An Orthopaedic Torchbearer
Dr HJ Sangtani is an exceptionally successful surgeon in total knee and hip replacements and is central India’s forerunner in employing computer aided surgery (CAS), for which he has undergone training in Melbourne, Australia. He has had a top of the class academic career all along, completing his MBBS and MS (Orthopaedics) from GMC Nagpur.
In 1982 he left for the U.K. for further training and education where he did his FRCS from Edinburgh and Glasgow in 1986, and then his M.Ch. Orth. from Liverpool University in 1988. He stayed in the U.K. for 9 years and worked at various world-renowned centres as a senior consultant, the most important of them being the Centre for Joint Replacement, Wrightington, which was set up by Sir John Charnley (the inventor of Cemented Total Hip Replacement). Dr Sangtani has also been invited as faculty at various national and international joint replacement workshops & symposiums including the prestigious Oxford Knee Course, at Oxford, UK. Dr HJ Sangtani has undergone a formal training of Computer Aided Surgery at Melbourne in Australia.
In 1992 he set up a state-of-the-art 30 bed facility – the Ortho Relief Hospital & Research Centre which became the frontrunner in joint replacements as well as other orthopaedic surgeries. Dr Sangtani performed central India’s first Total Knee Joint Replacement Surgery in 1993 and Hip Resurfacing Surgery in 2005. The Ortho Relief Hospital & Research Centre has now become a major centre for Joint Replacements and people from all over central India – Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh & Karnataka – come to us seeking improvement in their quality of life.
In 2021 the hospital was expanded with the addition of a new wing to 50 beds. Added facilities include 2 state of the art OTs, a CathLab, an ICU, CT scan, along with a new and spacious OPD Dept, in addition to the rooms and IPD amenities. Finally, in 2024 Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery was also introduced with the acquisition of the Depuy Synthes J&J Velys Robot.
