Meet Dr Aditya Khemka, an orthopaedic surgeon and one of the very few doctors in India and the world specialising in osseointegration, who has given so many patients a renewed zest for life.
AN ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON SPECIALISING in hip, knee, trauma and osseointegration surgery, Dr Khemka is a research scholar at the University of Notre Dame, Australia and has a keen interest in ‘Revision Hip and Knee Arthroplasty’, especially total/partial femur replacements. After working with some of the world’s best institutions and hospitals, he now is back in India and looks forward to transforming many lives.
The beginning
Originally from Fatehpur, Rajasthan, Aditya Khemka’s father, Sanjay Khemka, came from Kolkata to Mumbai in the 1980s to start a power plant business. He consulted for companies abroad and shipped heavy electrical machinery such as actuators and valves, needed for large power plants.
Born and brought up in South Mumbai, Khemka studied at the city’s Greenlawns High School, securing a whopping 93 per cent in the 10th Standard. He then joined Jai Hind College, aspiring to get into MBBS, and then set his sights on the coveted CET rank. His hard work paid off at the end of two years when he secured a seat at K J Somaiya Medical College and Research Centre. The next five years were a breeze.
But why did he not join the family business? In reply, Dr Khemka says, “Business never ignited a spark in me; it gave me a sense of ‘mundane-ness’. I was always inspired by my maternal grandfather, Dr H R Jhunjhunwala, a prominent orthopaedic surgeon in Mumbai. His demeanour, his white coat, his tools and the respect he got for all the work he did, excited me. The timings and the hard work, as was often reminded about by my mother, never bothered me.”
