Kyphoplasty for collapsed vertebrae
- Minimally invasive spine surgeries
- Trauma and fracture management
These surgeries are performed by highly skilled orthopedic and spine surgeons with extensive experience. Our specialized services are now attracting patients not just from the Konkan region, but from across major cities—many of whom benefit from affordable or government-supported treatments.
In addition to clinical services, the department is actively involved in education and research:
- A Fellowship Program in Joints and Spine is run in collaboration with the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS).
- International-level research is ongoing in the use of Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) to accelerate soft tissue healing.
- Dr. Sunil Nadkarni, renowned spine surgeon, leads a BIRAC-funded research project under the Government of India, exploring regenerative techniques using minimal patient blood and tissue samples in a dedicated Tissue Culture Lab.
- With a mission to combine affordability, innovation, and surgical excellence, the Orthopedic Department continues to restore mobility, independence, and quality of life to thousands.
