Professional Introduction
Dr. Shekhar Srivastav is presented by Delhi Arthroscopy as an orthopaedic surgeon with a major clinical focus on
knee and shoulder disorders, arthroscopic surgery and joint replacement. The website describes him as a senior
orthopaedic consultant and as HOD of the Orthopedics Department at Delhi Institute of Trauma and Orthopaedics
(DITO), Sant Parmanand Hospital.
The first-party website describes more than two decades of orthopaedic surgical practice and extensive experience
in knee replacement, shoulder replacement, arthroscopy and sports-related procedures. It also highlights his use
of technology-assisted surgery, including robotic knee replacement.
The purpose of a professional profile is to give patients a broad understanding of a doctor’s training, clinical
interests and practice setting. It cannot determine whether a particular operation is appropriate for an individual.
That decision requires a personal assessment, review of symptoms and examination, and imaging or other
investigations when clinically indicated.
Clinical Focus: Knee and Shoulder
Delhi Arthroscopy • Dr. Shekhar Srivastav Profile Page 2
The website identifies knee and shoulder problems as central areas of Dr. Srivastav’s practice. These joints are
involved in a large proportion of sports injuries, degenerative conditions and activity-related musculoskeletal
complaints.
Knee conditions can include ligament injuries, meniscus tears, cartilage damage, arthritis and instability. Treatment
may range from physiotherapy and activity modification to arthroscopy, ligament reconstruction or joint
replacement depending on the diagnosis.
Shoulder conditions can include rotator cuff tears, recurrent instability, labral injuries, impingement, stiffness and
arthritis. Arthroscopy may be used for selected problems, while shoulder replacement can be considered for
appropriate advanced joint disease.
The most important first step is diagnosis. A patient with knee pain should not assume that an MRI finding
automatically means surgery. Similarly, shoulder pain may have several possible causes. The examination and
clinical history help determine what the imaging means and what treatment is most appropriate.
Arthroscopic Surgery
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique in which a small camera is introduced into a joint through a
small portal. The camera sends an image to a monitor, allowing the surgeon to inspect the joint and use
specialized instruments through additional portals.
Delhi Arthroscopy describes arthroscopy of the knee and shoulder and lists procedures such as ACL
reconstruction, meniscus and cartilage surgery, Bankart repair and rotator cuff repair.
Arthroscopy is a technique rather than a single operation. A simple diagnostic procedure, a meniscus repair, an
ACL reconstruction and a rotator cuff repair all have different indications and rehabilitation requirements.
The advantages of arthroscopy can include smaller incisions and less disruption of surrounding tissues compared
with some traditional open procedures. However, minimally invasive surgery does not mean that healing is
immediate. Repaired ligaments, tendons and cartilage still require appropriate protection and rehabilitation.
Patients considering arthroscopy should ask why the procedure is being recommended, what alternatives exist,
what the operation is expected to accomplish and how long rehabilitation is likely to take.
Knee Arthroscopy
The website describes knee arthroscopy as a keyhole technique for managing problems involving the ligaments,
meniscus and cartilage. The knee contains several important stabilizing ligaments, including the ACL and PCL
centrally and the MCL and LCL around the sides.
Knee arthroscopy may be used when a structural problem is causing symptoms that fit the clinical findings.
Meniscus injuries can sometimes be managed without surgery, while selected tears may benefit from repair or
other arthroscopic treatment. Cartilage injuries and ligament problems likewise require individualized assessment.
After knee arthroscopy, rehabilitation is often important for restoring movement, reducing swelling and rebuilding
strength. The exact restrictions depend on what was done during surgery. A patient who has undergone a simple
procedure may progress more quickly than someone whose meniscus or ligament has been repaired.
Patients should not use a generic recovery timeline as a personal clearance to resume sport. The treating surgeon
and physiotherapist should determine when running, jumping, pivoting and competitive activity are appropriate.
Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction
ACL reconstruction is a procedure used for selected patients with an anterior cruciate ligament injury, particularly
when instability affects activity or when a patient wants to return to demanding pivoting sports.
