Professional Synopsis:

Dr. Gowtham Chowdary Kankanala is a globally trained Orthopaedic and Joint Replacement Surgeon with over 20 years of experience across India, the UK, Russia, and Bangladesh. His surgical practice is defined by precision, innovation, and a rare ability to manage the entire spectrum of orthopaedic care — from paediatric orthopaedics to complex adult reconstructions.

 

At AIG Hospitals, Banjara Hills, he brings together advanced robotic-assisted techniques, minimally invasive surgeries, orthobiologics, and high-end trauma reconstructions. He is among the very few surgeons in India who can confidently take on pelvi-acetabular trauma, revision joint replacements, and complex fixations that most surgeons defer.

His work balances cutting-edge science with patient-first compassion.
