Orthopaedic Surgeon for Devanahalli

Name: Orthopaedic Surgeon for Devanahalli & the Airport Corridor
Creator: Dr. Chetan M. Dojode

Subspecialty orthopaedic expertise usually means a journey. Patients travel to Dr. Chetan M. Dojode from Whitefield, Jayanagar and Koramangala, and from outside Karnataka, for complex joint replacement and independent second opinions. If you live in Devanahalli & the Airport Corridor, that same practice happens to be on your doorstep.

The airport road runs directly to Sparsh Hospital Yelahanka, making it the natural surgical location for patients along this corridor. Residents of the airport corridor often assume specialist orthopaedic care means a journey into central Bengaluru. For joint replacement it does not.

Dr. Dojode is a UK-trained consultant holding FRCS (Orth, UK) and FEBOT (Euro), with eleven years of NHS consultant and specialist practice in the United Kingdom before returning to Bengaluru. He completed the Furlong Fellowship in Arthroplasty and Revision Surgery, and a further fellowship in shoulder and knee surgery. Complex primary and revision joint replacement form a substantial part of the practice.

Proximity matters less for the operation itself than for everything around it. A joint replacement involves a pre-operative assessment, an anaesthetic review, the surgery, wound checks, physiotherapy progress reviews and implant follow-up over years. Patients who live nearby complete that pathway without it dominating their calendar — and are far more likely to attend the follow-up that protects the result.

What patients from this area are seen for

✓Independent second opinion before agreeing to joint replacement
✓MAKO robotic-assisted knee and hip replacement
✓Knee and hip arthritis — including non-surgical management
✓Sports injuries — ACL, meniscus, cartilage, shoulder instability

Why living nearby helps after surgery

Pre-operative	Assessment, imaging and anaesthetic review without long journeys.
First 2 weeks	Wound review and early mobility checks close to home.
6–12 weeks	Physiotherapy progress reviews at the interval they are actually useful.
Long term	Implant follow-up over years, which is easily neglected when it is far away.

Areas covered

Devanahalli, Vijayapura, Budigere Cross, Bagalur, Chikkajala, Rajanukunte and the villa communities along the Kempegowda International Airport corridor.

Where you would be seen from Devanahalli

Residents along the airport corridor often assume specialist orthopaedic care means a journey into central Bengaluru. It does not, and this is the one catchment where the hospital is nearer than the clinic. Sparsh Hospital Yelahanka is 20–30 minutes from Devanahalli straight down the airport road. The Sahakar Nagar consulting rooms are 30–40 minutes.

For patients from Vijayapura, Budigere Cross, Bagalur, Chikkajala and the villa communities along the corridor, Sparsh is therefore the practical choice at every stage. It runs 10am to 4pm, Monday to Saturday, with X-ray and MRI on site, so a first visit can produce examination, imaging and a documented treatment plan in one morning — which matters when the alternative is repeating a half-hour drive for a scan.

Surgery is performed at Sparsh Hospital Yelahanka, meaning surgical patients from this corridor are treated at the location already closest to them, with no transfer elsewhere for theatre or inpatient care. A family member can stay through the admission. Parking is free.

The Sahakar Nagar rooms, 4:30pm to 7pm Monday to Saturday, remain available for evening consultation if that suits better — though as a consulting location only, with no imaging or admission facility, they are rarely the more efficient option from this distance.

An honest word on choosing locally

Convenience is a real advantage, but it should not be the deciding factor on its own. Choose a surgeon on training, subspecialty focus and whether their outcomes have been independently audited — then treat proximity as a bonus. If the operation you need would be better performed elsewhere, you will be told so.

Practice across two health systems

Dr. Chetan M. Dojode has operated in both the United Kingdom and India. His UK joint replacement practice is recorded on the National Joint Registry (NJR) — the world’s largest independent registry of joint replacement outcomes, which tracks implant survival and revision rates for every procedure submitted. That same registry-audited discipline is applied to every joint replacement he performs in Bengaluru.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where would I be seen if I live in Devanahalli?

Outpatient consultations, follow-up and injections are usually at OSR — OrthoSportsRobotics Clinic / Aarna Clinic, Sahakar Nagar. Surgery, including MAKO robotic-assisted joint replacement, is performed at Sparsh Hospital, New Airport Road, Yelahanka. Reception will advise which is more convenient when you book.

Do I need a referral to book an appointment?

No referral is required. You can book directly by phone or WhatsApp. If your family doctor or physiotherapist has referred you, bring the letter and any imaging with you.

What should I bring to the first consultation?

Any X-rays, MRI or CT scans you already have — the films or a CD rather than only the report — a list of your current medications, and details of previous surgery on the affected joint. If you have had a joint replaced before, the implant details are particularly useful.

Can I get a second opinion before deciding on surgery?

Yes, and it forms a significant part of the practice. Bring your imaging and any advice you have already received. You will be given an honest view on whether surgery is necessary, whether it is the right operation and whether it can reasonably wait. You are under no obligation to proceed with treatment here.

Is robotic joint replacement available locally?

Yes. MAKO robotic-assisted knee and hip replacement is performed at Sparsh Hospital, Yelahanka. Suitability is assessed at consultation, and robotic assistance is recommended only where the evidence supports a genuine benefit in your particular case.
