There are many excellent orthopaedic surgeons in the Chandigarh Tricity. Dr. Harjoban Singh at Gini Hospital is the only FIFA-approved orthopaedic surgeon. FIFA approval is not a marketing claim — it is a certification that a surgeon meets the international standards required to treat elite professional athletes. Those standards are applied to every patient Dr. Harjoban Singh treats, whether you are a professional cricketer or a 65-year-old pensioner needing knee replacement.

FIFA approval for orthopaedic surgeons is not honorary. It requires meeting specific, measurable international criteria.
FIFA approval does not make a surgeon "good at treating footballers." It means a surgeon has been assessed and certified as meeting international standards for musculoskeletal care — standards derived from treating the most demanding patients in the world: elite professional athletes. When Dr. Harjoban Singh operates on a Chandigarh pensioner's knee, those are the standards applied.
The measure of an orthopaedic surgeon is not the number of surgeries performed but the outcomes. At Gini, Dr. Harjoban Singh has recorded zero revision surgeries and zero post-operative infections.
A revision surgery means the first surgery failed — the implant was misaligned, the repair broke down, or complications required reoperation. Zero means it has never happened here.
A post-operative infection after joint replacement is one of the most serious complications in surgery — it can require removal of the entire implant and months of antibiotic treatment. Zero infections. Every time. Zero times compromised.
From primary sports injuries to complex joint replacements — with the same FIFA-standard precision applied to every case.
At Gini, we treat surgery as the last option, not the first. For every knee and shoulder presentation, we explore physiotherapy, PRP, injections, and rehabilitation before recommending surgery. This approach saves many patients from operations they don't need.
Many patients arrive at Gini having been told they need surgery immediately. In a significant proportion of these cases, Dr. Harjoban Singh identifies that non-surgical treatment has not been properly attempted — and initiates a structured conservative programme first. Surgery is recommended only when non-surgical options have genuinely been exhausted or are clearly inappropriate for the condition.
Save the Knee Programme →Every patient Dr. Harjoban Singh treats receives the same international standard of care. Here is who Gini sees from across Chandigarh and the Tricity.
This is not a comparative claim against any named surgeon. It is a factual description of what FIFA certification requires, and what it adds to standard orthopaedic qualifications.
