Precise diagnosis
Clinical examination combined with X-ray, MRI and gait assessment to grade the exact stage of arthritis or AVN before anything is advised.

What sets the practice apart
Orthopaedic care that respects your time and your joint
A structured pathway — accurate diagnosis, honest staging of the disease, and the least aggressive treatment that gives a durable result.
Non-surgical first
Intra-articular injections, PRP, prolotherapy and structured physiotherapy are exhausted before a joint replacement is ever discussed.
Modern implants
High-flex and gender-specific knee systems, ceramic-on-poly hips, and computer-assisted alignment for implants meant to last decades.
Rapid recovery
Multimodal pain control, blood-conserving technique and day-one mobilisation — most patients climb stairs before discharge.
Meet your surgeon
Dr. Tarun Baghla, MS (Orthopaedics)
Dr. Baghla completed his postgraduate training in Orthopaedic Surgery at SGRR Institute of Medical & Health Sciences, Dehradun — a high-volume trauma centre for the Garhwal region, where he managed complex polytrauma, pelvic and peri-articular fractures through his residency.
He went on to serve as Attending Consultant in Orthopaedics at Fortis Hospital, Mohali, building a practice around adult joint reconstruction and orthopaedic trauma. He currently practises as Consultant Orthopaedic & Joint Replacement Surgeon at Sohana Hospital, Mohali. Across nine years he has performed over a thousand procedures, from fixing a road-accident femur at 3 AM to giving a 68-year-old her stairs back with a total knee replacement.
- Primary & revision total knee and total hip replacement
- Core decompression and hip preservation for AVN
- Complex trauma — intramedullary nailing, plating, external fixation
- Ultrasound-guided intra-articular and regenerative injections
Not sure if it is serious?

Areas of expertise
Four pillars of the practice
Choose a pillar to see what it covers and who it helps.
Hip & knee replacement that restores function
When cartilage is gone and bone rubs on bone, resurfacing the joint is the only durable answer. Modern implants and tissue-sparing technique mean shorter stays and faster returns to normal life.
- Total knee replacement — single or both knees
- Total hip replacement, including AVN and post-traumatic arthritis
- Partial (unicondylar) knee replacement for single-compartment disease
- Revision surgery for loosened or worn implants
Fractures fixed to heal straight and move early
Trauma rewards speed and precision. The goal is anatomical reduction, stable fixation and the earliest safe movement — because stiff joints, not broken bones, cause lasting disability.
- Closed intramedullary nailing of femur, tibia and humerus
- Locking plate fixation for peri-articular and complex fractures
- Hip fracture surgery in the elderly — fixation or replacement
- Polytrauma management and damage-control external fixation
- Malunion, non-union and post-traumatic deformity correction
Using your own biology to calm and repair
Early and moderate arthritis, tendon problems and ligament laxity often respond to treatments that stimulate repair rather than remove tissue. These are day-care procedures — you walk in and walk out.
- PRP (platelet-rich plasma) for knee, hip, shoulder and tendon pain
- Prolotherapy for lax ligaments, chronic sprains and low-back pain
- Bone marrow aspirate concentrate for early AVN and cartilage lesions
- Ultrasound-guided delivery for accuracy inside the joint
Targeted injections that buy real time
An accurate injection into the joint space can settle a painful flare in days and delay surgery by months or years. Choice of agent depends on your stage of disease, not on habit.
- Viscosupplementation (hyaluronic acid) to restore joint lubrication
- Corticosteroid injections for acute inflammatory flares
- Diagnostic blocks to confirm where the pain truly originates
- Trigger point, bursal and tendon sheath injections

Learn moreFractures & sports injury
Road accidents, falls in the elderly, ligament and meniscus tears, dislocations and sprains.
Learn moreTendon & ligament pain
Tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, rotator cuff tendinopathy and chronic ankle instability.

Your journey
What happens from the first call to full recovery
No surprises. You will know the plan, the cost bracket and the timeline before anything is scheduled.
Consultation & imaging
History, examination and X-rays reviewed together. MRI only when it will change the plan.
Staging & honest options
You are told the grade of your disease and every option — including doing nothing yet.
Treatment
Injection, regenerative therapy or surgery, with pre-operative optimisation where needed.
Rehabilitation
A written protocol, physiotherapy coordination and scheduled reviews at 2 weeks, 6 weeks and 3 months.
Why patients are referred here
What you can expect as a patient
Commitments that apply to every consultation, not marketing claims.
You will see your own images
Your X-ray or MRI is put on the screen and explained — which compartment is worn, what grade it is, and what that means for the next five years. No decision is taken on a report you have not seen.
You will be told every option
Including waiting and doing nothing. Where physiotherapy, an injection or regenerative therapy can reasonably be tried first, it will be offered before surgery is discussed.
You will get costs in writing
A written estimate covering implant, hospital stay and room category before anything is scheduled — plus help with insurance and TPA pre-authorisation through the hospital desk.
For the desk: once the Google Business Profile is verified, replace this block with the live rating and three or four recent reviews. Genuine, dated, named reviews carry more weight with patients than any claim the practice makes about itself.
Not sure if you need surgery?
Most people who come in expecting a replacement leave with an injection plan instead. Bring your X-rays — a 20-minute consultation will tell you exactly where you stand.
