Dr. Amit Guha is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon associated with Fortis Hospital Anandapur, Kolkata. His official Fortis Healthcare profile reports 35 years of professional experience. His clinical speciality focuses on conditions affecting bones, joints and related musculoskeletal structures. His supplementary professional profile identifies complex primary joint replacement, arthroscopic surgery and ligament reconstruction among his clinical interests.
Dr. Amit Guha holds an MBBS and MS in Orthopaedics. These qualifications are confirmed by Fortis Healthcare and Joint & Bone Care Hospital. His postgraduate training in orthopaedics supports the assessment and surgical management of bone and joint disorders, including conditions that cause persistent pain, joint instability, deformity and reduced mobility.
Joint replacement is an important area of Dr. Guha's reported surgical practice. His supplementary clinical profile highlights complex primary replacement procedures involving the hip, knee, elbow and shoulder. Joint replacement may be considered when advanced arthritis or significant joint damage causes persistent symptoms despite appropriate non-surgical treatment. The choice of operation depends on the affected joint, imaging findings and individual medical condition.
Dr. Guha's reported clinical interests also include arthroscopic procedures for selected knee, shoulder and ankle conditions. Arthroscopy uses a small camera and specialised instruments to examine or treat problems inside a joint. Related procedures may include the management of meniscus injuries and selected ligament tears. The suitability of surgical intervention depends on symptoms, joint stability and rehabilitation needs.
Anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction are included in his supplementary procedure list. These operations may be considered for selected patients experiencing instability after significant ligament injuries. Orthopaedic evaluation commonly involves physical examination, imaging and assessment of activity requirements before recommending conservative treatment or surgery.
Dr. Amit Guha is also listed as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Joint & Bone Care Hospital. His practice is relevant to patients seeking assessment for joint pain, arthritis, ligament injuries and other orthopaedic conditions. Patients in Kolkata can enquire about consultations through Fortis Hospital Anandapur or JBCH, subject to current availability and confirmation of individual surgical services.
Complex primary knee replacement is performed in selected patients with severe knee joint damage, deformity or anatomical challenges that make conventional replacement more demanding. Damaged joint surfaces are replaced with artificial components. Surgical planning considers knee alignment, bone quality, ligament stability and the patient's overall medical condition.
Total hip replacement involves replacing damaged parts of the hip joint with artificial components. It may be recommended for advanced arthritis, certain fractures or other conditions causing persistent pain and reduced movement. Treatment planning includes assessment of bone quality, joint anatomy, surgical risk and postoperative rehabilitation requirements.
Elbow replacement surgery involves replacing damaged joint surfaces with artificial components. It may be considered for selected patients with severe arthritis, complex fractures or significant joint damage. Surgical assessment considers bone quality, elbow stability, surrounding nerves and the patient's functional needs before selecting an appropriate treatment approach.
Shoulder replacement is used for selected conditions involving severe joint damage, advanced arthritis or complex fractures. The damaged joint surfaces are replaced with suitable prosthetic components. Depending on the condition of the rotator cuff, different implant designs may be considered. Rehabilitation plays an important role in recovery.
Diagnostic arthroscopy uses a small camera inserted into a joint to examine internal structures. It may be considered when clinical examination and imaging do not adequately explain persistent symptoms or when arthroscopic treatment is also planned. The procedure is selected according to the joint involved and the expected diagnostic benefit.
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to evaluate or treat selected conditions inside the knee. It may be considered for certain meniscus tears, loose fragments or other mechanical joint problems. Treatment depends on symptoms, imaging findings and whether non-surgical management is appropriate.
Shoulder arthroscopy uses a small camera and specialised instruments to examine or treat selected problems affecting the shoulder joint. Depending on the diagnosis, it may be considered for certain tendon injuries, instability or joint abnormalities. Surgical suitability is based on examination findings, imaging and previous treatment.
Ankle arthroscopy is a minimally invasive technique used to assess or treat selected conditions within the ankle joint. These may include cartilage abnormalities, joint impingement or loose fragments. Clinical examination and imaging help determine whether arthroscopy is appropriate, and postoperative rehabilitation depends on the procedure performed.
ACL reconstruction is a surgical procedure used to restore stability in selected patients with a torn anterior cruciate ligament. A graft is used to replace the damaged ligament. Surgery may be considered when instability persists or specific activity requirements make reconstruction beneficial. Structured rehabilitation is essential after treatment.
PCL reconstruction treats selected serious injuries involving the posterior cruciate ligament, which helps stabilise the knee. The procedure replaces the damaged ligament with a suitable graft. Treatment decisions depend on instability, associated ligament injuries, imaging findings and whether rehabilitation alone is likely to provide adequate function.
The meniscus is a cartilage structure that distributes weight and supports stability within the knee. A tear may cause pain, swelling or mechanical symptoms. When the tear pattern and blood supply are suitable, arthroscopic repair may be considered. Some meniscus injuries can be managed without surgery.
Osteotomy is a procedure in which a bone is carefully cut and repositioned to correct alignment or redistribute forces across a joint. It may be considered for selected deformities or localised joint damage. Surgical planning depends on bone anatomy, joint condition, patient activity and long-term functional goals.
Spine surgery assessment evaluates selected spinal conditions that may cause persistent pain, nerve compression or neurological symptoms. Investigations may include clinical examination and MRI or other imaging. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment options range from rehabilitation and medication to specialised surgical procedures when appropriate.
Amputation may be considered in severe circumstances involving irreparable limb damage, uncontrolled infection or other serious conditions. Assessment focuses on whether limb preservation is possible, the patient's overall health and future rehabilitation needs. Decisions require careful discussion and often multidisciplinary involvement.
Orthopaedic consultation evaluates conditions affecting bones, joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Patients may seek assessment for persistent joint pain, swelling, stiffness, instability or injuries. Management depends on the diagnosis and may include medication, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, injections or surgery when clinically appropriate.
