Surgeon. Team mate.

From captaining my state in field hockey to winning university football championships, from conquering marathons in Chennai, Berlin, and Paris to owning a hockey team and founding a premier league, I’ve lived every beat of sport. I’ve stood beside Olympians, legends, and icons, not just as a fan, but as their surgeon. So when an athlete walks in, I don’t just treat the injury. I understand the dream.

Dr Prakash’s Expertise

  • I specialise in restoring torn ligaments using advanced, minimally invasive techniques designed for your specific knee anatomy and activity level. Each reconstruction is planned to bring back stability, strength, and confidence.
    If your knee feels unstable or gives way, let’s rebuild your movement together.

  • Recurrent shoulder dislocations and labral tears can affect even simple daily tasks. Through keyhole surgery, I help patients regain strength and full motion without long recovery periods.
    If your shoulder keeps slipping out of place, it’s time to fix it for good.

  • Cartilage injuries can cause pain and stiffness that worsen over time. I use biologic and regenerative treatments like scaffolds and growth factors to restore smooth joint surfaces and delay arthritis.
    Don’t ignore early cartilage pain , early repair can protect your joint for years to come.

  • High-impact injuries can damage multiple ligaments at once. My approach focuses on accurate reconstruction and rehabilitation to restore complete knee stability.
    If your knee feels unstable after trauma, let’s plan a structured recovery that brings confidence back.

  • As both a surgeon and former athlete, I understand the mindset of returning to sport after injury. From diagnosis to rehab, I design treatment plans to help you move and perform better than before.
    If an injury is holding you back from your sport, let’s get you back in the game.

  • For irreparable rotator cuff tears, I offer the InSpace balloon procedure a simple arthroscopic implant that reduces pain and improves arm function without open surgery.
    If shoulder pain limits your reach or sleep, this procedure could give you lasting relief.

  • I was among the first in India to introduce synthetic ligament reconstruction for complex ACL and PCL injuries. These advanced systems (like Jewel ACL ™ and InternalBrace) provide strong, durable stability while allowing an early return to daily activities or sport. I use them selectively for patients who need faster recovery without compromising strength.
    If you’re looking for a quicker, lasting way to regain knee stability, synthetic ligament options may be right for you.

Voices of trust & emotion

I’ve never believed in sounding my own trumpet — yet if these voices echo the care, craft, and quiet victories behind every recovery, maybe the music plays itself.
