Doctor discovery · Orthopedics
Chennai has orthopaedic listings in the wider GAF directory, but this article does not infer that every listed institution performs total knee replacement. Only dynamically resolved procedure relationships should produce clinician or hospital cards, and a card is not a ranking, volume statement or capability guarantee.
Quick answer
Orthopaedics treats joint degeneration, sports injury, trauma, non-union and limb conditions using non-operative care, arthroscopy, fixation, reconstruction or replacement. Selection depends on symptoms, examination, imaging, alignment, bone quality, activity goals and previous treatment.

Chennai has orthopaedic listings in the wider GAF directory, but this article does not infer that every listed institution performs total knee replacement. Only dynamically resolved procedure relationships should produce clinician or hospital cards, and a card is not a ranking, volume statement or capability guarantee. 18 listed orthopedics specialists currently appear for Chennai, across 4 hospitals in the catalog.
A doctor appears only when the GAF catalog records the matching Orthopedics specialty, location and, where selected, exact procedure relationship. Results are not ranked by outcomes or medical superiority.
This directory uses professional catalog information and exact specialty and procedure relationships. It does not constitute a medical ranking, guarantee availability or replace a case review by a qualified orthopaedic surgeon.
Chennai International Airport: Airport access can be comparatively direct for several hospital districts, but lodging should still follow the confirmed campus. Air-conditioned accommodation, hydration and reduced midday outdoor exposure matter during hotter, more humid months. Heat and humidity affect dressings, swelling and outdoor walking tolerance after arthroplasty or tendon repair. Indoor physiotherapy and wound checks should be planned rather than assumed as beach-hotel walks.

Treatments
Each orthopaedic procedure keeps its canonical cost guide. Doctor lists only include exact procedure mappings.
Total Knee Replacement
Total knee replacement resurfaces the worn femoral, tibial and usually patellar joint surfaces with a prosthesis when arthritis or another destructive process has exhausted reliable joint-preserving care. The surgeon prepares the distal femur and proximal tibia, balances the soft tissues and seats the components; the patella may be resurfaced according to wear and tracking.

Robotic Knee Replacement
Robotic knee replacement is still a knee arthroplasty: a planning scan or registration and a robotic arm or cutting guide are used to execute a surgeon-planned bone preparation. It is a technique applied to replacement, not a different disease. The surgeon remains responsible for indication, soft-tissue balance and implant choice; the robot constrains bone cuts to a plan. This article does not claim tighter cuts produce a better result.

Partial Knee Replacement
Partial knee replacement resurfaces only the worn compartment — most often the medial side — while leaving intact ligaments and the remaining cartilage in place when those structures are still honest. Through a more limited exposure than a total replacement, the surgeon prepares only the affected femoral and tibial — or patellofemoral — surfaces and balances that compartment.

Revision Knee Replacement
Revision knee replacement removes and replaces a failed knee implant — in one or more stages — to treat loosening, infection, instability, wear, stiffness or periprosthetic fracture. The surgeon removes failed components, manages bone loss and infection, and rebuilds stability with revision implants. Scope can range from an isolated liner exchange to a hinge, which is not one product.

Total Hip Replacement
Total hip replacement replaces the femoral head and the acetabular socket with a prosthesis to treat a destroyed hip when joint-preserving care is no longer a durable option. The femoral head is removed, the socket is prepared for a cup, and a stem is seated in the femur. Bearing couple and head size are chosen for stability and wear, not from a brochure upgrade list.

Revision Hip Replacement
Revision hip replacement exchanges a failed femoral stem, acetabular cup or both to treat loosening, infection, instability, wear, osteolysis or periprosthetic fracture. Failed parts are removed, bone loss is classified, and revision cups, cages, stems or proximal femoral replacements are used as anatomy demands. This is not a longer version of a primary hip.

Hip Resurfacing
Hip resurfacing caps the femoral head and replaces the acetabular socket, preserving the femoral neck and canal, when bone quality and anatomy make a conventional stem less appropriate. The femoral head is shaped for a cap and the socket is reamed for a monoblock or modular cup, preserving the neck. Neck notching and cup inclination are technical concerns specific to this operation.

Shoulder Replacement
Shoulder replacement substitutes the destroyed glenohumeral joint with an anatomic or reverse prosthesis, chosen after the rotator cuff, glenoid bone and fracture pattern are understood. Through a deltopectoral or other chosen interval, the humeral head is prepared for a stem or stemless implant and the glenoid is prepared for an anatomic or reverse baseplate as planned.

ACL Reconstruction (Anterior Cruciate Ligament)
ACL reconstruction replaces a torn anterior cruciate ligament with a graft to restore rotational stability of the knee when the native ligament cannot be repaired or has already failed non-operative care. Tunnels are placed arthroscopically, the chosen graft is harvested or thawed, and it is fixed with screws, buttons or a hybrid construct. Repair of an avulsion in a child is a different specialty product.

