With over 30 years of surgical experience across premier institutions, Dr. Bhambri has performed thousands of complex orthopaedic procedures, delivering successful outcomes and restoring mobility and quality of life for patients suffering from severe joint disorders, fractures, bone tumours, and musculoskeletal conditions. He is certified as a RoboLens FT-3D Knee Resurfacing Expert & FT-3D Knee Resurfacing Expert along with a Robotic Knee Surgery Specialist, bringing cutting-edge AI-enabled technology to joint replacement surgery in Chandigarh.

Dr. Bhambri has established exceptional expertise in advanced joint replacement procedures including primary knee replacement (total and partial knee arthroplasty for degenerative arthritis), primary hip replacement (comprehensive evaluation and surgical planning using latest techniques), difficult primary joint replacement (complex cases with severe deformity, post-traumatic arthritis, bone deficiency), and revision joint replacement (complex revision surgeries for failed previous replacements addressing loosening, wear, instability, infection, and bone loss using specialized implants and reconstruction techniques).

He is highly skilled in limb reconstruction and oncosurgery including limb reconstruction surgery (corrective osteotomies, external fixation for deformity correction and limb lengthening), limb salvage procedures (preserving limbs in severe trauma and tumour cases), orthopaedic oncosurgery (surgical treatment of benign and malignant bone tumours with tumour excision and reconstruction), and pelvic resection surgery (complex pelvic tumour surgery requiring specialized expertise).

His advanced orthopaedic care encompasses arthroscopy (minimally invasive joint procedures for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes), spine surgery (discectomy, decompression, spinal fusion for degenerative conditions), traumatology (comprehensive trauma care for fractures and polytrauma), revision trauma surgery (correction of fracture malunions and nonunions), and acetabulum & pelvic fracture fixations (complex hip socket and pelvic fracture surgery requiring advanced surgical skills).

His distinguished career includes serving as Chief Resident in Orthopaedics at M.G. Mission Hospital, Navi Mumbai (Feb 1998 – Mar 1999), performing independent fracture fixation, interlocking nailing, spinal surgery exposure, and complex joint procedures; Senior Resident / Clinical Registrar in Orthopaedics & Traumatology (Jul 1999 – Mar 2000 and Apr 2000 – Nov 2001) providing advanced operative management of fractures, joint replacements, and spinal interventions across high volume clinical settings; Consultant and Senior Consultant / Unit Head in Orthopaedic Oncology & Traumatology at Mohan Dai Oswal Cancer Treatment & Research Foundation, Ludhiana (Dec 2001 – Sept 2011), managing musculoskeletal oncology cases, pathological fractures, traumatic injuries, and supervising DNB postgraduate students as thesis co-guide since 2002; HOD & Orthopaedic In Charge at Sangha Hospital, Chandigarh Rd, Ropar (Oct 2011 – Jul 2012), directing orthopaedic department operations, trauma services, and surgical quality standards; Senior Consultant & Head of Limb Reconstruction & Joint Replacement at Shalby Hospital, Ahmedabad (2012 – 2013), leading unit in limb salvage procedures, complex joint reconstruction, and implant selection strategies; Senior Consultant & In Charge, Joint Replacement Unit at Fortis Hospital Mohali (Sept 2013 – Aug 2018), specializing in primary and revision knee and hip arthroplasty whilst implementing enhanced recovery protocols; and currently serving as Director Orthopaedics & Unit Head at Max Multispeciality Hospital, Mohali (Aug 2018 – Present) and Director, Orthopaedics & Joint Replacement – Unit I at Healing Hospital, Chandigarh, leading orthopaedic services including joint replacement, trauma care, reconstructive surgery, complex operative procedures, overseeing clinical protocols, quality improvement, multidisciplinary case management, and mentoring DNB students and junior staff.

Dr. Bhambri has significant academic contributions serving as Thesis Guide for DNB Postgraduate Students at Fortis Hospital Mohali and Max Multispeciality Hospital Mohali, research co-supervision of multiple orthopaedic research projects including unreamed nailing, pathological fractures, metastatic disease management, and limb salvage strategies, and has presented papers and lectures on topics including orthopaedic tumours, arthroplasty in oncology, and modern limb salvage approaches at national and zonal conferences.

Dr. Bhambri specializes in the complete spectrum of orthopaedic conditions including degenerative joint diseases (severe knee osteoarthritis, hip arthritis, shoulder arthritis requiring replacement), failed previous joint replacements (revision surgery for loosening, wear, infection, instability), bone tumours (benign and malignant bone tumours requiring oncosurgery), complex trauma (acetabular fractures, pelvic fractures, complex long bone fractures), limb deformities (post-traumatic deformities, congenital deformities requiring reconstruction), spine disorders (degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis), and musculoskeletal disorders requiring advanced surgical intervention.

His commitment to surgical precision, evidence-based practice, and patient-centered care continues to significantly improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance long-term outcomes for his patients. With three decades of experience and thousands of successful complex procedures, Dr. Bhambri offers patients the most advanced orthopaedic surgical solutions combined with the wisdom and judgment that comes only from extensive clinical experience.

According to Dr. Bhambri, “Modern orthopaedic surgery combines advanced surgical techniques, cutting-edge technology like robotic-assisted surgery, and comprehensive perioperative care to restore mobility, eliminate pain, and transform the quality of life for patients suffering from debilitating musculoskeletal conditions.” 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.
