MEET DR. ANOOP JHURANI
  • Operative Experience
  • Experience

    • My basic Orthopaedic Training was from 1993-1996 at S.M.S Medical College which had an extremely busy trauma department. I learnt the fine art of Hand surgery in my first year of Orthopaedic Training from Dr. V. K. Pande , an eminent hand surgeon. My second and third year of residency training were in trauma and spine surgery. I gradually became interested in ‘ Reconstruction surgery of Joints’ and their anatomy and bio mechanics.
    • During later part of my training, I spent three years of Senior Residency honing my skills in adult joint reconstruction. I have spent sufficient time in visiting finest centers of joint replacement surgery across the globe and learning from the masters in this field.
    • Currently , the focus of my practice is Joint Replacement and Revision surgery. I have performed more than 12,000 knee & hip replacements surgeries including computer assisted joint replacements and revision surgeries. I have also had a chance to do live surgeries in other countries like Bangladesh and Vietnam.
    • I have been practicing joint replacement surgery since 2015 and have almost 15 years of exclusive experience in joint replacements. My chief interest is in Robotic and Computer assisted surgery and I have been practicing these techniques for almost a decade now. Our major work has been in achieving accurate alignment and ligament balance to give excellent surgical outcomes to the patient. Optimal ligament balance ensures that no physiotherapy required at home and self exercise program is taught to patient.
    • With experience of over 12,000 knee & hip replacements we have fine tuned our techniques so as to achieve same day standing and walking, early discharge.
    • We continue to work and research in this direction of improved patient outcomes.
