About · The surgeon
A record earned, not declared.
Dr. Vikram L is an orthopaedic surgeon in Mysuru whose work centres on joint replacement, complex trauma, and sports injuries. What follows is his training and approach, set out plainly.
The story
From a gold medal to a focused practice
Dr. Vikram's training began with distinction: he graduated as a Gold Medalist from BJ Medical College, Pune, and went on to complete his MS and DNB in Orthopaedics, becoming a Member of the National Academy of Medical Sciences.
He then sought out focused training in the areas he cares most about. A fellowship in joint replacement at Max, Delhi, was followed by a fellowship in Germany in arthroscopy, deformity correction, and complex trauma — the demanding cases that ask the most of a surgeon. A Diploma in FIFA Football Medicine and completion of the AO Trauma course round out a practice that spans the everyday and the difficult.
Today he consults and operates in Mysuru, where the work is the same whether the patient is an athlete or a grandparent: listen first, explain plainly, and recommend surgery only when it is genuinely the right step.

Philosophy of care
The work begins with listening. Most patients arrive worried, and they want to be understood before they are treated. I try to explain the problem plainly, weigh whether surgery is genuinely the right step, and recommend it only when it is. The aim is an honest decision and a recovery worth documenting.
