On 26th April 2024, Dr Shreyash Gajjar was one of the first in India to perform this new surgical technique.
Shoulder Arthritis is a common problem of the shoulder. It results from ageing, Chronic Rotator cuff tendon tear either due to sports injury, accident or trauma predominantly in the older patient. The shoulder joint function is thereby compromised resulting in pain, stiffness and weakness.
Shoulder replacement may therefore be indicated to relive pain and restore function. Reverse Shoulder replacement is a type of Shoulder replacement designed to restore function in such situations. Until recently, the surgical procedure which involves fixing an artificial cup & ball (shoulder joint) was performed by eye-balling technique & dependent entirely on the surgeon's expertise. Virtual Implant Positioning (VIP) system is a recently introduced technology wherein using a computer software precise placement of the shoulder components can be determined prior to surgery from the patient's CT scan of the shoulder. This novel technology improves surgical accuracy thereby improving patient functional outcome.
Dr. Shreyash Gajjar now routinely uses this advanced technology for this type of surgery in his patients.
Dr Shreyash Gajjar is the first in India to perform this new surgical technique.
ACL ligament tear is one of the most common injury to the knee. It results from twisting injury to the knee playing sports, accident or trauma. The ACL ligament is normally attached to the thigh bone (femur) & shin bone (tibia) and provides stability to the knee. Once completely torn, the knee becomes unstable (instability). In young active patients, ACL Reconstruction is an established technique to allow return to function. However, when there is a subsequent ACL graft tear due to re-injury, Revision ACL Reconstruction is indicated. The Quadriceps autograft is an available option in revision cases to reconstruct the new ACL. This new ACL Graft requires fixation to the femur & tibia which can be done with conventional fixation devices i.e. screw or by performing the advance All-Inside ACL Reconstruction technique which offers several advantages i.e. reduced post-op pain, bone preservation in presence of previous surgery and stronger fixation strength.
On 2nd September 2020, Dr Shreyash Gajjar was globally the first outside Spain (Europe) to perform this new surgical technique.
Shoulder instability is one of the most common problems of the shoulder. It results from dislocation/subluxation of the shoulder following sports injury, accident or trauma both in the young or old. The instability results from detachment of the ligament (labrum) that is located between the glenoid (shoulder socket) and upper arm (humerus). This detachment most commonly occurs at the labrum-glenoid bone interface. Persistent instability or significant force at the time of initial injury can lead to glenoid bone resoption (bone loss) or fracture. Whilst isolated ligament tear is treated surgically by repair (reattachment to glenoid), a bony procedure is advocated for significant bone loss. One such technique to restore glenoid bone loss is fixation of the neighboring coracoid bone to the glenoid defect (Latarjet procedure). Various fixation options have been used over time i.e. metal/dissolvable screws, suture buttons etc with certain limitations. Fixation using a strong medical suture (Cerclage suturetape) is a recently introduced innovative technique aimed to overcome limitations of the earlier fixation options thereby optimizing outcome.
On 7th February 2020, Dr Shreyash Gajjar was the 1st in India to perform a Live Surgery demonstration of this latest technique for Joint related Cartilage injury.
Cartilage injury to the Knee, Ankle & other major joints can occur following injury playing sports or due to accident. High grade injuries generally require surgery & if untreated, will lead to progressive damage to the joint & result in Arthritis.
Cartilage repair surgery techniques are constantly evolving to improve quality of healing tissue at injury site. Arthroscopic Autologous Cartilage repair (AACR) is the latest cell-based repair technique which offers the advantages of being a Single stage, Arthroscopic procedure wherein patient’s own Cartilage tissue from the joint is used to repair the injured cartilage. Such technique allows a better quality of cartilage repair resulting in improved functional outcome.
The TFCC ligament of the wrist can be torn during sporting activities or following fall. Whilst minor injury to the ligament recovers with Medications & Physiotherapy, complete tears if symptomatic require surgical treatment. Dr Gajjar performs All-Arthroscopic techniques for ligament repair which being minimally invasive cause less tissue trauma, less pain & quicker functional recovery.
Labral tears of the Hip result from sporting activities or injury & present with hip pain especially during bending movements. Surgery may be indicated when the symptoms fail to resolve with medications & physiotherapy.
