I injured my wrist playing football and the pain was so much so I was very sure that I had messed up my wrist. I went to ortho clinic near my house and saw an orthopedician who adviced an X-ray.

The X-ray gave me a shocker. It actually had two fractures out of which one fracture was definitely an old fracture. So I got a CT & MRI also done, and the findings were Fresh fracture of the lunate and Old fracture of the Scaphoid.

I went back to my Orthopediacian and I was told that the scaphoid has gap broken and since it was a old fracture it has gone in Avascular Necrosis so it is non salvageable. He would put me in a POP for the fresh fracture for 2 weeks and old fracture is anyway too late I was told I have to live with it at the price of developing Arthrisis in the wrist when I get old which would reduce my wrist motion considerably.

I’m 28, active in sports and this was real bad news. I took lot of opinions and almost everyone came up with the same thing. I was fortunate to know top radiologist in the city through my profession and I was referred to Dr.Sunil Gavaskar. Like most one would have reacted what a Name! 😬

I went to meet Dr.Sunil and breifed him the whole episode. He delivered the first piece of good news I had been hoping for. He said he can fix this and he even explained the surgical intrecacies.

The procedure he had planned for my Scaphoid Non Union was to use a Headless Screw and achieve union. He had also informed that on the surgical table he might opt for a graft also depending on the condition of my bone when he sees it cut open. I was little worried but if I wouldn’t trust him who else would I ? So I left it to him.

During the surgery it turned out that my joint was actually more complicated that we had anticipated. So he had taken a graft from the hip bone to unite my Scaphoid with a headless screw. I was put on POP time of 4 weeks but during subsequent review he convinced me and extended my POP time by another 2 weeks. I was a bit low at that time since I had my birthday and going around with a POP isn’t really exciting. But nevertheless, I am much happier now because my Scaphoid had completely reunited without any major restriction in movement.

Would recommend Dr.Sunil absolutely!

Had met Dr.Sunil to treat my mother who is 65 who had a hip fracture due to an accidental fall. Though the X-ray report did not show any fracture, the doctor was very confident of fractute and asked me to take an MRI. To my surprise, she did have a fracture.

The option of treatment was well explained... Surgery Vs non invasive complete bed rest. Dr. Sunil gave both the options, explained the Pros and Cons on each option. Very patient approach and very clear in explaining the procedure. My mother had other health complications as well which added to the considerations plus Covid situation.. he assured and ensured each of my concerns were taken care of.

The surgery went well, was happy with the post surgery support I got from the Doctor and the hospital. While I hope I don't have to go back to the hospital, I'm glad I picked up Rela as per his suggestion for the surgery.

I suffered a fracture on my left thumb as a result of a sporting accident. I initially consulted a popular Ortho specialty hospital in Ashok Nagar near my place and I was suggested a surgical process as there were multiple fractures in the finger. I was recommended Dr. Sunil Gavaskar by a very good friend of mine and decided to consult the next day. Upon evaluating my X-ray, scans and visually inspecting the injured finger - he suggested I avoid a surgery and immobilise my finger with POP. His inference was that a surgery would no guarantee 100% recover due the the complicated nature of the fractures and that a non-intrusive recovery program would be just as effective. 2 years since the incident, my finger has recovered almost fully with no pain. He helped me avoid an unnecessary intrusive surgery. He was friendly, helped me understand the situation and with post-recovery rehab.
