Senior Consultant – Orthopaedic and Robotic Joint Replacement Surgeon16+ years
Fortis Hospitals
Kolkata
Dr. Soumya Chakraborty is a Senior Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Fortis Hospital, Anandapur, Kolkata, with more than 16 years of experience in orthopaedic care. His areas of expertise include robotic-assisted joint replacement, conventional joint reconstruction, complex trauma, sports injuries and spine-related conditions.
He completed his MBBS at NRS Medical College, Kolkata, followed by MS in Orthopaedics and DNB in Orthopaedics at PGIMER, Chandigarh. He also obtained MRCS (Glasgow) and has received advanced training in spinal and joint replacement procedures.
Dr. Chakraborty specialises in knee and hip replacement surgery, including conventional and robotic-assisted techniques. His clinical work includes total and partial knee replacement, hip arthroplasty and revision joint replacement procedures for patients with advanced joint disease or previous implant-related problems.
He has experience in arthroscopic procedures and the management of sports-related injuries, ligament damage and complex fractures. His broader orthopaedic practice also includes arthritis management, adult reconstruction and selected spine conditions requiring specialist surgical assessment.
His practice incorporates robotic-assisted technology for joint replacement planning and execution. Robotic systems can support precise implant positioning and personalised surgical planning, although the choice of technique depends on individual anatomy, disease severity and clinical suitability.
Dr. Soumya Chakraborty is associated with Fortis Hospital Anandapur and also lists consultations at RxVital Healthcare in Kolkata. He is a member of the Indian Orthopaedic Association and North American Spine Society and communicates in English, Hindi and Bengali.
Robotic-assisted knee replacement uses computer-guided technology to support surgical planning and implant positioning. It may be considered for patients with advanced knee arthritis who have persistent pain and reduced mobility despite appropriate non-surgical treatment. The surgeon remains responsible for performing and controlling the procedure.
Total knee replacement involves replacing damaged joint surfaces with artificial components. It is commonly considered for severe osteoarthritis or other advanced joint disorders when pain and functional limitations remain significant despite conservative management. Rehabilitation is important for restoring strength and mobility after surgery.
Partial knee replacement treats damage limited to a suitable compartment of the knee while preserving other healthy structures. It may be an option for selected patients with localised arthritis. Eligibility depends on ligament stability, joint alignment, symptoms and the distribution of cartilage damage.
Total hip replacement replaces damaged hip joint surfaces with artificial components. It may be recommended for advanced hip arthritis or other conditions causing persistent pain and disability. Surgical planning considers bone quality, joint anatomy, mobility requirements and the patient's overall health.
Revision joint replacement is performed when an existing artificial joint requires further surgery because of loosening, wear, infection, instability or another complication. These procedures can be more complex than primary replacements and require detailed imaging, assessment and individualised reconstruction planning.
Knee arthroscopy uses a small camera and specialised instruments inserted through small incisions to examine or treat selected joint problems. It may be appropriate for certain meniscal injuries or mechanical symptoms, although it is not routinely recommended for uncomplicated degenerative knee arthritis.
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction restores knee stability by replacing a torn ligament with a graft. Surgery may be considered for patients experiencing instability, particularly those participating in pivoting sports. Rehabilitation before and after surgery is essential for functional recovery.
Meniscus repair aims to preserve damaged knee cartilage when the tear pattern and blood supply make healing possible. Treatment decisions depend on the patient's symptoms, age, activity level and tear characteristics. Some injuries may be managed without surgery.
Sports injuries may involve ligaments, tendons, muscles, cartilage or bones. Specialist assessment identifies the injured structures and guides treatment through rehabilitation, activity modification, medication or surgery when necessary. Return-to-sport decisions are based on healing and functional recovery.
Complex fractures may involve multiple bone fragments, joint surfaces or surrounding soft tissues. Treatment can require surgical fixation to restore alignment and stability. The approach depends on fracture pattern, injury severity, soft-tissue condition and the patient's overall medical status.
Arthritis management focuses on reducing pain, maintaining movement and limiting disability. Treatment may include exercise therapy, weight management, medications, injections and joint replacement for advanced disease. Recommendations depend on the affected joint, arthritis type and severity of symptoms.
Spine surgery may be considered for selected patients with nerve compression, instability or other structural spinal conditions when appropriate non-surgical care is insufficient or urgent neurological problems arise. Detailed clinical assessment and imaging help determine whether surgery is indicated.
Shoulder arthroscopy uses a camera and small surgical instruments to evaluate and treat selected shoulder conditions, including certain tendon, labral and instability problems. Treatment depends on the underlying diagnosis, severity of symptoms and response to physiotherapy or other conservative measures.
Adult joint reconstruction includes procedures intended to restore joint function when severe damage affects mobility and daily activities. Depending on the condition, treatment may involve joint preservation, corrective surgery or replacement. Surgical decisions consider age, anatomy, symptoms and functional goals.
