About Us
Arthroplasty is comparatively a later super-specialty of Orthopedics in India. Till 1970 only operations commonly practiced worth endoprosthetic operation (mono / bipolar) was mainly done for sub-capital, fractures in the elderly, non union neck femur and in exceptional case of AVN incidence which was rising in view of uncontrolled use of cortisone and alcoholism. Hip Arthroplasty was commonly practiced in the later part of the 20th century. Challenges during those times were non availability of instrumentation, lack of infra structure and training. Dr K T Dholakia and Dr K V Chaubal in Mumbai, Dr K H Sancheti in Pune, Dr P S Maini in Delhi, Dr ON Nagi in Chandigarh did conventional cemented Hip Arthroplasty. In 1980 at the Silver Jubilee Conference of Indian Orthopaedic Associatiionin Mumbai, I had the good fortune of organizing the first live demonstration of Charnley’s cemented mono - block femoral and plastic cup.
