Orthopaedic Surgeon for Jayanagar Patients

Name: Orthopaedic Surgeon for Jayanagar & JP Nagar Patients
Creator: Dr. Chetan M. Dojode

Patients travel from Jayanagar & JP Nagar to consult Dr. Chetan M. Dojode, and it is worth being clear about why. Bengaluru has no shortage of orthopaedic surgeons closer to these neighbourhoods. Patients make the journey for a specific reason: subspecialty training in the operation they need, and a practice whose joint replacement outcomes have been subject to independent registry audit.

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 his practice.

Much of what patients travel for does not end in surgery. Second opinions form a significant part of the practice — patients advised elsewhere to have a joint replaced who want an independent view on whether it is necessary, whether it is the right operation, and whether now is the right time. Being told that surgery can reasonably wait is a common and legitimate outcome.

Patients from South Bengaluru travel via the Outer Ring Road or NICE Road. Consultations and investigations are grouped into single visits wherever possible to reduce the number of journeys. Where investigations are required, they are grouped into single visits wherever practical, and follow-up is arranged to minimise unnecessary journeys across the city.

Reasons patients travel across Bengaluru

✓Independent second opinion before agreeing to joint replacement
✓MAKO robotic-assisted knee and hip replacement
✓Complex primary replacement — deformity, bone loss, previous surgery
✓Revision of a painful, loose or failed joint replacement
✓Sports injury surgery — ACL, meniscus, cartilage, shoulder instability
✓Joint-preserving options for younger patients before replacement

Areas covered

Jayanagar, JP Nagar, Basavanagudi, Banashankari, BTM Layout and South Bengaluru.

Where you would be seen from Jayanagar

Jayanagar, JP Nagar, Basavanagudi, Banashankari and BTM Layout are among the longer journeys to this practice — 40–55 minutes to the Sahakar Nagar consulting rooms and 45–60 minutes to Sparsh Hospital Yelahanka, travelling north across the city.

Patients rarely make that journey for a routine problem. Most come for a specific reason: an independent opinion on whether joint replacement is genuinely necessary, robotic-assisted knee or hip replacement, or revision of a replacement performed elsewhere that has not done well. Those are questions that benefit from proper imaging and unhurried discussion rather than a brief appointment.

Sparsh Hospital Yelahanka is therefore the location to start from, despite being marginally further. X-ray and MRI are on site, it runs 10am to 4pm Monday to Saturday, and one morning covers examination, imaging and a documented plan — rather than two crossings of Bengaluru a fortnight apart. Surgery is carried out here, with inpatient facilities allowing family to stay, which matters when returning home the same day is impractical.

The Sahakar Nagar rooms, 4:30pm to 7pm Monday to Saturday, are for consultation only. Parking is free at both. Where scans already exist, a video consultation is frequently the most sensible first step before committing to the journey.

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 — implant selection, alignment targets and structured follow-up — is applied to every joint replacement he performs in Bengaluru.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth travelling from Jayanagar for orthopaedic treatment?

That depends on what you need. For straightforward problems well managed close to home, travelling across Bengaluru adds little. For complex or revision joint replacement, robotic-assisted surgery, or an independent second opinion before committing to an operation, the specific expertise matters more than the distance. You will be given an honest view on which applies to you.

Where would my surgery take place?

Surgery, including MAKO robotic-assisted joint replacement, is performed at Sparsh Hospital, New Airport Road, Yelahanka. Outpatient consultations, follow-up and injections are usually at OSR — OrthoSportsRobotics Clinic / Aarna Clinic, Sahakar Nagar.

Can consultations and scans be arranged in one visit?

Wherever practical, yes. If you are travelling a distance, investigations are grouped so that consultation, imaging and review can be completed with the fewest journeys. Let reception know your travel situation when booking so the appointment can be planned accordingly.

Do you provide second opinions?

Yes, and they form a significant part of the practice. Bring your imaging — the films or a CD rather than only the report — along with any letters and details of previous surgery. You are under no obligation to proceed with treatment here, and confirming that your original surgeon's advice was sound is a legitimate outcome.

How is follow-up managed if I live across the city?

Follow-up appointments are spaced and scheduled to minimise travel, and routine progress reviews can often be handled remotely where clinically appropriate. Physiotherapy is coordinated with a practitioner closer to where you live.
