Biography

Dr. Nishant Setia is a distinguished Senior Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Healing Hospital, Chandigarh, specializing in Advanced Joint Replacement, RoboLens FT 3D Knee Resurfacing, Sports Injuries, and Advanced Trauma Care. He is the founder and pioneer of AI-enabled RoboLens FT 3D Knee Resurfacing technology in North India at Healing Hospital, bringing cutting-edge, minimally invasive joint replacement technology to the region.

Dr. Setia completed his MBBS from the prestigious Pt. Bhagwat Dayal Sharma Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (PGIMS), Rohtak in 2009, where he developed a strong foundation in clinical medicine and surgical principles. He pursued his postgraduate specialization earning his MS in Orthopaedics from PGIMS, Rohtak in 2014, gaining comprehensive training in all aspects of orthopaedic surgery, trauma management, and musculoskeletal disorders.

His quest for advanced expertise in joint replacement and sports injuries led him to pursue multiple prestigious fellowships. He completed a Fellowship in Arthroplasty (Joint Replacement) at Martha Maria Hospital, Halle, Germany, with special focus on the Anterolateral Approach for Total Hip Replacement to minimize dislocation risk—training under European orthopaedic masters and gaining international exposure to advanced joint replacement techniques. He further enhanced his skills through Fellowship in Shoulder Arthroscopy and Sports Injuries at Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital, Pune under the renowned Dr. Ashish Babhulkar, Deputy Observership at Shalby Hospital, Ahmedabad under Dr. Vikram Shah—one of India’s leading joint replacement surgeons, and Short-Term Fellowship in Arthroscopy (Sports Injuries) at Ortho One Hospital, Coimbatore, making him one of the most comprehensively trained joint replacement and sports injury surgeons in the region.

Dr. Setia holds advanced certifications including FIAS (Fellowship of Indian Arthroplasty Society) and FIJS (Fellowship in Joint Surgery, Germany), demonstrating his specialized expertise and international recognition in joint replacement surgery.

With over 15 years of surgical experience, Dr. Setia has established exceptional expertise in state-of-the-art RoboLens FT 3D Knee Resurfacing (AI-enabled robotic-assisted knee replacement technology providing personalized, precise bone cuts and optimal implant positioning for superior outcomes and faster recovery), advanced joint replacement procedures (comprehensive evaluation and surgical planning for degenerative joint diseases), partial knee replacement (unicompartmental knee arthroplasty for localized arthritis), total hip replacement surgery (primary and revision hip replacements using anterolateral approach), shoulder and elbow replacement surgery (total shoulder arthroplasty, reverse shoulder replacement, elbow arthroplasty), and comprehensive sports medicine.

He is highly skilled in arthroscopic procedures including knee arthroscopic surgery (minimally invasive keyhole surgery for knee conditions), arthroscopic ACL reconstruction (anterior cruciate ligament repair for sports injuries), arthroscopic meniscus repair (preserving knee cartilage), arthroscopic multiligament surgery (complex knee ligament reconstruction for PCL, MCL, LCL injuries), arthroscopic cartilage repair surgery (microfracture, osteochondral grafting), shoulder arthroscopic surgery (minimally invasive shoulder procedures), arthroscopic repair for shoulder dislocation (Bankart repair, capsular labral reconstruction), and arthroscopic repair for rotator cuff tear (shoulder tendon repair for pain and weakness).

His distinguished career includes serving as Senior Resident at Pt. B.D. Sharma PGIMS, Rohtak (completing three years residency plus one year senior residency), Visiting Arthroplasty Surgeon at Max Hospital, Mohali, Senior Resident at Government Multi-Specialty Hospital (GMSH), Sector 16, Chandigarh, Assistant Professor at Adesh Medical College, Ambala (teaching and training postgraduate students), Attending Consultant at QRG Hospital, Faridabad, Consultant Orthopaedics at Indus Hospital and My Hospital, Mohali, and Senior Consultant Orthopaedics and Joint Replacement at Paras Health, Panchkula, gaining extensive experience across premier institutions.

Dr. Setia specializes in the complete spectrum of orthopaedic conditions including degenerative joint diseases (knee osteoarthritis, hip arthritis, shoulder arthritis), sports injuries (ACL tears, meniscus tears, rotator cuff tears, shoulder dislocations, ligament injuries), complex trauma (fractures, polytrauma, pelvic injuries), joint deformities (bowleg, knock-knee, hip dysplasia), and musculoskeletal disorders requiring surgical intervention.

His commitment to surgical precision, academic excellence, and patient-centered care continues to significantly improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance long-term outcomes for his patients. By introducing AI-enabled RoboLens FT 3D Knee Resurfacing technology to North India, Dr. Setia has revolutionized knee replacement surgery in the region, offering patients the most advanced, personalized, and precise joint replacement solutions available globally.

According to Dr. Setia, “Modern joint replacement surgery combines cutting-edge technology like AI-enabled robotics with surgical expertise to restore mobility, eliminate pain, and transform the quality of life for patients suffering from debilitating joint diseases.” He is surgically very sound and believes in ethical practice with evidence-based treatment for his patients. He makes sure that his patients and families are fully aware of their orthopaedic conditions, surgical options, implant choices, recovery expectations, and rehabilitation protocols, and goes the extra mile in educating them about joint health, preventive care, and long-term outcomes from conservative management to advanced surgical interventions, ensuring informed decision-making at every step.