Delhi Arthroscopy • Dr. Shekhar Srivastav Profile Page 3
The ACL contributes to stability during cutting, pivoting and changes of direction. An ACL injury may occur during
sports or other trauma and can be associated with meniscus or cartilage injuries.
Reconstruction typically involves replacing the damaged ligament with a graft and securing it within the knee.
Arthroscopic techniques allow the surgeon to visualize the joint and address associated injuries when appropriate.
Recovery is progressive rather than immediate. Early rehabilitation commonly emphasizes swelling control,
restoration of movement and activation of the quadriceps. Later stages focus on strength, balance, running,
jumping and sport-specific movement. Return to sport should be based on rehabilitation milestones and functional
assessment rather than simply the passage of a certain number of weeks.
Patients should discuss graft options, associated injuries, rehabilitation expectations and realistic activity goals
during consultation.
Meniscus and Cartilage Care
The menisci are specialized structures that help distribute load within the knee. A meniscus can be injured through
twisting trauma or degenerative change. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, catching or difficulty with particular
movements.
Treatment depends on the location and type of tear, the patient’s age, activity level, symptoms and associated joint
findings. Where repair is appropriate, preserving meniscal tissue can be an important objective because the
meniscus contributes to normal knee mechanics.
Cartilage injuries can also vary considerably. Some are small and may be managed conservatively, while others
can produce persistent symptoms and require specialized treatment.
A patient should therefore bring imaging to the consultation and ask the surgeon to explain which structure is
injured and what the realistic objective of treatment is. Not every meniscus or cartilage abnormality needs an
operation.
Shoulder Arthroscopy
Delhi Arthroscopy describes shoulder arthroscopy as a minimally invasive method for diagnosing and treating
selected shoulder conditions. The website lists rotator cuff tears, labral tears including Bankart lesions,
impingement, frozen shoulder and other shoulder problems.
During arthroscopy, the surgeon uses a small camera and specialized instruments through small portals.
Depending on the diagnosis, tissue may be repaired, released, stabilized or otherwise treated.
Shoulder rehabilitation varies substantially by procedure. A patient who undergoes rotator cuff repair may need a
period of protection while the tendon heals, followed by progressive motion and strengthening. A stabilization
procedure may have different restrictions. The patient should therefore follow the specific post-operative plan
rather than a generic shoulder exercise program.
Persistent pain, instability, weakness or loss of movement deserves appropriate assessment. Early evaluation can
help clarify whether symptoms are related to the rotator cuff, labrum, joint surface, stiffness or another cause.
Rotator Cuff Repair
The rotator cuff is a group of tendons and muscles that contribute to shoulder movement and stability. Delhi
Arthroscopy describes tears that may occur after trauma in younger individuals or through degenerative changes
over time.
Symptoms can include pain during arm use, night pain and weakness. A smaller tear may not cause obvious loss
of function, while a larger tear can produce significant weakness and difficulty raising the arm.
Delhi Arthroscopy • Dr. Shekhar Srivastav Profile Page 4
The website describes diagnosis using symptoms and clinical examination, with X-rays to evaluate bony features
and MRI to help define the tear, retraction and fatty changes in the tendon.
When surgery is appropriate, arthroscopic repair can use small portals and suture anchors to reattach the torn
tendon to bone. In selected cases, associated biceps pathology may also be addressed.
Timing and tissue quality matter because chronic tears can retract and develop changes that make repair more
difficult. Not every tear is repairable, particularly when it is massive or the tendon quality is poor. Treatment must
therefore be individualized.
Shoulder Instability and Bankart Repair
Recurrent shoulder dislocation or instability can occur when structures that normally stabilize the shoulder have
been damaged. The labrum is one of these structures, and a Bankart lesion can be associated with anterior
instability.
Arthroscopic stabilization may be considered for selected patients, particularly when instability repeatedly
interferes with activity or when structural damage makes non-operative treatment less suitable.
The decision depends on factors such as age, activity level, direction of instability, previous dislocations, bone loss
and associated injuries.
