RESEARCH & TEACHING

The work behind the practice - research, teaching, and the surgeons I train

Good joint replacement does not stand still. A real part of my time goes into the parts a patient rarely sees - studying what works, publishing it, and teaching it to other surgeons here and abroad. This page is that record, for the colleagues, trainees, and referrers who want to look closer.

MAKO Robotic Proctor and Trainer
Dr Mahajan in the operating theatre

I work with the MAKO robotic platform for joint replacement, and I proctor and train other surgeons moving into robotic joint replacement. Max Smart Super Speciality Hospital, Saket is a robotic-surgery training and education centre.

Proctoring means an experienced surgeon supervises another surgeon's first robotic cases - standing with them in theatre until the technique is safely their own.

Peer-reviewed publications

The questions that come up in theatre are worth answering in print. My published work runs across the areas I operate in most, in peer-reviewed journals.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on arthroplasty services

Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics and Trauma, 2021

The aim of this study is to assess the impact of Covid-19 crisis on hip and knee joint replacement surgeries at a high volume tertiary care hospital in the Indian National Capital Region and to evaluate the early experience of resumption of arthroplasty services.

Active research projects

Some questions are still open. These are the studies I have running now - work in progress, not finished answers.

ONGOING

Accuracy of MAKO robotic TKA in achieving alignment under the functional-alignment principle.

ONGOING

Joint-line restoration in primary TKA: conventional versus robotic-assisted - a prospective comparative study.

ONGOING

Reverse coronal-plane deformity and its implications in robotic TKA.

Book chapters

Beyond journals, I have contributed chapters to medical textbooks - the references other surgeons reach for.

The SMART Conclave

Once a year, I bring the field together. The SMART Conclave is an annual meeting on hip and knee arthroplasty that I organise and chair - faculty and delegates from across India and beyond.

Highlights
ARTHROVISION 2025: Advancing Arthroplasty Through Visual Insights. Known as an "arthroplasty film festival" - built on video lectures and live-surgery films rather than didactic talks - held under the aegis of the Indian Arthroplasty Association and the Delhi Orthopaedic Association.
Community leadership

Building the field is not only research and teaching - it is the bodies that hold the profession together. I helped found a regional arthroplasty association and hold executive roles across several orthopaedic societies.

ROLES

Founder member, Delhi Arthroplasty Association (DAA)

Executive member, Indian Arthroplasty Association (IAA)

Executive member, Delhi Orthopaedic Association

Immediate past president, South Delhi Orthopaedic Society

Organising Chairman, SMART Conclave

MEMBERSHIPS
