Before any incision is made, before any instrument is picked up, this is where surgery truly begins.

Sterility is not just a protocol — it is a responsibility.
Every movement, every step, every habit inside the OT is designed to protect the patient.

These are the fundamentals we pass on to the next generation of surgeons, because good surgical outcomes start long before the procedure itself.

What you eat doesn’t just affect your weight it affects your joints, your recovery, and your long-term health.

In this conversation with Nutritionist Khyati Rupani, we explore the connection between nutrition and orthopaedic recovery from injury healing and surgery outcomes to managing joint pain and inflammation.

This is just a glimpse of a much deeper discussion on how science, nutrition, and orthopaedics work together to support healing.

This is one of the most critical phases after ACL reconstruction.

By this time, pain has reduced, swelling is settling, and the knee starts feeling more “normal.” Many patients feel confident and are tempted to do more than advised.

But internally, the new ACL graft is going through a process called ligamentisation — where it is actually temporarily weaker before it becomes stronger.

This means that even though the knee feels better, the graft is still vulnerable.

This phase should focus on:
• Controlled physiotherapy
• Regaining safe range of motion
• Muscle activation
• Protecting the graft

Not testing it.

The best ACL recoveries are not the fastest — they are the ones that respect biology and follow the right progression.

Patience here protects your knee for years to come.

🧊 Frozen shoulder does not have an instant cure.

It’s a condition that improves in phases — with time, the right treatment, and consistent rehabilitation.
There is no injection, exercise, or shortcut that can “fix” it overnight.

Pain control, guided physiotherapy, and patience are the real treatment pillars.
With proper care, most patients do recover — but rushing the process often leads to more pain and frustration.

Some conditions don’t need urgency — they need understanding.
Healing isn’t always fast, but it is possible. 💙

Lachman’s Test is one of the most reliable clinical tests to assess ACL integrity.
A simple examination that tells us a lot about knee stability — even before an MRI.

Running the Mumbai Marathon this year was truly special for me — both as a runner and as an orthopaedic surgeon.
What I loved most was seeing people of all ages out there, enjoying the run, pushing themselves, and just having fun.

One thing I always tell my patients (and follow myself) — hydrate well, wear shoes that actually suit your feet, and don’t ignore what your body is telling you. These small things make a huge difference.

Kudos to the organisers for the excellent support on the route — hydration points, medical help, and smooth facilities really help runners focus on the experience.

Movement is for everyone. Just do it smartly and safely.
See you on the road again 🏃‍♂️

The Pivot Shift Test is a clinical test used to assess ACL instability, especially in patients who experience the knee “giving way.”
It helps us understand not just whether the ACL is torn, but how functionally unstable the knee is.
Clinical examination still plays a crucial role in diagnosing ACL injuries.

Yes, I agree — the shoulder is the most mobile joint… but that also makes it the most vulnerable.” 😅
And sometimes, the movement tells the whole story.
