Specialist Orthopaedic Oncologist – Limb salvage procedures

Dr. Srinath Gupta is an Orthopaedic Oncologist practicing in Hyderabad, India. He is currently - Consultant Orthopaedic Oncology at the prestigious Basavatarakam Indo American Cancer Hospital and Research Institute, Hyderabad.

He is the first surgeon from the twin states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh to have formally completed HBNI Fellowship training in Orthopaedic Oncology.

He has over 8 years’ experience in surgical departments at leading hospital across India. Following his Post Graduation in Orthopaedics, he worked at world renowned Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai-the largest referral centre for cancer care in India for a period of 3 years, during which he did his HBNI Fellowship in Orthopaedic Oncology.

His current field of interest is bone and soft tissue tumors involving the upper limbs, lower limbs, pelvis and spine. He is formally trained in limb salvage surgeries involving the extremities and performs a wide range of surgeries and biological reconstructions such as curettage and bone cement/bone graft reconstructions, rotationplasty, cryosurgery (limb salvage using liquid Nitrogen), extra corporeal radiation therapy (killing the tumor cells using radiation and placing the bone back into the body), megaprosthetic replacement of shoulder, elbow, hip, distal femur, proximal tibia and buddy bone transfers involving the forearm, leg and nail cement spacers of the upper limb and lower limb with primary aim of complete oncological clearance of the tumor followed by optimal reconstruction to give the patients the best possible functional outcome.

Sarcomas are rare tumors and an integrated multidisciplinary clinic and team with a structured sarcoma tumor board facilitate team coordination and communication. Dr Srinath Gupta and his team have a close co-operation and decision making to optimize the outcome.

Apart from management of primary bone tumors, he is an expert in treatment of patients with cancer involving other organs of the body which have metastasized to the bones – providing them with pain free solutions and bone strengthening.

He has multiple publications in International and National journals with a particular interest in research and refinement of the existing surgical principles.
