Role you're checking

Orthopedic Surgeon

Healthcare

Orthopedic Surgeons in India operate on the musculoskeletal system — bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and spine — spanning emergency trauma (road-traffic accidents, falls, sports injuries) and elective surgery (TKR, THR, ACL reconstruction, spinal fusion). The Indian path is MBBS plus MS Orthopaedics (3 years) via NEET-PG, with premier seats at AIIMS Delhi, PGIMER Chandigarh, MAMC, KEM Mumbai, CMC Vellore, KGMU Lucknow, and JIPMER. Sub-specialization in arthroplasty (TKR/THR), spine (PLIF, TLIF), sports medicine, or paediatric orthopaedics via a 1-2 year fellowship at institutions like AIIMS or Apollo Hospitals dramatically reshapes income potential — arthroplasty and spine subspecialists at Apollo, Fortis, Max, and Manipal are among the highest-earning clinicians in India. The daily mix of trauma-call urgency and elective precision surgery makes orthopaedics one of the most technically demanding and physically demanding surgical specialties.
