Dr. Gaurav Gupta is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon associated with Fortis Hospital Anandapur, Kolkata. His official Fortis Healthcare profile reports 16 years of professional experience. His principal clinical interests include arthroscopic surgery, sports injury management, joint replacement, shoulder and knee reconstruction, and minimally invasive procedures involving other major joints.
Dr. Gaurav Gupta holds DNB in Orthopaedics, MCh in Orthopaedics and MNAMS credentials as recorded by Fortis Healthcare. His professional experience includes work at specialist orthopaedic centres in the United Kingdom, Australia and Sweden between August 2008 and December 2012. This international exposure forms part of his background in advanced arthroscopic techniques and sports-related orthopaedic care.
Shoulder and knee arthroscopy are important areas of Dr. Gupta's surgical practice. Arthroscopy involves introducing a small camera and specialised instruments through small incisions to assess and treat selected joint problems. His hospital biography specifically documents rotator cuff repair, multi-ligament knee reconstruction and arthroscopic shoulder and knee procedures, including selected day-care operations.
Dr. Gupta's expertise also includes specialised arthroscopic procedures involving the wrist, ankle, hip and elbow. Fortis reports experience with triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) repair in the wrist, arthroscopic ankle fusion and procedures involving the hip and elbow. These techniques may be considered for selected joint injuries, instability, cartilage abnormalities or degenerative conditions following detailed clinical assessment.
Sports injury management is another documented area of his professional work. Fortis reports that Dr. Gupta has provided consultation services to athletes involved in cricket, football, golf and hockey, along with professional involvement in sporting events. Sports-related orthopaedic evaluation considers the nature of the injury, joint stability, imaging findings, rehabilitation requirements and the patient's activity goals.
Dr. Gaurav Gupta also has reported experience in joint replacement and reconstructive orthopaedic treatment. Surgical planning considers symptoms, joint damage, previous treatment and individual medical risks. Patients seeking specialist consultation for sports injuries, shoulder or knee problems, ligament injuries or arthroscopic procedures in Kolkata can enquire through Fortis Hospital Anandapur. Current consultation schedules and individual procedures should be confirmed directly with the hospital.
Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to examine and treat selected problems within the shoulder joint. A small camera and specialised instruments are inserted through small incisions. It may be considered for certain tendon injuries, joint instability or cartilage abnormalities. Surgical suitability depends on symptoms, imaging findings and previous treatment.
Rotator cuff repair is used to treat selected tears affecting the tendons that help move and stabilise the shoulder. Arthroscopic techniques may be used to reattach damaged tendons to bone. The decision to operate depends on tear size, symptoms, shoulder function and patient needs. Postoperative rehabilitation is essential for recovery.
Knee arthroscopy uses a small camera to examine or treat selected structures inside the knee joint. It may be appropriate for certain meniscus injuries, loose fragments or other mechanical problems. Evaluation considers clinical examination, imaging and the likelihood of improvement with rehabilitation or non-surgical treatment before proceeding with surgery.
Multi-ligament knee reconstruction addresses injuries involving two or more major stabilising ligaments of the knee. These complex injuries can cause significant instability and may occur following sports trauma or accidents. Treatment planning involves examination, MRI and assessment of associated injuries. Reconstruction and structured rehabilitation may be required in selected cases.
ACL reconstruction is considered for selected patients with anterior cruciate ligament injuries causing persistent knee instability or difficulty performing desired activities. A tendon graft is used to replace the torn ligament. Treatment decisions consider symptoms, associated injuries and activity requirements. Rehabilitation is an important part of restoring knee function.
The posterior cruciate ligament helps maintain knee stability by limiting excessive backward movement of the shin bone. Severe or combined ligament injuries may require reconstructive surgery. Evaluation includes examination, imaging and assessment of knee stability. Some isolated injuries can be managed without surgery, depending on severity and patient needs.
Meniscus injuries affect cartilage structures within the knee that help distribute load and support joint stability. Symptoms may include pain, swelling or mechanical catching. Management depends on the tear pattern, location and symptoms. Arthroscopic repair or other treatment may be considered when appropriate, while many patients benefit from conservative care.
Sports injuries may involve ligaments, tendons, cartilage, muscles or bones. Orthopaedic assessment considers the type of injury, instability, functional limitations and appropriate imaging findings. Treatment may involve activity modification, rehabilitation, protective devices or surgery for selected structural injuries. Return-to-sport decisions should be based on recovery and functional readiness.
Wrist arthroscopy uses a small camera to examine selected structures inside the wrist. It may help evaluate or treat cartilage, ligament and other joint problems. The procedure requires careful consideration of wrist anatomy and associated injuries. Treatment suitability depends on examination findings, imaging and the underlying cause of symptoms.
The triangular fibrocartilage complex is a group of structures that supports the wrist near the little-finger side. Injuries may cause pain, clicking or instability. Certain tears may be treated arthroscopically, while others respond to immobilisation and rehabilitation. Management depends on the tear type, location and associated joint instability.
Ankle arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to assess or treat selected problems within the ankle joint. It may be considered for joint impingement, loose fragments, cartilage abnormalities or certain inflammatory conditions. Evaluation includes clinical examination and appropriate imaging. Recovery depends on the diagnosis and specific procedure performed.
Arthroscopic ankle fusion, or arthrodesis, aims to permanently join selected ankle joint surfaces to reduce pain caused by severe joint damage. A minimally invasive approach may be suitable for some patients with advanced ankle arthritis. Fusion restricts movement at the treated joint, so careful assessment of function and alternatives is important.
Hip arthroscopy uses small instruments and a camera to evaluate or treat selected abnormalities inside the hip joint. It may be considered for certain labral injuries, impingement or cartilage conditions. The procedure is not suitable for every cause of hip pain. Clinical examination and imaging guide treatment planning.
Elbow arthroscopy is a minimally invasive technique used for selected problems affecting the elbow joint. Depending on the diagnosis, it may help address loose fragments, stiffness or certain joint abnormalities. The decision to perform arthroscopy considers elbow anatomy, symptoms, associated nerve structures and the expected benefits of treatment.
Joint replacement involves replacing severely damaged joint surfaces with artificial components to improve function and address persistent pain. It may be considered for advanced arthritis or other significant joint damage when appropriate non-surgical treatments are insufficient. Surgical planning accounts for anatomy, bone quality, overall health and rehabilitation needs.
Selected arthroscopic procedures may be performed as day-care surgery, allowing the patient to return home without a prolonged hospital stay. Suitability depends on the procedure, anaesthesia requirements, medical conditions and availability of postoperative support. Discharge decisions are based on clinical stability, pain control and recovery from anaesthesia.
