A. Kachare

Dr. Aavi A. Kachare is an orthopedic consultant and innovator based in Mira Road, Mumbai, specializing in Robotic Joint Replacement, Arthroscopy and Sports Surgery, 3D-printed implants, and complex trauma management. Holding an MBBS and MS Orthopedics from Sion Hospital — Asia's one of the largest trauma centers and among the top 3 orthopedic postgraduate training institutions in India — he has completed three international fellowships: Robotic Joint Replacement at Queen Mary Hospital (Hong Kong), Advanced Arthroscopy and Sports Surgery at St. George University Teaching Hospital (Szekesfeherver, Hungary), and Trauma & 3D Printing at Queen Mary Hospital (Hong Kong). His approach merges cutting-edge global surgical research with clinical excellence to deliver superior patient outcomes in knee and hip replacement surgery in Mumbai.

Potentially first orthopedic surgeon in India (among fewer than 5 globally) to use a 3D-printed implant for non-union in a weight-bearing tibia bone — a landmark in reconstructive orthopedic surgery. His muscle-sparing and Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) techniques for hip and knee replacement enable patients to walk within 24 hours of surgery. The results of this surgical expertise speak for themselves — patients are able to run following knee and hip replacement. Watch on Instagram →
