UK-Trained Robotic Joint
Replacement & Sports Injury Surgeon

Dr. Chetan M. Dojode is a UK-trained Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon in Bengaluru, India. He holds FRCS (Trauma & Orthopaedics) UK, FEBOT, MCh (UK), MRCS (UK), and is on the GMC Specialist Register with 11+ years NHS experience. He is MAKO robotic surgery certified and practises at Sparsh Hospital, Yelahanka and Aarna Orthopaedic Clinic, Sahakar Nagar.

MBBS (Mysore Medical College), MS Orthopaedics (JNMC), MRCS (UK), MCh Trauma & Orthopaedics (UK), FRCS Trauma & Orthopaedics (UK), FEBOT (European Board), CESR Specialist Registration on the GMC Specialist Register, Fellowship in Arthroplasty & Revision Surgery, Fellowship in Shoulder & Knee Surgery.

Yes. Dr. Chetan M. Dojode is registered on the GMC Specialist Register in Trauma & Orthopaedics via the CESR pathway — the highest specialist recognition in the UK, equivalent to completion of a full UK specialist training programme.

Yes. Dr. Chetan M. Dojode holds the FRCS (Trauma & Orthopaedics) from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh — the definitive UK consultant orthopaedic qualification, requiring comprehensive clinical and oral examinations.

Robotic knee replacement uses CT-based 3D pre-operative planning and intra-operative robotic guidance to position implants with sub-millimetre accuracy tailored to each patient's anatomy — achieving better alignment, more natural knee feel, and improved long-term outcomes.

Patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis causing significant pain and functional limitation that has not responded to non-surgical treatment. Dr. Chetan M. Dojode assesses each patient individually before recommending robotic replacement.

Yes. Robotic total hip replacement using MAKO technology enables precise acetabular cup positioning and femoral stem placement — reducing dislocation risk and optimising leg length restoration.

Modern knee implants, particularly when positioned with robotic precision, have over 90–95% survivorship at 15–20 years in published series. Optimal alignment — which robotic surgery consistently achieves — is the single most important factor in long-term implant durability.

Most patients walk the same day or next day. Hospital stay 2–3 days. Driving at 4–6 weeks. Return to light activities at 6–8 weeks. Full recovery and maximum function at 3–6 months.

Return to competitive sport after ACL reconstruction typically takes 9–12 months. This is criteria-based — quadriceps strength symmetry, functional performance tests, and psychological readiness — not an arbitrary timeline. Premature return significantly increases re-injury risk.

ACL reconstruction is generally required when a complete tear causes knee instability or giving-way, when a patient wishes to return to pivoting or contact sport, or when associated meniscal or cartilage damage needs protection. Active patients and athletes are the most common candidates. Dr. Chetan M. Dojode assesses each knee individually before recommending surgery.

Partial ACL tears in sedentary individuals with a stable knee examination may be managed conservatively. However, complete ACL tears in active patients wishing to return to pivoting sports almost always require surgical reconstruction to restore stability and prevent secondary damage.

Yes. Dr. Chetan M. Dojode has experience treating competitive athletes including Sports Authority of India athletes — providing sport-specific rehabilitation and return-to-play protocols.

Some partial tears in the outer vascular zone can heal with physiotherapy and activity modification. Full-thickness tears causing locking or instability, and tears in the inner avascular zone, generally require arthroscopic treatment. Where repair is possible, it is always preferred over removal.

Almost always, yes. The meniscus provides critical shock absorption and load distribution. Meniscal removal accelerates arthritis significantly. At OrthoSportsRobotics, preservation and repair is always the first goal.

Arthroscopy is keyhole surgery performed through tiny incisions using a camera and specialised instruments. It offers the precision of open surgery with dramatically reduced recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring. Dr. Chetan M. Dojode performs high-volume arthroscopic surgery of the knee and shoulder.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) involves concentrating growth factors from your own blood and injecting them into the affected joint. Evidence supports PRP for mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis, reducing pain and inflammation. Results typically last 6–12 months.

Joint preservation surgery uses biological and corrective techniques to delay or avoid joint replacement — protecting your natural joint for as long as possible. It includes cartilage restoration (microfracture, mosaicplasty, MACI), osteotomy to realign load away from damaged areas, meniscal repair, and orthobiologics such as PRP. It is most valuable in younger, active patients with early or focal joint damage, in keeping with Dr. Chetan M. Dojode's preserve-before-replace philosophy.

Yes. Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) concentrates your own cells from a bone marrow sample to support healing in early arthritis and selected cartilage conditions. Because the evidence base is still evolving, BMAC is offered selectively and on a case-by-case basis — only where it is genuinely clinically appropriate, never as a routine or guaranteed cure.

Yes. Dr. Chetan M. Dojode performs the full range of shoulder surgery — arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, Bankart repair, Latarjet procedure, SLAP repair, subacromial decompression, biceps tenodesis, and capsular release for frozen shoulder.

OrthoSportsRobotics uniquely combines FRCS/FEBOT/GMC-registered UK-trained surgical expertise, MAKO robotic technology, Lancet-level research credentials, a genuine preserve-before-replace philosophy, and personalised care — delivered in Bengaluru, India.
