Dr. Kartik Shukla is a senior consultant orthopaedic surgeon in Ahmedabad with more than 18 years of experience across joint replacement, trauma and reconstructive orthopaedics. He completed his M.B.B.S. from B. J. Medical College, Ahmedabad in 2000 with first class, and went on to earn his Master’s degree in Orthopaedic Surgery from the same institution in 2003, finishing with a Gold Medal.
His clinical focus is arthroplasty particularly partial knee replacement, computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery (CAOS), revision joint replacement and minimally invasive hip arthroplasty. Patients who come to him as a knee pain doctor in Ahmedabad are assessed for the full range of options, from conservative management and joint preservation through to partial or total replacement, so that surgery is recommended only when it is the appropriate next step.
Alongside his practice, Dr. Shukla heads the department of joint replacement and orthopaedics at SGVP Holistic Hospital, and is Director and Chief Surgeon at Adarsh Hospital, Telav. He also serves as a visiting surgeon at several orthopedic hospitals in Ahmedabad for complex primary and revision hip and knee replacement cases.
I chose orthopaedics because few areas of medicine let you see a patient's life change so clearly. When someone who arrived with a stiff, painful knee or hip walks out of the hospital on their own, that is the result that drew me towards joint replacement. Teaching other surgeons over the years has kept me learning too, and it reminds me that every technique we refine has one purpose: helping patients keep more of their natural movement and return to the life they want to live.
Dr. Shukla treats the full spectrum of adult joint and bone conditions. His most frequently performed procedures include:
Dr. Shukla was among the early adopters of computer-assisted unicondylar knee and total hip replacement in Gujarat, and has continued to work with navigation and robotic platforms as they have developed.
Navigation and robotic assistance are tools, not a substitute for surgical judgement. They are used selectively, where implant positioning or a patient’s anatomy makes the added precision worthwhile.
Awarded the Gold Medal.
Completed with first class.
Three years of orthopaedic residency, three months at the Paraplegia Centre, three months in the casualty department, and ten months as senior registrar.
Also served as an integral member of the hospital's trauma centre team.
