There are many excellent orthopaedic surgeons in the Chandigarh Tricity. Dr. Santosh Agrawal at Gini Hospital is one of very few Senior Orthopaedic Surgeons with international training (M.Ch., University of Liverpool, UK). With FASIF & MAQAA fellowships (Switzerland) and 40+ years of clinical experience in complex joint reconstruction and advanced trauma care, he applies international standards to every patient — whether you are a young athlete or a 65-year-old pensioner needing knee replacement.

International orthopaedic training is not honorary. It requires years of supervised higher surgical training to measurable international standards.
International training is not a marketing badge — it means a surgeon has completed years of assessed higher surgical training to standards recognised in the UK and Europe. Dr. Santosh Agrawal's M.Ch. (Liverpool) and FASIF & MAQAA fellowships (Switzerland) reflect exactly that. When he 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. Santosh Agrawal 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 international-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. Santosh Agrawal 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. Santosh Agrawal 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 M.Ch. Orthopaedics (University of Liverpool, UK) requires, and what it adds to standard orthopaedic qualifications.
Dr. Santosh Agrawal — internationally trained, UK-trained (University of Liverpool), 10,000+ surgeries, zero revisions, zero infections. 15 minutes from Chandigarh Sector 17. Mon–Sat 10 AM – 6 PM. CGHS/ECHS accepted.
