DR. SHIVAKUMAR YS

Dr. Shivakumar Y.S is a seasoned orthopaedic surgeon in Bengaluru with over 17 years of experience in trauma and reconstructive orthopaedics. He is currently practising as a Consultant – Orthopaedics at Manipal Hospital, Varthur Road – Whitefield, Bangalore, with focused expertise in complex trauma, joint replacement, spine surgery, and advanced reconstructive orthopaedic procedures. He completed his MBBS from Bangalore Medical College, Bangalore University, followed by an M.S. in Orthopaedics from KMC, Hubli, Karnataka University. His early clinical years were rooted in intensive trauma exposure, including accident and emergency care, inpatient orthopaedic management, and progressive surgical responsibility. During his postgraduate training, he independently performed wound debridement, external fixation, fracture fixation using AO techniques, hemiarthroplasty of the hip, and managed polytrauma and infected orthopaedic cases.

His surgical scope includes long bone fracture fixation using interlocking and reconstruction nails, management of intra-articular fractures, pelvic and acetabular fracture fixation through anterior and posterior approaches, and complex spinal trauma care. He performs spinal decompression and stabilisation using transpedicular screw fixation, discectomies, scoliosis correction, and decompression with fusion procedures. Regular hip and knee arthroplasties, including complex primary and revision surgeries, form a significant part of his orthopaedic practice. His expertise further extends to osteotomies around the hip, PFN nailing, minimally invasive percutaneous procedures, arthroscopic ACL reconstructions, rotator cuff repairs, and deformity correction in cerebral palsy and poliomyelitis. He has undergone arthroscopy training under Dr. David Rajan, President of the Arthroscopic Society of India, strengthening his capabilities in ligament and shoulder procedures. His depth in pelvic, acetabular, spine, and joint reconstruction establishes him among the best orthopaedic surgeons in Varthur Road, Bangalore, particularly for high-acuity trauma and complex reconstructive orthopaedics.

Dr. Shivakumar’s academic engagement includes a dissertation on the conservative management of closed diaphyseal fractures of the tibia in adults. He has attended multiple national and international instructional courses in spine surgery, shoulder surgery, hip and knee arthroplasty, and minimally invasive spine techniques. His publication on the functional outcome of surgical management of acetabular fractures by internal fixation reflects his focused work in complex pelvic trauma.

He speaks English, Hindi, and Kannada. Patients value his steady clinical judgement, especially in complex trauma and revision joint cases where clarity of surgical planning and long-term rehabilitation pathways are crucial. His approach reflects continuity of care, careful preoperative assessment, and structured postoperative follow-up. This sustained involvement in trauma, arthroplasty, and spine surgery reinforces his standing as one of the best orthopaedic surgeons in Varthur Road for complex musculoskeletal conditions.
