Professional Overview
According to the supplied doctor-profile page, Dr. Shekhar Srivastav is an orthopaedic surgeon associated with
HOD–DITO, Sant Parmanand Hospital, Delhi, with a special interest in knee and shoulder surgery. The profile
states that after obtaining an M.S. in Orthopedics, he underwent further training at centres in India and abroad.
The profile describes more than twenty-one years of experience in diagnosing and treating orthopaedic and trauma
patients. It identifies his main clinical focus as knee and shoulder problems while also describing experience in
broader orthopaedic and trauma care.
The profile further states that he has been associated with Sant Parmanand Hospital since 2005 and that he runs
Prime Speciality Clinic in Jagriti Enclave, Delhi. The clinic is described as a facility for orthopaedic patients, with
examination areas and supporting diagnostic and physiotherapy services.
This document retains the spirit of the supplied profile while organizing the information into a patient-readable
narrative. Because professional affiliations, appointments, services and schedules can change, patients should
confirm current details directly with the clinic or hospital.
Education and Advanced Training
Delhi Arthroscopy • Doctor's Profile Page 3
The doctor-profile page states that Dr. Srivastav obtained his M.S. in Orthopedics and subsequently pursued
additional training in India and abroad. It specifically mentions an AO/ASIF fellowship at University Hospital,
Salzburg, Austria, in 2006.
The profile also states that he received training in arthroscopy and sports medicine at TUM in Munich, Germany,
and at Rush Orthopedics Centre in Chicago, USA. Such additional exposure is described as contributing to his
understanding of orthopaedic problems and their management.
For patients, postgraduate and fellowship training can be relevant because orthopaedic surgery includes many
subspecialties. Knee ligament injuries, meniscus problems, cartilage disorders, shoulder instability, rotator cuff
disease and joint replacement can require different technical approaches. Continuing education and focused
training are therefore important parts of an orthopaedic surgeon’s professional development.
Patients considering a procedure should still ask about the surgeon’s current experience with their particular
operation, the hospital where it will be performed, the rehabilitation plan and the expected benefits and risks.
Knee Surgery and Arthroscopy
Knee care is one of the principal areas described in the profile. The page explains that arthroscopic surgical
techniques, often called keyhole surgery, have changed the management of many knee problems, including
ligament injuries, meniscus injuries and cartilage damage.
Knee arthroscopy uses a small camera to visualize the inside of the joint. Small portals allow instruments to enter
the knee so that the surgeon can inspect and, when appropriate, treat particular problems. Common arthroscopic
procedures include ACL reconstruction, meniscus surgery and treatment of selected cartilage problems.
The profile says Dr. Srivastav has experience performing thousands of knee arthroscopies for different conditions
and has treated sportspersons at different levels. For patients, the important point is that arthroscopy is a
technique rather than a diagnosis. Whether arthroscopy is appropriate depends on the specific injury, symptoms,
imaging, age, activity demands and response to non-operative treatment.
A consultation should therefore begin with diagnosis and goals rather than with an assumption that every knee
problem requires surgery.
Shoulder Surgery
The profile identifies shoulder surgery as another special interest. It mentions management of conditions such as
frozen shoulder, repeated shoulder dislocations and tendon injuries including rotator cuff tears.
Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive method of examining and treating structures within and around the
shoulder. Depending on the diagnosis, procedures can include stabilization for recurrent dislocation, rotator cuff
repair and treatment of selected associated problems.
Shoulder problems vary considerably. A painful shoulder can be related to the rotator cuff, biceps, labrum, arthritis,
stiffness or instability. An accurate history, examination and appropriate imaging are essential before choosing
treatment.
The profile also describes experience with shoulder and elbow replacement procedures for appropriate indications.
Replacement surgery is generally considered when joint damage or arthritis causes significant pain and functional
limitation and when the overall clinical picture supports replacement.
Elbow and Broader Orthopaedic Care
The doctor-profile page describes Dr. Srivastav’s special interest in knee, shoulder and elbow surgery while also
noting that he is trained in managing a broad range of orthopaedic and trauma problems.
