End of an Era - Beginning of a new one!!
7th December 2021.
My journey of 12.5 years.
It’s a very tough decision to make but as they say, change is inevitable.
Today was my last working day at Ramaiah Hospitals since I resigned from the post of Associate professor to start a full-time clinic-based private practice.
I have Joined in 2009, as a senior registrar just after my MS Orthopedics. Great seniors and excellent colleagues made me get attached to the Institute. Got myself involved in Orthopedic teaching and learning. I have completed three fellowships by taking leave from work.
Learned, performed, mastered, taught, published, trained youngsters, presented, conducted several courses, and promoted the Art of Arthroplasty.
Over the next few years actively performed pelvis and acetabulum surgeries, knee arthroscopy, and osteotomy. Completely involved in postgraduate training, teaching, and started a fellowship in arthroplasty.
I have performed more than 5000 surgeries.
I will miss the Place, the Institute, the Department, and the Colleagues, OT staff, hospital staff, and postgraduates. I owe a lot to this place and will carry memories with me forever.
I am very much thankful to each and everyone who made this journey a beautiful and memorable one. I leave with a heavy heart but different dreams for the future.

A total knee replacement is a surgical procedure whereby the diseased knee joint is replaced with artificial material. The knee is a hinge joint that provides motion at the point where the thigh meets the lower leg. The thighbone (or femur) abuts the large bone of the lower leg (tibia) at the knee joint.
Arthroscopic Meniscus Repair is an outpatient surgical procedure to repair torn knee cartilage. The torn meniscus is repaired by a variety of minimally invasive techniques and requires postoperative protection to allow healing.
A High Tibial Osteotomy is a surgical procedure that realigns the knee joint. For few patients who have knee arthritis, this HTO surgery can delay or even prevent the need for a partial or total knee replacement by preserving damaged joint tissue.