Recovery after stabilization involves protecting the repair initially and then gradually restoring movement, strength
and shoulder control. Return to contact or overhead sports should wait until adequate healing and functional
recovery have been demonstrated.
Patients should ask what structures are injured, what the proposed repair will accomplish and what activities will be
restricted during rehabilitation.
Shoulder Replacement
The website also describes shoulder replacement as an area of Dr. Srivastav’s practice, including total and reverse
shoulder replacement.
Shoulder replacement may be considered for selected patients with significant joint damage and persistent
symptoms. The type of replacement depends on the condition of the joint, rotator cuff function, bone quality and
other patient-specific factors.
A reverse shoulder replacement changes the mechanics of the shoulder and may be useful in selected situations
where the rotator cuff is severely deficient. It is not automatically the right option for every patient with shoulder
arthritis.
Before replacement, patients should understand the diagnosis, the reason for choosing a particular implant,
expected improvements, possible limitations, risks and rehabilitation requirements. The goal is to restore useful
function and reduce pain while respecting the biological and mechanical limitations of the joint.
Robotic Knee Replacement
One of the prominent areas highlighted on the Delhi Arthroscopy website is robotic knee replacement. The site
describes the use of the CUVIS robotic system and states that Dr. Srivastav has used the system extensively.
Robotic or technology-assisted knee replacement is designed to support surgical planning and precision. The
technology can help the surgical team with alignment and execution, but it does not replace clinical judgment.
Knee replacement is generally considered when advanced arthritis or other joint damage causes significant pain
and loss of function. Depending on the pattern of disease, a patient may be considered for total or partial
replacement, and revision surgery is used in selected patients with a previous replacement that has developed a
Delhi Arthroscopy • Dr. Shekhar Srivastav Profile Page 5
problem.
Patients should ask whether robotic assistance is appropriate for their specific anatomy and diagnosis, what type
of replacement is planned and how rehabilitation will be managed. The most important consideration remains
appropriate patient selection and safe, evidence-informed care.
Joint Replacement Experience
The website describes experience with total, partial and revision knee replacement as well as shoulder and elbow
joint replacement.
Total knee replacement replaces the damaged surfaces of the knee joint. Partial replacement may be considered
when disease is limited to a suitable compartment and the remaining joint structures meet the necessary criteria.
Revision surgery is more complex and is performed when a previous replacement requires correction or
replacement.
Joint replacement is not simply a procedure to remove pain. It also involves restoring movement, strength and
confidence in the operated limb. Rehabilitation and progressive activity are important after surgery.
Patients should discuss the expected improvement in walking, stairs, sleep and daily activities rather than
expecting an entirely normal joint in every case. Individual outcomes depend on diagnosis, general health,
rehabilitation and many other factors.
Sports Injury and Return to Activity
Sports medicine requires attention to both healing and performance. An athlete may need to return not only to
walking without pain but also to rapid acceleration, deceleration, jumping, cutting, throwing or overhead activity.
The website describes Dr. Srivastav’s experience with sports-related arthroscopy and procedures involving the
ACL, meniscus, cartilage and shoulder.
Rehabilitation should progressively address flexibility, strength, balance, coordination and sport-specific skills. The
final stage should include activities that resemble the demands of the athlete’s sport.
Returning too quickly can place healing tissues at risk, while excessive avoidance of activity can lead to weakness
and loss of confidence. A staged plan supervised by the treating team provides a safer framework.
Patients should ask for objective milestones for return to running, gym training, work and sport rather than relying
only on how the joint feels.
Professional and Patient-Centred Approach
The website emphasizes personalized care and modern orthopaedic technology. In practice, personalized
treatment means considering the patient’s symptoms, imaging, age, activity demands, previous treatment and
goals.
Two patients can have similar MRI findings but need different treatment. A professional athlete, an office worker
and an older adult may value different outcomes. Surgery should therefore be discussed in the context of what the
patient wants to achieve.
Patient communication is especially important before elective surgery. A patient should understand the diagnosis,
alternatives, expected benefits, limitations, risks, recovery plan and follow-up arrangements.
