Dr. Atul Keswani
MS Orthopaedics, FIJR (Germany), FISS (Italy)
Sports injury, shoulder and joint replacement surgeon, with fellowship training in Pune, Germany and Italy.
An injured knee or shoulder should end up doing what you need it to do — back on the field, back up the stairs — not just look better on a scan. That means an honest diagnosis first, rehabilitation done properly, and surgery only where it genuinely changes the result.
— Dr. Atul Keswani, on how he practisesAbout Dr. Atul Keswani
Dr. Atul Keswani completed his MS in Orthopaedics.
He went on to complete fellowships in sports medicine and joint replacement at Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital, Pune, trained in arthroscopy at Sporthopaedicum in Germany — a FIFA referral centre for sports injuries — and completed a shoulder surgery fellowship at the University of Cattolica in Italy, covering shoulder arthroscopy and shoulder replacement. His practice focuses on shoulder and sports injuries and on robotic joint replacement.
A consultation starts with the story of the injury and a hands-on examination; scans are used to confirm, not to replace, what the examination shows. Many sports injuries settle with a structured rehabilitation programme, and that is always tried where it can work. Where a ligament, meniscus or rotator cuff needs repair, keyhole (arthroscopic) techniques are used wherever possible, with a rehabilitation plan set out from day one and a return to activity that is judged by function, not by the calendar.

What he focuses on
The problems Atul Keswani sees most, and wants to be known for.
Shoulder & sports injuries
Rotator cuff, instability and frozen shoulder; ACL, meniscus and ankle injuries — assessed with a view to getting back to sport safely.
Robotic joint replacement
Robotic knee replacement, and robotic hip replacement by the DAA.
Arthroscopy
Keyhole surgery of the knee and shoulder, so that repairs are done through small incisions with a quicker recovery.
Treatments he performs
Shoulder and rotator cuff treatment
Diagnosing and treating the common causes of shoulder pain — rotator cuff tears, impingement, frozen shoulder, and instability.

Knee arthroscopy
Keyhole knee surgery — a camera and fine instruments through two small incisions — for meniscus tears, ACL reconstruction, loose fragments and damaged cartilage.
Read more
Robotic knee replacement surgery
Resurfacing a knee worn down by arthritis, with robotic assistance to place the implant exactly to plan — less pain after surgery, a faster recovery, and a knee that lets walking, stairs and sleep stop hurting.

Robotic hip replacement surgery (DAA)
Replacing a worn hip through the DAA, with robotic assistance to position the new ball and socket — muscle-sparing surgery for long-standing groin and hip pain.
