Dr Chokalingam B

Dr Chokalingam B is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Apollo Speciality Hospitals, Teynampet, Chennai, with 20+ years of experience. Apollo lists his qualifications as MBBS, D Ortho, MS Ortho and M.Ch Ortho (UK). He consults in English and Tamil and provides assessment and treatment for adults with musculoskeletal and joint problems.

His practice covers general orthopaedics, joint disorders, knee problems, osteoarthritis, joint instability and orthopaedic trauma. Evaluation may include a physical examination and review of X-rays, MRI or other imaging where clinically indicated. Treatment is selected according to the diagnosis, severity of structural damage, pain, mobility, age, activity level and the patient’s overall health.

For many patients, care begins with non-surgical measures such as medication, activity modification, physiotherapy, rehabilitation or bracing. Surgery may be considered when symptoms remain significant, joint damage is advanced or an injury requires operative treatment. The exact procedure depends on the affected joint or bone and on the patient’s functional goals.

Apollo currently lists Dr Chokalingam at its Teynampet facility in Chennai. He may be relevant for patients seeking specialist review for persistent joint pain, reduced mobility, degenerative joint disease, orthopaedic injury or a second opinion before surgery.

Treatment planning remains individualised, and the need for an operation is determined only after clinical assessment and appropriate imaging. Follow-up may include rehabilitation, repeat imaging or reassessment of pain, strength and mobility when clinically necessary after treatment.
