Dr. Pulak Vatsya
Trained at AIIMS New Delhi, PGIMER Chandigarh, and Tokyo Sports & Orthopaedic Centre (Japan). Dr. Pulak focuses on minimally invasive Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) hip replacement, robotic joint replacements, unicompartmental knees and complex revision surgeries.
About & Approach
Dr. Pulak’s philosophy blends globally current surgical techniques with personalised rehabilitation. He emphasises prehabilitation, multimodal pain control, ortho-biologics where appropriate, and close coordination with physiotherapy for durable, functional outcomes.
Key strengths
- Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) total hip replacement — muscle-sparing & fast recovery
- Robotic hip & knee arthroplasty
- Revision arthroplasty for failed implants and complex deformity correction
- Comprehensive perioperative care: prehab → surgery → advanced rehab
Procedures & Services
Patient Journey — Detailed Roadmap
Initial Consultation & Assessment
Comprehensive history, targeted physical exam and review of imaging (X-rays, MRI/CT as needed). Expect a clear discussion of diagnosis, options (conservative vs surgical), and short-term goals.
Individualised Treatment Planning
Shared decision-making including implant choice, surgical approach (DAA, robotic assistance), and expected recovery milestones. Pre-op medical optimisation if required.
Prehabilitation (Pre-op Conditioning)
Targeted exercises to improve strength, range of motion and aerobic capacity — short sessions supervised by physiotherapy with a home program.
Surgery & Perioperative Care
Minimally invasive or robotic techniques used when indicated. Multimodal analgesia and DVT prophylaxis are standard. Team monitors early mobilisation starting the same day where safe.
Early Rehabilitation (0–6 weeks)
Surgeon-prescribed physiotherapy focusing on safe weight-bearing, gait training, pain control and gradual strengthening. Regular follow-ups to review wounds and function.
Progressive Strength & Conditioning (6–12 weeks)
Structured rehabilitation to restore strength, balance and return-to-work guidelines. Sport-specific return-to-play planning for athletes.
Long-term Follow-Up & Maintenance
Annual reviews, guidance on activity modification, weight & joint health, and access to physiotherapy for ongoing care.
