Orthopaedic Surgeon for Thanisandra

Name: Orthopaedic Surgeon for Thanisandra & the Manyata 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 Thanisandra & the Manyata Corridor, that same practice happens to be on your doorstep.

Thanisandra Main Road runs directly into Sahakar Nagar and onward to Yelahanka, placing both locations within a short drive. Convenient enough for the repeated short visits that recovery actually requires — wound review, physiotherapy progress, implant follow-up.

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

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

Thanisandra, Nagawara, Rachenahalli, Hegde Nagar, Jakkur and the Manyata Tech Park residential corridor.

Where you would be seen from Thanisandra

Thanisandra, Hegde Nagar and the residential corridor around Manyata Tech Park are 15–20 minutes from the Sahakar Nagar consulting rooms and 20–30 minutes from Sparsh Hospital Yelahanka. Both are reachable without crossing the city, which is the practical advantage of this catchment — specialist orthopaedic care that does not require a journey into central Bengaluru.

Much of the demand from this corridor comes from people working full time at Manyata and the surrounding offices, for whom the constraint is not distance but the working day. Two options exist. Sparsh Hospital Yelahanka runs 10am to 4pm, Monday to Saturday, with X-ray and MRI on site — a single morning covers consultation, imaging and a plan. The Sahakar Nagar rooms run 4:30pm to 7pm, Monday to Saturday, which fits after office hours.

Sahakar Nagar is a consulting location only. There is no imaging there, no operating theatre and no admission facility — so if scans are likely to be needed, starting at Sparsh saves a return trip. Surgery is performed at Sparsh Hospital Yelahanka, where a relative can stay through the inpatient period. Parking is free at both locations.

Video consultation is available and is often the sensible choice for a first opinion, or for routine post-operative reviews where nothing needs to be examined or re-scanned.

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 Thanisandra?

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.
