Dr. Vinod Sukhija
Experience: Over 45 years
Indraprastha Apollo Hospital
New Delhi, India
Introduction
Dr. Vinod Sukhija does orthopaedics at Indraprastha Apollo. Patients reach him when joints wear out and need replacing, fractures need fixing, the spine starts causing problems, a sports injury wrecked a knee or shoulder, or arthritis makes everyday movement painful and stiff.
About Dr. Vinod Sukhija
Dr. Vinod Sukhija has forty-five years of experience. That number alone tells a story most CVs can’t, but this one has a chapter most orthopaedic surgeons don’t: operating on injured soldiers during the Gulf War. Fellow of the AO Society, which is the international authority on how bones should be fixed, the principles of fracture fixation are taught in orthopaedic training programs worldwide.
Here’s where this career takes an unusual turn: he served as Head of Orthopaedics for the Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia for five years. Then, in 1991, during Operation Desert Storm, the Gulf War, he actively served as an orthopaedic surgeon with the American Allied Forces, treating injured soldiers on the front lines. Forty-five years of practice after all of that covers pretty much everything the musculoskeletal system can throw at you.

Patient Experience & Approach
Joint replacement patients say Dr. Vinod Sukhija’s evaluation covered whether replacement was truly needed or whether regenerative therapy could still buy meaningful time.

Across the board, families mention that forty-five years of experience shows in how calmly even the most intimidating surgical conversations get handled.
