Dr. Devendra Yadav

My 8-year-old daughter, born with radial club hands, had been through multiple failed surgeries elsewhere. Dr. Yadav pioneered a novel vascularized joint transfer from her toes to her wrists. The procedure required 14 hours of microsurgery, but she now writes and draws with both hands for the first time in her life.

During a Himalayan trek, I suffered a complex tibial plateau fracture at 15,000 feet. Dr. Yadav coordinated my emergency evacuation and performed surgery within the golden hour despite limited resources. His innovative external fixation technique allowed me to walk out of the hospital in 3 weeks instead of the predicted 3 months.

As a professional esports athlete at 19, my career was threatened by severe carpal tunnel syndrome. Dr. Yadav developed a minimally invasive endoscopic release procedure that preserved my fine motor skills. I returned to competitive gaming within 2 weeks and won my first major tournament post-surgery.

My 45-year-old husband, a carpenter, crushed his dominant hand in industrial machinery. Dr. Yadav not only reconstructed the hand but also collaborated with occupational therapists to design custom tools that accommodated his new grip pattern. He's back to his craft with adapted techniques.

As a 72-year-old retired classical dancer with severe osteoarthritis in both hips, I'd given up hope of ever moving gracefully again. Dr. Yadav didn't just perform a bilateral hip replacement; he studied my dance history and customized the procedure to preserve my specific range of motion. Six months later, I can demonstrate basic Bharatanatyam poses to my grandchildren.