No surgical website can replace a personal consultation. Information on the website is best used to prepare
questions and understand the vocabulary of a proposed treatment.
Delhi Arthroscopy • Dr. Shekhar Srivastav Profile Page 6
Experience and Published Practice Information
The Delhi Arthroscopy homepage states that Dr. Srivastav has 28 years of orthopaedic surgery experience and
has performed more than 20,000 total, partial and revision knee replacement surgeries. It also describes extensive
arthroscopic practice and use of robotic knee replacement technology.
These are published practice claims from the website and are included here as profile information rather than as
an independently audited outcome statement. Patients requiring formal credential verification should request
current documentation directly from the relevant clinic or hospital.
A high-volume surgical practice can be relevant when evaluating a specialist, but volume should be considered
together with training, current practice, hospital support, communication, complication management and the
appropriateness of treatment for the individual patient.
Education and Consultation Preparation
Before an appointment, patients can improve the quality of the consultation by bringing previous imaging, reports,
prescriptions and operation notes.
Make a brief timeline of the problem. Include when symptoms started, whether there was an injury, what treatment
has already been tried and what activities are currently difficult.
Patients should also prepare questions such as: • What is the exact diagnosis? • Is surgery necessary now? • What
non-operative options are available? • What procedure is being proposed and why? • What are the main risks and
expected benefits? • How long will rehabilitation take? • When can I return to work, driving, exercise or sport? •
What follow-up will be required?
If surgery is proposed, ask where the procedure will take place and what pre-operative tests are required.
Risks, Limitations and Informed Consent
Every surgical procedure has potential risks. Depending on the operation, these may include infection, bleeding,
blood clots, stiffness, nerve or blood-vessel injury, persistent pain, failure of a repair or reconstruction, implant
problems and the possibility of further surgery.
The level of risk varies according to the procedure and the patient’s health. A patient should receive
procedure-specific information before consenting.
Minimally invasive surgery can reduce surgical exposure but does not eliminate complications. Similarly, robotic
assistance can support precision but does not guarantee a particular result.
Informed consent is a process of understanding the proposed treatment and making a voluntary decision. Patients
should feel comfortable asking for clarification about unfamiliar terms and should tell the treating team about
medicines, allergies and important medical conditions.
Important: Individual risks vary by procedure and patient. Discuss the specific risks and alternatives with the
treating surgeon before making a decision.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
Recovery is an active part of orthopaedic treatment. After arthroscopy, reconstruction, tendon repair or
replacement, rehabilitation helps restore movement, strength and function.
The early phase may emphasize swelling and pain control and safe movement. Later phases progressively
increase strength and endurance. The timing depends on what tissue was treated and how it needs to heal.
Delhi Arthroscopy • Dr. Shekhar Srivastav Profile Page 7
Patients should follow restrictions on weight-bearing, lifting, driving and sport. Feeling better does not necessarily
mean that repaired tissue has completed its biological healing.
Regular follow-up allows the surgeon to monitor healing and modify the rehabilitation plan. Physiotherapy may be
especially important after ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair and joint replacement.
If a patient develops worsening pain, fever, wound redness or drainage, significant swelling or other unexpected
symptoms, the treating team should be contacted promptly.
Recovery reminder: Rehabilitation milestones, not a generic calendar, should guide progression back to
demanding activities.

Why Choose an Individualized Consultation
A professional website can introduce a surgeon and explain procedures, but the most important step is an
individualized assessment. Orthopaedic symptoms can arise from different structures and can require very
different treatment strategies.
Delhi Arthroscopy • Dr. Shekhar Srivastav Profile Page 8
A consultation allows the doctor to compare the patient’s symptoms with the examination and imaging. It also
allows the patient to discuss expectations and concerns.
For elective surgery, patients should have enough time to consider the recommendation and ask about
alternatives. A second opinion can be reasonable when a major operation is proposed or when the patient wants
additional reassurance.
The objective should be an appropriate treatment plan, not simply the most advanced-sounding procedure.
Technology and surgical technique are valuable when they solve the right clinical problem for the right patient.
