Research Activities

The aim in Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences is to undertake clinical & basic research at a level of national excellence since we have a large volume of patients with joint problems and has to undertake more than 600 major surgeries of joint replacement surgery & arthroscopy annually. Academics involve teaching undergraduates and postgraduate students. He is the director of the Fellowship programme in Adult Reconstruction in Amrita Hospital and was instrumental in getting the institute ISAKOS approved.
He has researched the morphometric measurements of the distal end of the femur of our patients undergoing total knee replacement for the betterment of the future generation of knee implants, currently studying the rotational axis of the distal femur and proximal tibia in knee replacement patients.
A cadaveric study was done on the anterolateral ligament of the knee which is a controversial topic among the sports medicine surgeons. Also did a study on the pattern of infective pathogens of the prosthetic joint infections in a tertiary care institute. He is also keenly researching & collecting the data of the PROMs (Patient Reported Outcome Measures) of the joint replacement surgeries to better understand the patient’s perspective of the surgery.
Privileged to start the first Mako Robotic Arm assisted surgery for joint replacement in the institute in July 2017. Amrita is the first Institute in India to get the MAKO Robot and we have initiated a study of evaluating the Robotic vs Jig-based knee arthroplasty patients. The joint replacement programme in Amrita was audited and modified from an average inpatient stay of 7 days to the current 3 days after the report. The commonest bacteria involved in prosthetic joint infection was audited and given an insight to the surgeon and the infectious disease specialist for better treatment protocols
