Mumbai, May 8, 2025 – Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital introduced the Institute of Advanced Orthopaedics, Spine & Joint Care. With a combined experience of over 200 years and 40,000+ surgeries, the institute is one of Western India’s most advanced and fully integrated centres offering comprehensive care for adult and paediatric musculoskeletal disorders.
The institute was launched in presence of distinguished chief guests — Mr. Paresh Rawal, Indian actor, comedian, film producer and former Member of the Lok Sabha, Mr. Mohammad Azharuddin, former captain of the Indian national cricket team and former Member of the Lok Sabha and Dr. Vivek Talaulikar, Director and Chief Operating Officer, Western Region, Max Healthcare.
The Institute brings together world‑class infrastructure and a multidisciplinary team of orthopaedic surgeons, spine specialists, musculoskeletal oncologists, sports medicine specialists, physiotherapists, and trauma experts—delivering quaternary‑level treatment under one roof.
Prof. (Dr.) Pradeep B. Bhosale, Senior Director – Robotic Joint Replacement, Hip and Knee Surgery, Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital, “The Institute combines cutting‑edge robotics, minimally invasive techniques, and advanced physiotherapy to help patients regain mobility faster, with fewer complications. We aim to create a Centre of Excellence for all kinds of musculoskeletal disorders for patients in India and abroad.”
The Institute also houses one of Maharashtra’s first in‑hospital 3D‑printing laboratories. The advanced 3D Printers help doctors turn patients’ CT scans into lifelike bone models and custom cutting guides that fit seamlessly over the real bone in operating theatres. By visualising and planning the operation ahead of time—and following these made‑to‑fit guides—surgeons can remove tumours and repair complex defects with pinpoint accuracy.
Supported by the hospital’s 24×7 imaging, blood bank, and laboratory services, the Institute also offers seamless care pathways—from initial diagnosis to postoperative rehabilitation. Robotics‑guided navigation systems enhance surgical precision, while a purpose‑built physiotherapy wing accelerates recovery through personalised exercise protocols and gait‑training labs.
Dr. Mihir Bapat, Senior Director – Orthopaedics & Spinal Surgery, Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital, said, “Beyond the operating theatre, we also connect with the community, creating awareness about posture, ergonomics, and sports injury prevention. We are official medical partners of renowned sports clubs and teams, where our sports medicine specialists and physiotherapists guide and manage sports-related injuries during a professional game. Our multidisciplinary team doesn’t just aim to fix bones, but offer mobility and quality of life to the community in general.”
The Institute’s key clinical offerings encompass a wide spectrum of specialized orthopaedic care, including comprehensive adult and paediatric orthopaedics, trauma, and reconstructive surgery. The joint replacement unit—recognised by Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS), provides cutting-edge robotic-assisted hip and knee replacements, covering primary, revision, and unicondylar procedures in a dedicated operation theatre. The institute’s advanced spine surgery portfolio features Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) and complex spinal deformity corrections.
The Arthroscopy & Sports Medicine experts of the team specialise in all Upper Limbs (Shoulder & Elbow) & Hand Surgeries. Similarly, the orthopaedic oncology unit is recognised for limb-salvage and bone-tumour surgeries. Nanavati Max Hospital’s dedicated ICU is staffed by ATLS- and ACLS-certified critical-care physicians, ensuring expert round-the-clock care. Additionally, the hospital offers integrated pain-management and rehabilitation programmes led by senior physiotherapists to support optimal recovery and long-term well-being.
