The short version
Two decades rebuilding spines.
wenty years after the first orthopaedic rotation at NITOR, the work has narrowed to one thing: the spinal column, and what it takes to make a damaged one hold again. Six qualifications, eight international fellowships, and a practice built on operations most units in the region do not attempt.
The training happened in Delhi, Birmingham, Coimbatore, Sapporo, Singapore, Seoul, Shenzhen, Denver, Toronto and New York. The practice happens in Dhaka.

Fellowships, 2003–2024
Ten stops. One discipline.
From a first fellowship in New Delhi to teaching on the faculty that trained him. Every stop added a technique that is now used in a Dhaka operating theatre.
In the literature
Published. Presented. Cited.
Sixteen peer-reviewed papers and forty-seven oral presentations, from a 582-case tuberculosis series to vertebral column resection outcomes.

What he treats
What gets corrected in clinic.
Six areas of spinal work, from deformity correction to the back pain that never needs an operation.
Scoliosis & deformity correction
Single-stage posterior vertebral column resection for rigid and severe kyphotic deformity, and pedicle screw-rod correction for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
28PVCR case series presented at Global Spine Congress 2024
Minimally invasive spine surgery
Disc disease and canal stenosis through smaller incisions, so recovery starts sooner and the muscle envelope stays intact.
Spine TB, tumour & infection
Tuberculosis of the spine remains the region's defining spinal disease. The management algorithm used here was built on a 582-case multicentre series.
582Multicentre tuberculosis series, Journal of Spine Surgery
Trauma & paralysis
Cervical and thoracolumbar injury, where the window between injury and decompression decides how much function comes back.
103Patient cervical series, 20th APOA Congress
Degenerative spine
Spondylolisthesis, canal stenosis and nerve root pain — the everyday load of a spine clinic, treated with the least intervention that works.
Back & neck pain
Most backs never need an operation. Non-operative pathways come first, and the surgical conversation only starts when they run out.
