In recent years, India’s healthcare industry has experienced a technological transformation, especially within the field of orthopedics. Advancements such as 3D imaging, artificial intelligence, robotics, and precision medicine are making orthopedic care more patient-centered, effective, and accessible. Sparsh Hospitals, led by Dr. Sharan Shivaraj Patil, Chairman and Chief Orthopedic Surgeon, is at the forefront of adopting these technologies to transform orthopedic treatment across the country.
A recent report highlighted the growing demand for orthopedic procedures in India, driven by lifestyle changes, road traffic accidents, and an aging population. According to GlobalData, India is projected to account for 13% of the Asia-Pacific orthopedic devices market by 2024, with a compound annual growth rate of around 5% through 2033. This surge is fueled by increasing cases of musculoskeletal conditions, particularly due to an aging population, rising obesity rates, and high accident incidences.
At Sparsh Hospitals, Dr. Patil’s team utilizes cutting-edge technologies like 3D printing, advanced imaging, and robotic assisted surgeries to enhance diagnostic precision and surgical planning. These advancements not only improve patient outcomes but also help younger surgeons quickly master complex procedures. Dr. Patil’s focus on collaboration across industries reflects a broader trend in healthcare, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary efforts to advance medical science.
In addition to technological progress, Sparsh Hospitals remains dedicated to making orthopedic care more affordable and accessible. Dr. Patil is a strong advocate for the “Make in India” initiative, which helps reduce healthcare costs by encouraging local production of medical devices and minimizing dependence on imports. He also stresses the importance of preventive measures, such as road safety initiatives, to reduce trauma cases caused by avoidable injuries.