Delhi Arthroscopy • Doctor's Profile Page 4
Orthopaedics covers bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles. A patient may therefore first present with a
symptom such as pain, swelling, stiffness or reduced function rather than a clearly identified condition. The role of
the consultation is to determine what structure is affected and whether treatment should be conservative,
rehabilitative or surgical.
A specialist assessment may include clinical examination, X-rays, MRI or other investigations when indicated. The
treatment plan can include physiotherapy, activity modification, medication, injections where appropriate,
arthroscopy, reconstruction or joint replacement depending on the diagnosis.
The profile’s emphasis on patient management is consistent with the practical principle that surgery should be
considered in the context of a patient’s goals and the expected balance between benefits, risks and rehabilitation.
Sports Injury Management
The profile states that Dr. Srivastav has treated sportspersons at different levels and has helped patients work
toward returning to their respective sports. Sports injuries can involve ligaments, menisci, cartilage, tendons,
muscles or combinations of these structures.
For an athlete, treatment is not complete when pain disappears. The knee or shoulder must regain adequate
movement, strength, coordination and confidence before demanding sport is resumed. Rehabilitation therefore
plays a central role.
For ACL injuries, for example, reconstruction may be considered when instability is significant or when the patient
wants to return to pivoting and cutting sports. Recovery includes progressive strength and neuromuscular training
and a staged return to running, jumping and sport-specific movement.
For shoulder injuries, rehabilitation may focus on restoring motion, cuff strength, scapular control and stability. The
appropriate pathway depends on the diagnosis. Patients should ask the surgeon and physiotherapist what
functional milestones must be achieved before returning to work, exercise or sport.
Joint Replacement Experience
The doctor-profile page states that Dr. Srivastav has also performed hundreds of knee replacements for patients
with advanced arthritis and describes knee, shoulder and elbow replacement as areas of practice.
Joint replacement is considered when a joint has substantial structural damage and symptoms remain significant
despite appropriate non-operative management, although indications vary. Knee replacement can be total, partial
or revision surgery depending on the pattern of arthritis, previous procedures, ligament status and other factors.
Shoulder replacement is also a specialized field. Different designs are used for different conditions, including
situations involving arthritis, fracture or significant rotator cuff dysfunction. The choice of procedure depends on the
patient’s anatomy and functional needs.
Patients considering joint replacement should ask about the diagnosis, available alternatives, implant type,
expected rehabilitation, likely hospital stay, complications and realistic functional goals. A personalized
assessment is more important than a generic claim about any single technique.
Robotic and Technology-Assisted Orthopaedics
Related Delhi Arthroscopy pages describe Dr. Srivastav’s work with robotic knee replacement and
technology-assisted orthopaedic surgery. The broader site emphasizes the use of modern techniques and
technology in joint replacement and arthroscopy.
Technology can assist a surgeon with planning, alignment and execution, but the value of any technology depends
on appropriate patient selection, surgical expertise, hospital systems and rehabilitation. Patients should ask what
technology is actually being proposed, why it is appropriate for their condition and how it changes the treatment
Delhi Arthroscopy • Doctor's Profile Page 5
plan.
A robotic system does not independently make the clinical decision. The surgeon remains responsible for
diagnosis, planning, the operative procedure and post-operative management. Patients should therefore evaluate
the complete care pathway rather than focusing on a device alone.
The same principle applies to arthroscopy: a small incision is only one part of treatment. Accurate diagnosis,
precise technique, protection of repaired tissues and a structured rehabilitation program all contribute to recovery.
Professional Conferences, Teaching and Research
The doctor-profile page states that Dr. Srivastav has attended medical conferences in India and abroad, with
particular emphasis on arthroscopy and joint replacement. It also states that he has been invited as expert faculty
at meetings and conferences and has been involved in organizing conferences.
The profile further states that he has presented research papers and delivered lectures at conferences and
workshops. It says that he has performed live arthroscopic surgeries at conferences for the benefit of delegates.
Teaching is also identified as part of his professional activities. The profile states that he is involved in teaching
DNB students and training orthopaedic fellows in arthroscopic surgery.
