Dr. Nandan Rao is orthopedic surgeon with specialty training in joint preservation and sports orthopedics. With over 10 years of experience in arthroscopy and joint preservation techniques he believes in

1. Dedicating appropriate time to make an accurate diagnosis
2. Individualized treatment – Non surgical or surgical
3. Careful and close follow up
4. Ensuring complete rehabilitation of the patient to his pre-injury status

The principles of treatment which are highlighted in the excellent results in his patients are:

1. Sincere efforts at joint preservation
2. Advanced arthroscopic meniscus and cartilage repair techniques
3. If required combined use of arthroscopic and open surgical techniques
4. Use of best quality bio-absorbable implants wherever feasible
5. Cosmetic closure of wounds- scars barely visible after 3 months
6. Multi-modality pain management techniques- faster recovery
