Partial Knee Replacement (Microplasty)
For early-to-moderate knee arthritis limited to one part of the joint. Only the damaged compartment is replaced, so more of your own knee is preserved and recovery is faster than total replacement.

What I Treat
Areas of Expertise
Conditions and procedures handled across both Ahmedabad clinics, Ghatlodia and Thaltej, from a first painful knee to poly-trauma.
Total Knee & Hip Replacement
For advanced arthritis and joint degeneration. The damaged joint is replaced with an implant matched to your age and activity level, to relieve pain and restore day-to-day movement.
AVN of the Hip
Avascular necrosis, where the head of the hip bone loses blood supply. Joint-preserving options are considered first; replacement is only recommended once the joint has genuinely collapsed.
Sports Injuries & Ligament Tears
Arthroscopic ACL and PCL reconstruction, meniscus repair, and treatment for sportspeople and active individuals returning to full training.
Fracture & Trauma Care
Emergency and planned fracture fixation, including poly-trauma. Available 24×7 at Sattadhar Orthopaedic Hospital.
Shoulder Replacement
For shoulder arthritis and rotator cuff arthropathy, where pain and stiffness have taken overhead and behind-the-back movement away.
What We Offer
Services at the Clinic
Every patient's path is different, but it moves through the same stages: a clear diagnosis, the right treatment for your case, and a recovery plan you can actually follow, at Sattadhar Orthopaedic Hospital or SAL Hospital.
Orthopaedic Consultation
A full assessment of the painful joint, covering history, examination and review of any reports you already have, ending in a plan you understand before you leave.
Joint Replacement Surgery
Partial and total knee replacement, and shoulder and hip replacement, with implant choice matched to your age, activity level and bone quality.
Arthroscopic Keyhole Surgery
ACL and PCL reconstruction and meniscus repair through small incisions, for less soft-tissue damage and a quicker return to load-bearing.
Fracture & Trauma Care
Emergency and planned fracture fixation, including poly-trauma care. Sattadhar Orthopaedic Hospital is open 24 hours for emergencies.
Post-operative Rehabilitation
A structured mobilisation and physiotherapy plan after surgery, so patients regain strength and adjust safely to what's next.
Second Opinion on Surgery
An independent review of advice you've already been given: whether an operation is needed now, can wait, or can be avoided altogether.

Patient Experiences
In Patients' Own Words
Every story here started with pain that got in the way of something: a match, a walk, a good night's sleep. This is how patients describe getting that back, at Sattadhar Orthopaedic Hospital, Ghatlodia and SAL Hospital, Thaltej.
The problem: Complete ACL tear from a cricket injury, with the knee giving way on turns.
I thought my playing days were over. Dr. Bachani looked at my scans and explained exactly what a keyhole repair would and wouldn't fix, with no false promises. The surgery was done in a day, the physiotherapy plan was written out for me week by week, and I was back on the field the same season.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on conditions treated, both clinic locations, timings, insurance and booking: the questions patients actually ask before their first visit.
What conditions does Dr. Darshan Bachani treat?
Dr. Bachani, Sr. Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, treats knee and hip arthritis, avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip, shoulder arthritis and rotator cuff problems, sports injuries including ACL, PCL and meniscus tears, and fractures including poly-trauma. His sub-specialities are joint replacement, minimally invasive surgery, arthroscopy, trauma and spine.
Where does Dr. Bachani consult in Ahmedabad?
Dr. Bachani consults at two locations: Sattadhar Orthopaedic Hospital, APM Mall, Ghatlodia, and SAL Hospital, Doordarshan Tower, Drive In Road, Thaltej.
What are the consulting hours at each clinic?
At Sattadhar Orthopaedic Hospital, Dr. Bachani consults Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM–12:00 PM and 4:00 PM–8:00 PM. At SAL Hospital, Thaltej, consulting hours are Monday to Saturday, 12:00 PM–4:00 PM. Sattadhar Orthopaedic Hospital is open 24 hours for emergencies, independent of these consulting hours.
Are RGHS and CGHS accepted?
Yes. Dr. Bachani's clinics accept RGHS and CGHS, and are empanelled with other major insurance providers. Bring your policy details to your first visit so eligibility can be confirmed before treatment.
How do I book an appointment?
Send your details over WhatsApp or call the clinic directly. For emergencies, Sattadhar Orthopaedic Hospital is open 24 hours.
What's the difference between the Sattadhar and SAL Hospital clinics?
Both are active consulting locations for Dr. Bachani, offering the same range of orthopaedic care. Sattadhar Orthopaedic Hospital, Ghatlodia additionally provides round-the-clock emergency and trauma cover. Choose whichever location and time suits you. The same surgeon sees patients at both.
Is ACL surgery done through keyhole (arthroscopic) surgery?
Yes. ACL and PCL reconstruction is performed arthroscopically through small incisions, which reduces soft-tissue damage and speeds up recovery compared with open surgery.
Do I need a second opinion before agreeing to knee or hip replacement surgery?
If you've been advised to have surgery elsewhere and aren't sure, Dr. Bachani offers independent second opinions, reviewing your scans and history to confirm the recommendation, suggest an alternative, or explain if it can safely wait.
What should I bring to my first consultation?
Bring any existing X-rays, MRI or CT scans, previous prescriptions, and your insurance or RGHS/CGHS card if applicable. This helps avoid repeating tests unnecessarily.
