His clinical expertise includes robotic-assisted orthopaedic surgery and primary and revision joint replacement procedures.
Dr. Yogish completed his MBBS in 1999 and MS in Orthopaedics in 2003 at J.J.M. Medical College, Davanagere. He subsequently obtained an MCh in Orthopaedics from the University of Dundee, United Kingdom, and completed the Associate of the Royal College of Surgeons programme in England. His qualifications reflect additional specialist training in orthopaedic surgery and joint reconstruction.
His clinical areas of expertise include knee and hip joint replacement, revision joint replacement, geriatric orthopaedics, arthritis, sports-related knee injuries, ligament tears, meniscal injuries and complex trauma. He also manages pelvic and acetabular fractures, cartilage-related conditions and rotator cuff injuries. Treatment recommendations depend on the nature of the injury or condition, clinical examination and relevant imaging findings.
Dr. Yogish's surgical expertise includes robotic-assisted hip and knee replacement, primary and revision joint replacement, and arthroscopy of the knee and shoulder. Joint replacement may be considered for selected patients with advanced joint damage and persistent symptoms, while arthroscopy can help diagnose or treat certain joint problems. The most appropriate approach depends on the patient's condition, functional needs and overall health.
His professional interests include sports injury management, cartilage restoration, complex fracture care and the treatment of degenerative joint conditions in older adults. His background also includes postgraduate research and presentations relating to orthopaedics, implants and MRI. These areas complement his work in evaluating musculoskeletal conditions and discussing suitable treatment options with patients.
Patients seeking an orthopaedic surgeon in Bangalore may consult Dr. Yogish Vijaya Kumar at Manipal Hospitals, Jayanagar, for knee or hip pain, arthritis, sports injuries, ligament damage, fractures and joint replacement evaluation. Patients considering surgery can discuss the potential benefits, risks, alternatives and rehabilitation requirements during consultation. Appointment availability and the suitability of specific procedures should be confirmed directly with the hospital.
Knee replacement surgery may be recommended for patients with advanced knee joint damage, commonly associated with osteoarthritis, when pain and mobility limitations persist despite appropriate non-surgical treatment. The procedure replaces damaged joint surfaces with artificial components. Assessment includes symptoms, imaging, general health and individual functional goals.
Hip replacement involves replacing damaged parts of the hip joint with artificial components to address significant pain and loss of function. It may be considered for selected patients with advanced arthritis or other severe joint damage. An orthopaedic assessment helps determine whether surgery or a non-surgical approach is appropriate.
Robotic-assisted joint replacement uses technology to support surgical planning and guide aspects of implant positioning. It may be considered for selected patients requiring knee or hip replacement. Suitability depends on the patient's anatomy, joint condition and overall treatment goals. The technology does not eliminate the risks associated with surgery.
Revision joint replacement is a procedure to replace or reconstruct an existing artificial joint when complications such as loosening, wear, infection or instability occur. These cases may require detailed imaging and careful surgical planning. The appropriate treatment depends on the cause of the problem and the condition of the surrounding bone and soft tissues.
Arthritis can cause joint pain, swelling, stiffness and difficulty with everyday activities. Management depends on the type and severity of arthritis and may include activity modification, medication, physiotherapy and surgical assessment when necessary. Patients with persistent knee or hip symptoms may benefit from an orthopaedic evaluation.
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure in which a small camera and specialised instruments are used to examine or treat selected problems inside the knee. It may be considered for certain meniscal injuries, loose bodies and other specific joint conditions. The decision to perform arthroscopy depends on the diagnosis and expected benefit.
Shoulder arthroscopy allows an orthopaedic surgeon to examine and treat selected problems within the shoulder joint through small incisions. Depending on the diagnosis, it may be used for certain soft-tissue injuries and other shoulder conditions. Clinical examination and imaging help determine whether arthroscopy or another treatment is suitable.
Sports injuries can affect ligaments, tendons, cartilage and other structures around the joints. Assessment may include physical examination and imaging to determine the extent of injury. Treatment can involve activity modification, rehabilitation and, for selected injuries, surgery. The aim is to support safe recovery and an appropriate return to activity.
Anterior cruciate ligament and other ligament injuries may cause knee pain, swelling or instability. Management depends on the severity of the injury, activity level and associated damage. Some patients benefit from structured rehabilitation, while others may require ligament reconstruction following specialist assessment.
Fractures can result from falls, road traffic accidents, sports injuries or other trauma. Treatment depends on the bone involved, fracture pattern, displacement and associated injuries. Care may involve immobilisation, fracture fixation or surgery, followed by rehabilitation and monitoring to assess healing and restore function.
Pelvic and acetabular fractures can result from high-impact trauma and may affect stability, movement and weight-bearing. These injuries require careful assessment, often including specialised imaging. Treatment depends on fracture stability, displacement and associated injuries, with surgical management considered when clinically indicated.
Cartilage and meniscal injuries can cause joint pain, swelling, catching or restricted movement, particularly in the knee. Treatment depends on the location and extent of damage, symptoms and functional requirements. Options may include rehabilitation, activity modification and selected surgical procedures following an appropriate orthopaedic assessment.