Arthroscopic techniques performed by Dr Gajjar have several advantages over the traditional method of open surgery i.e. less pain, less tissue dissection and quicker recovery with excellent functional results.
On 14th March 2015, Dr Shreyash Gajjar was the 1st in India to perform this procedure using the Internal Brace technique.
Elbow dislocation which results from fall or accidental injury results in tear of one or both of the joint's supporting ligaments - Medial & Lateral Collateral ligaments.
This injury requires immediate medical treatment wherein the joint is reduced back in position. Whilst a minor form of this injury restores joint function with physiotherapy, in cases when the injury is severe, Elbow stability can only be restored with ligament reconstruction. Previously, patients own healthy tissue (tendon graft) from other areas i.e. knee joint was used for this procedure adding to donor site morbidity. However, a recent advance in technology is reconstructing these ligaments with strong suture materials (Internal brace technique) which provides excellent joint stability, function and eliminates use of patient's healthy tendon tissue.
On 22nd Nov 2014, Dr Shreyash Gajjar was the 1st in India to perform this procedure.
Ankle ligament injury occurs due to sporting activities. The Lateral Ankle ligament - Anterior Talofibular ligament (ATFL) is most commonly torn. A majority of Acute ligament tears heal with Rest, Medications and good Physiotherapy. However, a small percentage, especially Complete ligament tears may fail to heal and cause persistent pain, swelling, giving way and inability to return to sports. In these cases, Surgical Reconstruction of the ATFL ligament is the preferred treatment.
Open surgical approach to reconstruct the torn ligament was the only available method until recently when an All-Arthroscopic technique has been developed. The advantages offered by an All- Arthroscopic procedure are less pain, less tissue dissection and quicker recovery with excellent functional results.
In 2014, Dr Shreyash Gajjar has performed Shoulder & Elbow Replacements in International Middle-East patients following Complex fractures from war injuries & also in Indian patients following Neglected disabling injuries with Excellent functional results.
In 2013, Dr Shreyash Gajjar was the first in India to perform All- Arthroscopic surgical treatment for this condition. It is seen in Adolescent children usually engaged in sporting activities wherein a portion of the growing bone fails to unite with the main shin bone. The presenting complaints are pain, swelling especially with sporting activities. Surgery aimed at removing the ununited piece of bone is indicated when non- surgical treatment i.e. rest, medicines, physiotherapy fail. Surgery which is commonly performed by an open approach can result in painful scars and longer recovery time. An All- Arthroscopic technique eliminates these complications allowing quicker recovery & restores function.
On 9th August 2014, Dr Shreyash Gajjar was the 1st in India to perform this procedure.
1) AVN of the Hip joint is a condition where there is a focal loss of blood supply to the Femoral Head of the hip joint. This condition is usually seen in the young adults due to a number of causes i.e. Idiopathic, Steroid/Alcohol use, Post-traumatic, Sickle cell etc..
2) Patients presenting complaints are Pain on weight-bearing, Limp, Limitation in terminal hip movements.
3) Treatment - Early stage - Core decompression surgery wherein a drill track is created to reach the affected bone dead area which is then cleaned out & the defect area filled with bone graft +/- bone marrow cells (latest technique).
Late stage - Hip replacement
4) Whilst the Core decompression surgery is routinely performed under Fluoroscopy (Xray Image) guidance, the advantage of an Arthroscopy Assisted technique is that it gives a 3 dimensional view of the femoral head cartilage which should remain intact during the procedure. Hence, the Arthroscopy assisted technique prevents the risk of cartilage injury which is possible in Fluoroscopy guided technique. Other advantage is that any additional associated hip joint pathologies like Labral tear, synovitis, FAI etc can also be managed simultaneously.
On 15th February 2013, Dr. Shreyash Gajjar, Consultant, Arthroscopy & Trauma Surgeon, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Mumbai was the first in India to perform an All-Arthroscopic Acute Acromio-Clavicular (AC) Joint Shoulder Reconstruction using the Arthrex Dog-Bone implant.
Dr. Gajjar performs Anatomic Single Bundle ACL Reconstruction, which is the latest advocated Single Bundle ACL Reconstruction technique to improve functional outcomes of ACL reconstruction compared to the conventional techniques.
