Dr. Ramesh Kumar Sen: Orthopaedic & Trauma Surgeon

Dr. Ramesh Kumar Sen is a leading name in orthopaedic surgery, with a specific and renowned focus on complex trauma and pelvic-acetabular fractures. While his department handles all aspects of orthopaedics, his personal clinical expertise is often sought for the most severe and challenging injuries, particularly those involving the pelvis and acetabulum (hip socket), which are among the most difficult surgeries in orthopaedics.

Complex Trauma & Fracture Surgery:

Pelvic and Acetabular Fracture Surgery: This is his area of supreme expertise. These fractures are often caused by high-energy trauma (e.g., vehicle accidents, falls from height) and require intricate surgical planning and skill to reconstruct the complex anatomy of the pelvis and hip joint.

Polytrauma Management: Managing patients with multiple, life-threatening injuries, prioritizing and coordinating their orthopaedic care with other surgical teams.

Limb Salvage and Reconstruction: Performing advanced procedures to save severely injured limbs from amputation. This includes managing open fractures, bone defects, and non-unions (fractures that fail to heal).

General Orthopaedics & Joint Replacement:

While known for trauma, he is also highly skilled in total hip replacement and total knee replacement surgeries, especially when required as a consequence of post-traumatic arthritis.

Arthroscopy:

Performing keyhole surgery for joint injuries, though his focus is less on sports medicine and more on traumatic joint injuries.