For patients, involvement in education can be one indicator of professional engagement with a specialty, although
it should not be viewed in isolation. When choosing a surgeon, patients should consider training, current
procedural experience, hospital support, communication, rehabilitation arrangements and whether the proposed
treatment fits their individual diagnosis.
Professional Associations
The profile lists membership and professional involvement in several orthopaedic and arthroscopy organizations. It
states that Dr. Srivastav is a life member of the Indian Orthopedics Association, Indian Arthroscopy Society, Indian
Cartilage Society, Shoulder & Elbow Society of India, Orissa Orthopedics Association and ISAKOS.
It also lists professional roles with the Delhi Orthopedics Association and East Delhi Orthopedics Association. The
profile states that he has served as an executive member of the Indian Arthroscopy Society and that he is
associated with the Journal of Arthroscopy & Joint Surgery as an associate editor and reviewer.
Professional societies can provide opportunities for continuing education, scientific discussion and interaction with
other specialists. Membership itself does not guarantee an outcome, but active professional participation can be
relevant when assessing a surgeon’s engagement with a field.
Patients can ask the clinic for the most current list of qualifications and professional memberships if they need the
information for formal documentation, insurance or a second-opinion process.
Community Health and Public Education
The profile describes participation in health camps in locations including Rishikesh, Bareilly, Hapur, Sonipat and
Faridkot. It also states that Dr. Srivastav has been invited to deliver health talks addressing public-health topics
such as arthritis and osteoporosis.
Community education can help patients understand common musculoskeletal conditions and the importance of
prevention, timely assessment and rehabilitation. Public education should, however, remain distinct from
individualized medical diagnosis. A general talk about arthritis, for example, cannot determine whether a particular
person needs medication, physiotherapy, injection or surgery.
For patients, preventive orthopaedic care may include maintaining healthy strength and mobility, addressing falls
and injury risks, protecting bone health, seeking assessment after significant injuries and following rehabilitation
Delhi Arthroscopy • Doctor's Profile Page 6
plans carefully.
Core Values: Innovation, Compassion and Integrity
The doctor-profile page presents three core values: innovation, compassion and integrity.
Innovation is described as embracing change, encouraging invention and staying at the forefront of advances in
orthopaedics for the benefit of patients. In practical terms, innovation can include adoption of evidence-informed
techniques, modern imaging, minimally invasive approaches and evolving rehabilitation methods when
appropriate.
Compassion is described as caring and sensitivity toward patients and colleagues and generosity within
communities. For a patient, compassionate care includes being listened to, having concerns addressed and
receiving clear explanations of treatment options.
Integrity is described in terms of ethical and professional standards, responsibility, trust, honesty and respect.
These principles are particularly important in surgery because patients need to understand not only the potential
benefits but also limitations, alternatives and risks.
A patient-centered consultation should give the patient enough information to participate meaningfully in decisions
about care.
Prime Speciality Clinic
The doctor-profile page describes Prime Speciality Clinic as a modern outpatient clinic designed to cater to
orthopaedic patients. It describes a comfortable waiting area and doctors’ chambers for examination.
The page also states that the clinic has facilities including a physiotherapy centre, diagnostic laboratory, X-ray
facility and an area for plaster application and dressings. It describes trained staff and says the laboratory is run by
a qualified pathologist and the physiotherapy service by an experienced physiotherapist.
For a patient, the value of an outpatient clinic is not only convenience but continuity. Diagnosis, follow-up,
rehabilitation and routine reviews may be easier when the care team can communicate across services.
The current facilities, hours and availability should be confirmed directly with the clinic before an appointment
because services can change.
Approach to Patient Care
A good orthopaedic consultation starts with understanding the patient’s problem in context. Two people can have
similar MRI findings but very different symptoms and activity requirements. A recreational walker, a competitive
athlete and a person doing heavy manual work may need different treatment priorities.
The consultation should therefore cover symptoms, duration, previous treatment, physical examination, imaging
and the patient’s goals. When surgery is being considered, patients should understand why it is recommended,
what alternatives exist and what rehabilitation will require.
