🌍✨ Celebrating World Physiotherapy Day ✨🌍

Today, on World Physiotherapy Day, we take a moment to appreciate and celebrate the incredible contribution of our physiotherapy team 🙌.

What started in 2018 with just one dedicated physiotherapist – Mahendra (our lead physiotherapist) has now grown into a strong team of 10 professionals – each bringing their expertise, compassion, and commitment to patient recovery. 💪❤️

From tirelessly supporting post-operative rehabilitation to travelling across distant parts of Bangalore to ensure patients get the best possible care, this team has truly become an integral part of our growth story at VNC Orthopaedic Clinic.

Your dedication has helped countless patients regain mobility, strength, and confidence after surgery. We are deeply grateful for your support, teamwork, and passion in making recovery smoother and faster for our patients. 🌟

Here’s to many more milestones together! 🙏💙

Happy World Physiotherapy Day! 🎉

🙏 Honoured and Grateful 🙏

I am humbled to be featured once again among the Best Doctors – South India for Joint Replacement in the prestigious Best Doctors South 2025 list by outlook magazine.

This marks my fourth consecutive year (2022, 2023, 2024 & now 2025) of being recognized for excellence in orthopaedics, joint replacements, and revision surgeries.

Such recognition is not mine alone — it reflects the trust of my patients, the encouragement of my mentors, and the tireless dedication of my team at VNC Orthopaedic Clinic & Manipal Hospital, Jayanagar.

My mission remains the same: to make advanced joint replacement surgeries — whether robotic, conventional, or complex revisions — accessible, precise, and patient-centric.

Thank you for your continued faith and support. Together, we move forward towards restoring mobility and improving lives. 💙🦴

⚠️ PRP for Knee Arthritis: A Reality Check! ⚠️

As an orthopaedic surgeon, I always prioritize evidence-based treatments. Recent reports from top orthopaedic institutions confirm that PRP therapy for knee osteoarthritis lacks scientific backing and is being falsely promoted as a “miracle cure.”

🔹 No proven benefits for cartilage regeneration or long-term pain relief
🔹 Misleading promotions using celebrities and unqualified personnel
🔹 75+ senior orthopaedic surgeons have raised concerns about unethical marketing

Patients deserve real solutions, not false hope. If you’re struggling with knee pain, consult a qualified expert to explore treatments that truly work!

🦴 **Hip Replacement Transformation** 🦴

**Before**: Advanced arthritis and joint damage caused pain and limited mobility.
**After**: A complex hip replacement restored alignment and function, paving the way for a pain-free life!

💡 **Did you know?** Hip replacements are often recommended for severe arthritis, fractures, or joint deterioration. Modern techniques ensure faster recovery and lasting results.

“Privileged to lead a cadaver course at MS Ramaiah Advanced Learning Center as the faculty member, focusing on total knee and hip replacement surgeries. It was a very good opportunity to guide and mentor fellows and the next generation of orthopaedic surgeons, helping them refine their skills and enhance their understanding of joint replacement procedures. Truly rewarding to contribute to the future of orthopaedic excellence. Thanks Meril for this opportunity. ”

Had the honor of being invited as one of the two faculty members at the Basic Shoulder Arthroscopy and Instability Cadaver Course organized by Arthrex at their Arthrolab center in Bangalore. It was a privilege to guide and simplify the art of shoulder arthroscopy for 8 talented delegates from across India. A wonderful experience sharing knowledge and advancing skills with the next generation of surgeons!
