Dr. Hiren Patel is an Orthopedic Surgeon based in Ahmedabad with 14 years of experience in orthopedic surgery and more than 14,000 surgeries to his clinical experience. His practice focuses on joint replacement, arthroscopy, orthopedic trauma, revision joint replacement, and robotic knee replacement.
He studied at B. J. Medical College, Ahmedabad, and developed his orthopedic practice through clinical experience and advanced training in joint replacement and related orthopedic procedures. His work includes the evaluation and treatment of patients with knee, hip, and shoulder conditions, sports-related injuries, fractures, and failed or previously operated joint replacements.
Education and the Orthopedic Journey
Dr. Hiren Patel studied at B. J. Medical College, Ahmedabad, and pursued his training in orthopedics with a focus on surgical treatment of musculoskeletal conditions.
Over the course of his practice, his work has developed around areas where detailed diagnosis, surgical planning, and appropriate procedure selection are important. This includes primary joint replacement, complex and revision replacement surgery, arthroscopy, trauma and fracture surgery, and treatment of knee and hip arthritis.
Advanced Orthopedic Training in India and Abroad
Dr. Hiren Patel has undertaken advanced orthopedic training at recognized institutions in India and overseas. His international training includes exposure to knee arthroplasty, hip arthroplasty, arthroplasty and shoulder surgery, and related orthopedic techniques.
International Training
- Grenoble University Hospital, Grenoble, France - knee arthroplasty training under Professor Dominique Saragaglia
- Balgrist University Hospital, Zurich, Switzerland - hip arthroplasty training with Professor C. Dora
- Galeazzi Institute of Orthopedics, Milan, Italy - hip arthroplasty training under Professor Luigi Zagra
- St. Mary Catholic Hospital, Seoul, South Korea - arthroplasty and shoulder surgery
Training with Indian Orthopedic Surgeons
His professional training has also included exposure to experienced orthopedic surgeons in India, including:
- Dr. Nilen Shah, Mumbai
- Dr. Mahesh Kulkarni, Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital, Pune
- Dr. Prithvi Mohandas, MIOT International Hospital, Chennai
- Dr. H. P. Bhalodiya, Saviour Hospital, Ahmedabad
This combination of clinical practice and advanced training has contributed to his approach to joint replacement and orthopedic surgery.
Areas of Orthopedic Expertise
Dr. Hiren Patel's clinical practice covers a range of orthopedic surgical conditions and procedures.
Knee Replacement
His knee replacement practice includes total knee replacement, partial or unicondylar knee replacement, and revision knee replacement. Treatment planning depends on the extent of joint damage, symptoms, functional requirements, bone condition, and other patient-specific factors.
Hip Replacement
His hip replacement practice includes primary and complex hip replacement surgery. Conditions such as advanced hip arthritis and avascular necrosis may require assessment for joint replacement when non-surgical treatment is no longer providing adequate relief.
Shoulder Replacement
Shoulder joint replacement is another part of his orthopedic practice. The appropriate procedure depends on the underlying shoulder condition, joint damage, bone quality, and the function that needs to be restored.
Revision Joint Replacement
Revision surgery is different from a first-time joint replacement. A failed or previously operated knee, hip, or shoulder replacement may involve problems such as implant wear or loosening, bone loss, instability, infection, or other mechanical complications. Revision planning therefore requires assessment of the existing implant and the condition of the surrounding bone and soft tissues.
Arthroscopy
His practice also includes arthroscopic procedures for selected knee and shoulder conditions, including sports-related and ligament or cartilage injuries.
Orthopedic Trauma and Fracture Surgery
Orthopedic trauma care includes the assessment and surgical treatment of fractures, dislocations, and other significant musculoskeletal injuries. Treatment is selected according to the location and pattern of the injury, stability, soft-tissue condition, and the patient's overall clinical situation.
Robotic Knee Replacement
Robotic technology is used as part of knee replacement planning and surgery when it is appropriate for the individual patient.
At PMG Hospital, Dr. Hiren Patel works with the ROSA robotic system for robotic knee replacement. The role of robotic assistance is to support surgical planning and execution by helping with measurements, alignment assessment, and implant positioning.
Robotic assistance does not replace the surgeon's clinical judgment. Patient selection, diagnosis, surgical planning, and intraoperative decisions remain important parts of the procedure.
TriNova Knee Replacement Approach
For knee replacement, Dr. Hiren Patel has developed the TriNova approach around three elements:
- Robotic operation
- Subvastus approach
- Tourniquet-less surgery
TriNova is specifically associated with knee replacement and should not be presented as an approach for hip or shoulder replacement.
The suitability of these techniques depends on the individual patient's condition and surgical requirements.
Experience in Revision and Complex Orthopedic Surgery
Some orthopedic cases require more than a standard first-time procedure. Previous surgery, altered anatomy, bone loss, implant-related problems, infection, or significant trauma can make treatment planning more complex.
Dr. Hiren Patel's practice includes revision joint replacement and complex orthopedic surgery, with attention to understanding the underlying problem before deciding on the surgical plan.
Sharing Orthopedic Knowledge and Training
Alongside his clinical work, Dr. Hiren Patel has been involved in professional knowledge sharing and orthopedic training.
His experience includes learning from orthopedic specialists in India and internationally and applying that exposure to his own surgical practice. Where formally documented training or teaching programs are applicable, these can be presented as part of his professional contribution to orthopedic education.
Developer note: The current source material documents Dr. Hiren Patel's own international fellowships/training. It does not clearly document an official program in which he awards fellowships to doctors worldwide. Therefore, avoid the unqualified claim “fellowship given to doctors worldwide” unless the hospital provides official documentation or a named program.
A Patient-Specific Approach to Orthopedic Surgery
Orthopedic surgery is not the same for every patient. The appropriate treatment can depend on the diagnosis, severity of joint damage, age, activity level, bone and soft-tissue condition, previous procedures, and overall health.
Dr. Hiren Patel's approach is to assess the individual problem before deciding whether treatment should involve medication, physiotherapy, injections, lifestyle changes, arthroscopy, joint replacement, revision surgery, or another orthopedic procedure.
For joint replacement, this means considering the patient's condition and functional needs rather than selecting a procedure only because it is technologically advanced.
PMG Hospital and His Role as Director
Dr. Hiren Patel is the Director and Head Joint Replacement Surgeon at PMG Hospital, an NABH-certified orthopedic hospital in Ahmedabad.
His role at the hospital is closely connected with the development of orthopedic and joint replacement services, including knee, hip, and shoulder replacement, revision surgery, arthroscopy, trauma care, and robotic knee replacement.

Dr. Hiren Patel's professional memberships include:
- Indian Society of Hip and Knee Surgeons (ISHKS)
- Indian Medical Association (IMA)
- Indian Orthopaedic Association (IOA)
- Gujarat Orthopaedic Association (GOA)

Consultation and Second Opinion
Patients may seek an orthopedic consultation for persistent joint pain, reduced mobility, sports injuries, fractures, arthritis, or questions about a recommended surgery.
A second opinion can also help patients understand the diagnosis, available treatment options, surgical indications, and what a proposed procedure involves before making a treatment decision.