The profile’s description of a focus on knee and shoulder problems, combined with arthroscopy, joint replacement
and sports injury management, reflects a broad orthopaedic practice. Patients should nevertheless discuss the
exact procedure relevant to their condition and ask about the surgeon’s current experience with that operation.
How to Prepare for an Appointment
Patients can make an orthopaedic consultation more productive by bringing previous X-rays, MRI or CT reports
and images when available. A list of medicines and important medical conditions is useful, as are records of
previous surgery or physiotherapy.
Delhi Arthroscopy • Doctor's Profile Page 7
Write down the main symptoms and what activities are affected. For example, note whether pain is worse at night,
whether the knee gives way, whether the shoulder cannot reach overhead, or whether walking or stairs have
become difficult.
Prepare questions about diagnosis, treatment options, expected recovery and risks. If surgery is proposed, ask
about the procedure, anesthesia, hospital stay, rehabilitation and realistic return-to-work or sport timelines.
A second opinion can be reasonable when a major operation is being considered or when the diagnosis is
uncertain. A well-prepared patient can use the consultation to compare options rather than simply asking whether
surgery is “needed.”
Appointment tip: Bring previous imaging, reports, a medication list and a short description of your
symptoms and activity goals.
A Balanced View of Surgical Care
Orthopaedic surgery can provide major functional improvement for appropriately selected patients, but no
operation is risk-free and no responsible clinician can guarantee a particular outcome.
Arthroscopy is minimally invasive, but the underlying procedure may still involve significant tissue healing. ACL
reconstruction, rotator cuff repair and other reconstructions require months of rehabilitation. Joint replacement
requires recovery, strength rebuilding and long-term activity planning.
Complications can include infection, bleeding, stiffness, blood clots, nerve or blood-vessel injury, persistent pain,
failure of a repair or reconstruction, or the need for further treatment. Individual risk depends on the procedure and
patient.
Patients should therefore evaluate the complete treatment plan: diagnosis, surgeon, hospital, anesthesia, surgical
technique, rehabilitation, follow-up and emergency arrangements. A clear conversation about benefits, alternatives
and risks is an essential part of informed consent.
Important: Surgical decisions should be based on your individual diagnosis and informed discussion of
benefits, alternatives, risks and rehabilitation.
Recognition and Professional Achievement
The supplied doctor-profile page states that Dr. Srivastav was awarded the “Rising Star in Orthopedics –
Delhi-NCR – 2018” by the Times of India Group. It also describes invitations to conferences and participation in
teaching, presentations and professional organizations.
Awards and professional recognition can provide useful background, but patients should still assess current clinical
information and their own needs. Healthcare decisions should be based on the diagnosis and a balanced
understanding of treatment options rather than on a single award or promotional statement.
The profile also emphasizes involvement in education and professional associations. Continuing engagement with
orthopaedic organizations can support ongoing learning, but patients should verify current credentials when formal
documentation is required.

Understanding Profile Information and Medical Advice
Understanding the Difference Between Profile Information and Medical Advice
A professional profile helps a patient understand a doctor’s training, areas of interest and practice environment, but
it cannot determine the best treatment for an individual. The same surgeon may recommend physiotherapy for one
patient, arthroscopy for another and joint replacement for a third because the diagnoses and goals are different.
Before an operation, patients should understand the diagnosis in plain language and know what the proposed
treatment is intended to accomplish. It is also reasonable to ask what would happen if surgery were postponed,
what non-surgical alternatives are available and what rehabilitation will be required. Patients should feel
comfortable asking questions and seeking another professional opinion when they want additional reassurance.
For follow-up care, patients should keep copies of imaging, operative notes, prescriptions and physiotherapy
instructions. These records can be useful if treatment is continued at another facility or if a second opinion is
needed. If symptoms change unexpectedly, the treating team should be contacted rather than relying on general
information from a website.
The clinic and hospital details in this brochure are included for convenience. Appointment availability, consultation
hours, fees, facilities and professional schedules may change. Confirm the current arrangements directly before
visiting, particularly if travelling from outside Delhi.
The overall purpose of this profile is to provide a concise introduction to Dr. Shekhar Srivastav and the services
described on the Delhi Arthroscopy website while keeping the patient’s decision-making at the centre of care.
