Dr. Vinay Kumar Gautam Reviews

A 7-year-old schoolgirl from a rural farming family fell from a mango tree, sustaining a complex supracondylar humerus fracture. Dr. Gautam performed closed reduction with percutaneous pinning under fluoroscopy guidance. The family, initially hesitant about surgery, was reassured by his gentle explanation in Marathi. Full recovery achieved in 6 weeks with no functional limitations.

A 72-year-old retired professor with osteoporosis presented with debilitating spinal compression fractures. Dr. Gautam performed kyphoplasty using a novel cement formulation, incorporating the patient's feedback throughout the procedure. The academic was back to writing research papers within 3 days, calling it 'the most elegant solution to a crumbling infrastructure.'

A 23-year-old professional rock climber suffered a complete rotator cuff tear during a competition. Dr. Gautam designed a minimally invasive arthroscopic repair using biodegradable anchors, then collaborated with a sports physiotherapist to create a climbing-specific rehabilitation program. The athlete returned to elite competition within 9 months, exceeding pre-injury performance levels.

A 45-year-old construction worker from an urban slum presented with chronic osteomyelitis of the tibia following untreated compound fracture. Dr. Gautam performed radical debridement and implemented an innovative antibiotic-loaded cement bead technique. The patient's employer continued wages during the 4-month recovery, a arrangement Dr. Gautam helped negotiate.

An 8-year-old boy with cerebral palsy developed progressive hip subluxation. Dr. Gautam performed femoral osteotomy combined with adductor release, then worked with the family to modify their small apartment for accessibility. The child achieved independent sitting balance for the first time, dramatically improving his quality of life.

A 31-year-old pregnant woman in her third trimester presented with severe carpal tunnel syndrome. Dr. Gautam developed a conservative management protocol using customized wrist splints and ultrasound-guided steroid injections, avoiding surgery until postpartum. She delivered successfully and underwent endoscopic release 3 months later with complete resolution.

A 68-year-old tribal farmer with advanced knee osteoarthritis refused joint replacement due to cultural beliefs. Dr. Gautam performed a high tibial osteotomy using traditional alignment techniques the patient understood from carpentry. The patient walked pain-free with a carved wooden cane he made himself during recovery.

A 17-year-old ballet dancer suffered a Lisfranc injury during rehearsal.

Collaborated with her dance instructor to create a phased return-to-dance protocol over 8 months.

A 52-year-old auto-rickshaw driver presented with neglected Monteggia fracture-dislocation. Dr. Gautam performed ulnar osteotomy with annular ligament reconstruction using a novel tendon graft technique. The hospital's charitable trust covered 80% of costs, and the patient returned to driving within 5 months.

A 12-year-old girl with osteogenesis imperfecta suffered multiple vertebral fractures after minor trauma. Dr. Gautam initiated bisphosphonate therapy and designed a custom thermoplastic thoracolumbar orthosis that allowed normal school activities. Her fractures healed without further collapse, and she continues annual follow-ups.

A 39-year-old software engineer developed cubital tunnel syndrome from prolonged coding sessions. Dr. Gautam performed endoscopic decompression with minimal dissection, then worked with the patient's company to ergonomically redesign his workstation. Full nerve function recovered within 3 months with no recurrence.

An 81-year-old grandmother with dementia fractured her hip in a nursing home fall. Dr. Gautam performed cemented hemiarthroplasty using a anterior approach that minimized muscle damage. The surgical team used pictorial consent forms and involved her granddaughter as healthcare proxy. She was walking with a frame within 48 hours.

A 27-year-old professional musician suffered a complex hand injury in a road accident. Dr. Gautam performed microsurgical reconstruction of flexor tendons and digital nerves, preserving precise finger movements.
