Dr. Krishan Prasad

Dr. Krishan Prasad is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at HOSMAT Hospital, Magrath Road, Bengaluru. HOSMAT lists MBBS, MS (Orthopaedics) and MCh Orthopaedics from the UK and currently records more than 32 years of experience. The hospital also identifies him as a National Board teacher and medico-legal expert.

His career includes longstanding general orthopaedic practice and postgraduate teaching. HOSMAT records earlier orthopaedic appointments at hospitals in Bengaluru, Dubai and the United Kingdom, followed by work as Consultant and DNB Coordinator at HOSMAT from 2005 onward.

The hospital lists a Distinguished National Board Teacher Award and service as a National Board examiner. It also records presentations at national orthopaedic conferences and SICOT Dubai. Languages listed by HOSMAT are English, Hindi, Kannada and Bengali.

Because his official profile describes broad general orthopaedics rather than one narrow procedural subspecialty, patients should be assessed according to the specific problem rather than assuming a particular operation. Recent X-rays and other relevant imaging are useful for arthritis, fractures, joint disorders and many musculoskeletal complaints; MRI or CT may be required depending on the suspected diagnosis.

Previous surgical records and implant information are especially important after earlier orthopaedic procedures. The final recommendation may include conservative treatment, further investigation or surgery, but should follow direct review of the patient’s current examination and imaging.
