Dr. Chetan A

Dr. Chetan A is a Consultant Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgeon at HOSMAT Hospital, Magrath Road, Bengaluru. HOSMAT lists MBBS and MS (Orthopaedics) and currently records more than 23 years of experience. His education includes MBBS from JSS Medical College, Mysore and MS Orthopaedics from JJM Medical College, Davangere.

His clinical interests include lower-limb polytrauma, ankle and foot surgery, complex shoulder and wrist surgery, paediatric trauma and hip and knee arthroplasty. HOSMAT also records advanced trauma training at centres across India together with International Trauma & Life Support training.

He is listed as a life member of the Bangalore Orthopaedic Association and Karnataka Orthopaedic Association. His current HOSMAT role therefore combines trauma care with elective orthopaedic surgery.

Patients with fractures, polytrauma, ankle or foot injuries, shoulder or wrist problems and degenerative hip or knee disease may require different combinations of clinical examination and imaging before a treatment plan is chosen.

X-rays are commonly central to fracture and arthritis assessment, while CT or MRI may be needed for complex trauma, ligament or soft-tissue injury. Previous operative records and implant details are important in patients who have already undergone surgery. The decision between non-operative care, fixation, arthroplasty or another procedure is made only after direct orthopaedic review.
