Fortis Hospital
Spine Surgery
 I have treated severe spinal fractures with successful outcome. I was the firstone to
perform Cervical discreplacements for cervical disc diseasein this hospital.I performed
thoracic spinesurgery via both anterior and posterior approaches.The firstkyphoplasty
for vertebral fracture in Fortis hospital was performed by me. I have introduced
Minimally InvasiveSpinefusion in this hospital.Thefirstanterior retroperitoneal
abdominal fusion of lumbar spinewas successfully doneby me.

arthritis patientwith successful outcome. I was the firstone to do the firstArthroscopic
Revision Anterior CruciateLigament Reconstruction surgery in Fortis with a successful
outcome. I have performed many complex jointreplacements for hip, knee and shoulder
with a successful outcome. A good example was an uncemented ceramic on ceramic
arthroplasty in a youngfemale patient with severely deformed hip due to ankylosing
spondylitis.I haveintroduced SCARF osteotomy for Hallux Valgus correction for the first
time in Kolkata (correctgreat toe deformity) through a Foot & Ankle workshop in 2011.
OSTEAL HEALTHCARE PVT LTD
 This healthcareorganization was developed with a vision to bridge the gap between
primary and secondary carehospitalsin semi-urban and rural areas.As a Founder and
Director of the organization,I was overwhelmed with the burden of Osteoporosis in

treating osteoporosis esp.in women. We arealso collaboratingwith local medical
companies to do monthly camps for screeningOsteoporosis in women and men in the

4. districts.Our team of doctors help in Identifyingand treating patients atrisk of fracture,
but who have not yet sustained a fracture,will substantially reducethe longterm
burden of osteoporosis. We educate the elderly with regards to the requirement of
physical exerciseand nutrition.We work in liason with medical companies to provide
home based treatment for Osteoporosis. Wealso providesurgical services for fragility
fractures likeHip fracture surgery,wristfracture reconstructions and spinal
vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty for pain relief.

TEACHING &TRAINING EXPERIENCE
I consider teachingas a learningexperience. To improve my skillsI haveundergone a teachingcourse
as a part of the core-curriculumatCardiff University. I havecompleted ‘Train the Trainer’ coursein
London in Jun 2015. I consider teachingto be objective and am keen to instill in my students a critical
attitude, in keeping with the principles of evidence based Orthopaedics. I am a guide to Post Graduate
trainees in Trauma & Orthopaedics for DNB and AssistantProfessor in OrthopaedicsSurgery at
Vivekananda Instituteof Medical Sciences,Kolkata.I have started a Spinal unitatRamakrishna
Mission Seva Pratisthan for the underprivileged.
Within in a clinical environment my teaching experience includes:
 Formative lecturing in Orthopaedics
 Informal teachingand trainingin wards and clinicsas a partof the curriculumin Orthopaedic
surgery for medical students
 Guiding colleagues (SHOs, Clinical Research Fellows and Registrars) in setting up research
projects
 Tutoring on a one-to-one basis for registrars taking Post Graduate examinations e.g. FRCS
(T&O) examinations (clinical and viva), DNB examinations
 Using journal papers as a trigger for further learning amongst colleagues
 Lecturing in Indian Orthopaedics & Spine Conferences and Orthopaedic Education Meetings
I consistently seek feedback from my teaching session to highlight possible areas for further
improvement in my own practice and methods.
Post Graduate Thesis guide

spondylolisthesis ( submitted and approved by DNB 2016, by Dr Atanu Chatterjee)
