WORK EXPERIENCE:

Postgraduate residency programme in Orthopaedics (March 2001-June 2004):

I gained experience in primary and definitive management of fractures. Learnt concepts of closed and

surgical management of fractures, dislocations, compound injuries, spinal trauma etc. I operated and

assisted a variety of spinal surgeries. I assisted lot of joint replacements, surgeries related to paediatric

Orthopaedics and a few arthroscopies and deformity corrections.

Consultant orthopaedic surgeon at a multispeciality hospital in an underserved area of Gujarat state –

India (July 2004 – July 2005).

I started Orthopaedics department in a 100 bedded hospital run by a charitable trust in a peripheral town

of about 1 lac population. I managed a variety of cases including vehicular, industrial and agricultural

trauma. I performed more then 150 surgeries independently.

Specialty training in Orthopaedic Oncology (July 2005 – May 2007):

I worked as a clinical fellow in Orthopaedic oncology service – Tata Memorial Hospital – Mumbai, India. My

consultants were Dr. Ajay Puri and Dr. M.G.Agarwal. Under their guidance, I gained valuable experience in

management of bone and soft tissue tumors. I was involved in more then 500 tumor surgeries in those 22

months since my appointment as a fellow either as an assistant or as primary surgeon. I have learnt

concepts of megaprosthetic reconstructions around knee, shoulder and hip. I am now experienced in using

customized endoprosthesis including imported systems like GMRS, Stanmore implants and ISIQU. I was

also exposed to variety of intercalary resections of long bones and reconstructions using allografts or

biological methods like vascularised fibula & tibialisation of fibula. I assisted/did arthrodesis at knee, ankle

and wrist for variety of disorders. I was fortunate to assist in pelvic surgeries including internal and external

hemipelvectomies and sacral resections and curettage, as it was being quite commonly done at Tata

Hospital. I am familiar with rotationplasties as I have witnessed more then 20 rotationplasties. I have

gained valuable experience in treatment of GCTs. I also got experience in treatment of skeletal metastasis

and extremity soft tissue sarcomas. I have performed many percutaneous, CT guided and open biopsies.

Tata Memorial Hospital is a high volume center and on an average, we used to see around 150 patients

(including new patients, references and follow up) in OPD every week. As a fellow, my duties also included

video assisted counseling of the patients undergoing surgery and to discuss possible complications, future

consequences and financial aspects. I had also been looking after data collection, updating follow up

details, maintaining audits and coordinating ongoing prospective rendomised trials in the service.

Assistant Professor at GCRI (May 2007 – June 2014)

Since May 2007, I have been working as Assistant Professor at Gujarat Cancer & Research Institute (GCRI),

in Orthopaedic Oncology service. GCRI is situated in Ahmedabad city. It is the largest regional cancer center

for the state of Gujarat. It is a 600 bedded dedicated cancer hospital and is a part of Government civil

hospital which is the biggest hospital of Asia. GCRI is a high volume center and I am practicing and

implementing the concepts which I have learnt at Tata Memorial Hospital. During these 7 years, I

performed more than 1200 major surgeries in the department including variety of limb conservation,

ablative and palliative surgeries.

Private practice venture

First ever exclusive Orthopedic Oncology clinic in private sector started in May 2010 by me. This is the

only clinic in the whole state of Gujarat which is dedicated to treat the patients with musculo – skeletal

neoplasia. I have performed more than 1800 tumor surgeries in private sector since the clinic has been

started. The results have been comparable to the international data.

International experience:

(1) UICC – ICRETT fellowship at Mount Sinai Hospital – Toronto – Canada with Dr Jay Wunder. I worked

on the project of “Applications of Allografts in Orthopaedic Oncology” (2008) at the Rubinoff

Gross bone bank.
