Knee and Shoulder Clinic - India

What Knee and Shoulder Clinic - India does

Knee & Shoulder Clinic is a single-specialty orthopaedic surgical practice founded in 2002 and based at the Sitaram Bhartia Institute of Science & Research in New Delhi. The clinic exclusively treats knee and shoulder conditions, offering the full spectrum of care from arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery and computer-navigated joint replacement to complex trauma and revision surgery for failed prior procedures. It is led by Dr. J. Maheshwari, an AIIMS-trained surgeon with 40+ years of experience and over 20,000 career knee replacements, and Dr. Vikram Mhaskar, who holds international fellowships from the UK, Australia, and France. The practice has pioneered multiple surgical firsts in North India, including the first arthroscopic shoulder surgery (1999), first total shoulder replacement (2000), first mobile-bearing partial knee replacement (2006), first reverse shoulder replacement (2012), first stemless shoulder replacement in North India (2018), and first use of in-space balloon technology in India (2023).

The clinic's underlying technology portfolio comprises proprietary surgical techniques such as keyhole knock-knee correction without metal implants, ACL repair versus reconstruction with stump preservation, all-suture anchor shoulder dislocation repair, and synthetic tape clavicle fixation, alongside robotic and computer-navigated total knee replacement. Revenue is generated per-procedure through surgical fees (e.g., ₹1.5–2.5 lakh for rotator cuff or shoulder dislocation surgery), outpatient consultations, and in-house rehabilitation and physiotherapy services. Patients pay via cash, insurance, or panel modes. Go-to-market is sales-led and reputation-driven: patients self-refer, are referred by general orthopaedic practitioners, or travel from across India and abroad as a referral center for revision and complex cases.

The supporting team of approximately 11 staff includes a senior consultant anaesthesiologist, dental surgeon and practice administrator, program manager, practice coordinator, OPD manager, technicians, and assistants. The clinic supplements clinical revenue with academic activities — the Delhi Knee Course, Delhi Shoulder Course, ODOT programs, and textbook authorship (Essential Orthopaedics, now in 7th edition and translated into 12 regional languages with over 150,000 copies sold) — which function as a referral pipeline rather than a commercial line. The business is privately held by its founding surgeons with no external investment, no parent company, and no satellite locations.
