Mohali, November 23:
Shalby Hospital Mohali hosted Dr Harbinder Singh Chadha, a distinguished orthopedic surgeon from the United States, for an interactive academic session with orthopedic specialists. Dr Chadha, who has over two decades of experience in adult reconstruction and joint replacement, is Board-Certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery and currently serves as Chief of Surgery at Sharp Chula Vista Hospital, California.
During the session, Dr Chadha shared insights on recent advances in total knee replacement, highlighting the growing role of precision-guided surgical techniques and high-performance implant materials. The discussion aimed to increase public awareness about modern treatment options for severe knee arthritis and the importance of choosing long-lasting implant solutions.
A key focus of the programme was the introduction of Duraniom-Gold knee implants in India. These next-generation implants feature TiNbN (Titanium-Nitride-Niobium) coating, a technology that enhances implant durability, reduces wear, and supports smoother joint movement. Experts noted that TiNbN-coated implants offer better biocompatibility and corrosion resistance, potentially improving long-term outcomes for patients.
Dr Pradeep Aggarwal, Chairman, Orthopedics & Joint Replacement at Shalby Hospital Mohali, said the exchange of global perspectives strengthens the science behind joint replacement. He added that advanced implant solutions with TiNbN coating underline the move towards improved longevity and patient comfort.
Dr G S Natt, Director, Orthopedics & Joint Replacement, said that technologies like the Duraniom-Gold implant represent the future of joint replacement, offering enhanced wear resistance and durability. These innovations, he said, help patients regain mobility and resume active living with greater confidence.
Mr Gladwin Sandeep Nayyar, Chief Administrative Officer, said Shalby Hospital Mohali remains committed to bringing advanced orthopedic technologies to the region. He added that the hospital’s focus continues to be on safer procedures, faster recovery and stronger functional outcomes.
Shalby Hospital Mohali reaffirmed its commitment to orthopedic innovation, international collaboration and raising public awareness on advanced treatment options.
