I, Dr Vinay DJ would first like to express my gratitude to Dr. Pushpinder Bajaj sir for giving me the opportunity to pursue this fellowship under the guidance of Dr. Bhushan Nariani sir at BLK-MAX hosipital.

It has been a truly enriching experience to be part of Dr. Bhushan sir’s joint replacement team, where I was able to enhance my skills in the field of arthroplasty. During the three month tenure, i had adequate exposure to complex hip and knee joint replacements, including variety of revision implants and their usage along with primary joint replacement surgeries. I am deeply thankful to Shivam sir and Suryakanth sir, whose vast knowledge, experience, and guidance have been invaluable to me. The constant intraoperative brainstorming sessions with them inspired me to chase excellence rather than settle for mediocrity, and I feel fortunate to have had them as my mentors.

The way Dr. Bhushan sir manages patients—from the outpatient department to follow ups—is an art in itself and a lesson for every young surgeon. Despite the long working hours, each day was a new learning experience, and I truly enjoyed every moment of it. I would highly recommend this fellowship to young surgeons who want to polish their knowledge and skills in hip and knee arthroplasty.
