About Dr. Sanjiv K. S. Marya
Dr. Sanjiv K. S. Marya has been doing joint replacement work for over forty years. And most people coming to him have arthritis that can’t be helped with medicines and physiotherapy. He treats regular knee replacements to tougher situations like replacing both knees together or fixing joints where old implants failed.
Dr. Marya started doing bilateral joint replacements in India way back, letting patients get both knees done at once instead of going through surgery twice. He brought partial knee replacement to India, where only the damaged section gets replaced, not the whole knee. And uses robots to position implants really precisely, which helps them last longer and hurt less afterward. He got his training in the UK and works with bone doctors worldwide.
