Dr. Sanjay Das is an experienced orthopaedic surgeon in Kolkata, serving as Associate Consultant in Orthopaedics at Fortis Hospital, Anandapur. His official hospital profile lists 30 years of professional experience in orthopaedic care. His clinical expertise includes joint replacement surgery, arthroscopy and the management of complex musculoskeletal conditions. He specialises in evaluating and treating problems affecting bones, joints, ligaments and other structures that support movement and mobility.
Dr. Sanjay Das completed his MBBS from Silchar Medical College, Assam, and subsequently obtained a Diploma in Orthopaedics from Kasturba Medical College. He also holds an MCh in Orthopaedics from the University of Seychelles and an MHA from the Post Graduate Institute of Hospital Administration, Kolkata. His professional training includes a fellowship in Joint Replacement and Arthroscopy from Germany, providing additional exposure to specialised orthopaedic surgical techniques.
His documented clinical interests include total joint replacement and advanced orthopaedic care. Joint replacement surgery may be considered for patients with severe arthritis, joint damage or persistent pain that significantly restricts daily activities despite appropriate non-surgical treatment. Procedures such as knee and hip replacement aim to reduce pain and improve mobility by replacing damaged joint surfaces with artificial components. Treatment decisions depend on individual clinical findings, imaging and overall health.
Dr. Das also has reported expertise in arthroscopic procedures and sports-related joint injuries. Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to examine and treat selected conditions inside a joint through small incisions. His supplementary professional profile identifies ACL reconstruction, knee-related disorders and joint dislocation treatment among his services. Patients with ligament injuries, instability or persistent joint symptoms may require clinical evaluation, imaging and individually planned treatment.
His professional experience also includes the management of complex orthopaedic trauma and joint reconstruction. Fractures, dislocations and other injuries may affect bone alignment, joint stability and surrounding soft tissues. Treatment may involve immobilisation, rehabilitation or surgical fixation depending on the injury. The objective of orthopaedic management is to support healing, restore appropriate joint function and reduce long-term disability wherever possible.
Before joining his current Fortis Hospital association, Dr. Sanjay Das worked with several established healthcare institutions, including Peerless Hospital, Ramakrishna Seva Pratisthan and other hospitals in India. He is reported to be a member of the Indian Orthopaedic Association and West Bengal Arthroplasty Society. Patients seeking consultation for knee arthritis, hip pain, ligament injuries, joint instability, fractures or other orthopaedic concerns may enquire about appointments at Fortis Hospital, Anandapur, Kolkata. Specific surgical services, consultation schedules and fees should be confirmed directly with the hospital.
Total knee replacement is a surgical procedure used to replace damaged surfaces of the knee joint with artificial components. It may be recommended for patients with advanced knee arthritis, persistent pain and reduced mobility despite appropriate non-surgical treatment. Postoperative rehabilitation helps restore movement, improve strength and support recovery.
Total hip replacement involves replacing damaged portions of the hip joint with artificial implants. The procedure may be considered for severe hip arthritis, certain fractures or other conditions causing persistent pain and restricted mobility. Surgical planning considers the patient's age, medical condition, joint damage and individual functional requirements.
Joint replacement, also known as arthroplasty, involves replacing damaged joint surfaces with artificial components to improve function and reduce pain. It is commonly considered for advanced degenerative joint disease. The suitability of surgery depends on the affected joint, severity of symptoms, imaging findings and response to non-surgical treatment.
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a small camera and specialised instruments to examine and treat selected knee conditions. It may be considered for certain meniscus injuries, ligament-related problems or loose fragments within the joint. Recovery depends on the underlying condition and procedure performed.
Diagnostic arthroscopy allows an orthopaedic surgeon to examine structures inside a joint through small incisions using a camera. It can help assess selected cartilage, ligament and other joint abnormalities. The procedure is generally considered when symptoms and investigations suggest a problem that may also benefit from arthroscopic treatment.
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is used to restore knee stability following selected significant ACL injuries. The damaged ligament is replaced with a suitable tendon graft. Surgery may be recommended for patients with recurrent instability, associated injuries or high physical activity requirements. Rehabilitation is essential for regaining knee function.
A meniscus tear involves injury to the cartilage that cushions and stabilises the knee. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, catching or difficulty moving the joint. Management depends on tear pattern, location and symptoms and may involve physiotherapy, activity modification, arthroscopic repair or selected tissue removal procedures.
Complex orthopaedic trauma may involve displaced fractures, joint injuries and damage to surrounding soft tissues. Treatment focuses on restoring alignment, supporting bone healing and preserving function. Surgical stabilisation may involve plates, screws, nails or other fixation devices depending on the fracture pattern and individual clinical circumstances.
A joint dislocation occurs when the bones forming a joint are displaced from their normal positions. It can cause severe pain, swelling, deformity and restricted movement. Treatment often requires prompt medical assessment and careful reduction, followed by evaluation of associated ligament, nerve or vascular injuries and rehabilitation.
Elbow replacement is a surgical procedure in which damaged portions of the elbow joint are replaced with artificial components. It may be considered for selected patients with severe arthritis, complex fractures or significant joint destruction. Treatment suitability depends on bone quality, functional needs, overall health and surgical risk.
Knee arthritis can cause persistent pain, stiffness, swelling and difficulty walking. Evaluation may include examination and imaging to identify joint degeneration and other contributing conditions. Management can involve exercise, physiotherapy, weight management, appropriate medication and, in advanced cases, consideration of joint replacement surgery.
Neck pain may arise from muscle strain, degenerative changes, posture-related problems or other musculoskeletal conditions. Orthopaedic evaluation focuses on symptoms, neurological findings and possible warning signs. Treatment may include activity modification, physiotherapy, suitable medication and further investigations when clinically indicated.
