Mumbai — Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital has inaugurated its Institute of Advanced Orthopaedics, Spine & Joint Care, a state-of-the-art facility aimed at delivering comprehensive care for adult and paediatric musculoskeletal conditions. Backed by a multidisciplinary team with over 200 years of combined experience and a record of 40,000+ surgeries, the institute sets out to become a premier centre for advanced orthopaedic care.
The launch event was graced by actor and former Member of Parliament Paresh Rawal, cricketer and ex-MP Mohammad Azharuddin, and Dr Vivek Talaulikar, Director and Chief Operating Officer – Western Region, Max Healthcare.
Holistic, Technology-Driven Care
The institute brings together experts in orthopaedics, spine surgery, sports medicine, musculoskeletal oncology, trauma care, and physiotherapy. Services span robotic surgeries, minimally invasive techniques, advanced post-operative care, and individualised rehabilitation protocols.
Dr Pradeep B Bhosale, Senior Director – Robotic Joint Replacement, said the institute combines robotics, 3D-printing, and precision techniques to enhance surgical outcomes. “We aim to create a Centre of Excellence for musculoskeletal disorders for patients across India and abroad,” he said.
Among its standout features is one of Maharashtra’s first in-hospital 3D-printing labs, enabling the creation of surgical bone models and guides for complex tumour and reconstruction surgeries.