PCL Reconstruction (Posterior Cruciate Ligament)
PCL reconstruction replaces a torn posterior cruciate ligament with a graft to control posterior tibial sag when the injury is complete, combined or still unstable after protected rehabilitation. Arthroscopic or open tunnels are placed to avoid the so-called killer turn as the team prefers, and the graft is tensioned in a way that does not over-constrain the knee. Avulsion repair with screws is a different trauma product.

Meniscus Repair
Meniscus repair sutures a tear that still has healing potential, aiming to keep the shock-absorbing cartilage rather than remove it, when tissue quality and tear pattern can hold a stitch. Through arthroscopy the surgeon inspects the tear, prepares the rim and places sutures or anchors. Weight-bearing and flexion limits follow the repair type, not a generic arthroscopy brochure.

Rotator Cuff Repair
Rotator cuff repair reattaches torn tendons of the shoulder to bone so that lifting the arm can again be powered by those tendons, when MRI and examination still show repairable tissue. The tendon edge is prepared, bone is prepared at the footprint, and anchors secure the tendon. Biceps or acromial work may be added only if planned in the letter.

Arthroscopic Surgery
Arthroscopic surgery uses a camera and small instruments through portals to inspect and treat a joint when the planned work is a scope-based procedure rather than a named ligament reconstruction, cuff repair or replacement. Saline distends the joint, the camera maps the problem, and instruments treat only the planned lesion. Conversion to open surgery or a named reconstruction should be discussed in consent.

Fracture Fixation
Fracture fixation holds broken bone fragments in a stable position with plates, screws, nails or wires so healing can occur in acceptable alignment when a cast alone is not enough. The surgeon reduces the fragments — closed or open — and applies hardware that matches the bone. ORIF is the named open-reduction product on a neighbouring sheet.

Non-Union Repair
Non-union repair treats a fracture that has not united in the expected time by improving stability, biology or both — often with revision hardware and bone graft. Old hardware may be removed, the non-union is freshened, graft or substitute is added if planned, and a more stable construct is applied.

Carpal Tunnel Release
Carpal tunnel release divides the ligament over the median nerve at the wrist so that night pain, numbness and weakness from compression may improve. Under local or regional anaesthesia the ligament is divided under direct or endoscopic vision, taking care of the nerve and palmar structures.

Tendon Repair
Tendon repair sutures a lacerated or ruptured tendon so that the muscle can again move the finger, wrist or other joint the tendon serves. The tendon ends are retrieved and sutured with a core-and-epitendinous technique, then the pulley system is protected. Associated nerve or artery injuries should be listed if treated.

The quick answer on this page is summarised from GAF Healthcare’s Orthopedics treatment guide. That guide remains the canonical article for clinical context, treatment options and planning.
A orthopaedic surgeon evaluates the relevant diagnosis, explains suitable orthopaedic procedures, coordinates treatment-specific assessment and follow-up, and discusses alternatives and material risks. The specialty guide provides clinical context without ranking individual doctors.
18 catalog records currently match this Chennai listing. Filter by city, hospital or documented procedure. “Best” is the discovery heading for that search intent, not a clinical ranking.
Listed orthopaedic surgeons currently appear in Delhi NCR (104), Mumbai (27), Bengaluru (27), Chennai (18), Hyderabad (32). Counts are directory facts, not quality scores.
The catalog currently maps orthopaedic surgeons to Total Knee Replacement, Robotic Knee Replacement, Partial Knee Replacement, Revision Knee Replacement, Total Hip Replacement, Revision Hip Replacement, Hip Resurfacing, Shoulder Replacement. Procedure pages are published only when enough exact doctor relationships exist.

Use the compare tray to place two to four listed specialists side by side on experience, qualifications, hospital, city and mapped procedures. Comparison uses catalog fields only.
Use the stored India planning range as the stored India planning range. No verified Chennai-only price is stored; the final amount follows record review and an itemized hospital letter.
Only profiles dynamically matched to this exact procedure should be shown. If no card appears, that is a current catalog gap rather than a hidden list. Verify role, current appointment and operating campus; placement is not a ranking.
There is no universal best hospital. Compare the named team, exact campus, quote boundaries, implant or graft assumptions and continuity of physiotherapy after discharge. This page names no provider.

Initially I was very hesitant what to do, where to go for the treatment of my father who was suffering with prostate cancer. Thanks to google, I came into touch with Gaf Healthcare. They have arranged everything, starting from treatment plan, video consultation, airport pickup, to surgery and following up. My father was operated in Sahyadri Pune, robotic prostatectomy was done. Now he is fine.
★★★★★
The hospitality was at its point. I appreciate the great service I got from the team. Being away from Home and get the feeling like you are at home is what Gaf is doing. Thank you once more, this have lifetime memories in my life.
