Renowned Orthopaedic Surgeon Dr. Nimrod Snir Visits CARE Hospitals, Visakhapatnam

Visakhapatnam: In a major step toward advancing high-precision joint replacement and robotic orthopaedic care in Eastern India, CARE Hospitals, Visakhapatnam, hosted internationally acclaimed Israeli orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Nimrod Snir, Director of the Adult Reconstruction Unit at Tel Aviv Medical Center, Israel. The visit was part of a focused knowledge exchange program designed to enhance clinical expertise, surgical precision, and exposure to international best practices. CARE is among the few centres in India engaging with international arthroplasty leaders for structured knowledge exchange, reaffirming its commitment to global learning.

A globally respected specialist in hip and knee reconstruction and sports medicine, Dr. Snir holds dual fellowships in Adult Reconstruction and Sports Medicine Surgery from NYU Langone’s Hospital for Joint Diseases. With 47 peer-reviewed publications, over 50 international presentations, and leadership roles in major orthopaedic associations, he is widely recognized for expertise in complex joint replacement and revision surgeries.

During his visit, Dr. Snir observed a knee replacement surgery at CARE Hospitals, studying the surgical workflow and operative precision. He shared practical recommendations and technical suggestions, commending the surgical team’s accuracy, efficiency, and professionalism. After postoperative patient assessments, he expressed satisfaction with recovery outcomes and appreciated the hospital’s robust rehabilitation protocols.

With a rapidly growing burden of knee and hip arthritis in Andhra Pradesh and Eastern India, the knowledge exchange provided valuable exposure to advanced techniques and global clinical decision-making approaches. Dr. Snir also conducted outpatient consultations for patients with osteoarthritis, ligament injuries, and complex joint disorders, enabling CARE’s medical team to learn from his international experience.

In interactive discussions with CARE Hospitals’ orthopaedic team — Dr. Ravi Chandra, Dr. Raghu, and others — Dr. Snir shared insights on modern joint replacement technologies, minimally invasive procedures, and global advancements in arthroplasty. He noted that CARE Hospitals’ Orthopaedic Department is “on par with any world-class setup,” praising its clinical standards, infrastructure, and patient-focused approach. He added that the hospital’s high surgical volume creates a strong foundation for learning and clinical growth.

Commenting on the program, Dr. Ravi Chandra, Senior Orthopedic and Robotic Surgeon, CARE Hospitals, Visakhapatnam, said, “Dr. Snir’s visit has offered tremendous learning for our orthopaedic team. His expertise in complex joint replacement and revision surgery supports our ongoing focus on precision-based robotic orthopaedics and improved rehabilitation outcomes. This kind of international knowledge exchange strengthens our ability to deliver faster recovery, reduced pain, and advanced care for joint replacement patients.”

Mr. Sukesh Reddy, Chief Operating Officer, CARE Hospitals, Visakhapatnam, said, “Visakhapatnam is rapidly emerging as an international destination for advanced orthopaedic and robotic surgery. This high-impact medical exchange reinforces our commitment to world-class clinical outcomes and advanced surgeon training. We are actively exploring fellowship opportunities, surgeon exchange programs, and collaborative research that will elevate orthopaedic education and innovation.”

Dr. Snir’s visit marks an important educational engagement for CARE Hospitals. The shared surgical insights, case discussions, and clinical perspectives gained through this exchange are expected to strengthen orthopaedic capabilities in Visakhapatnam.

CARE Hospitals Visakhapatnam is now evaluating structured orthopaedic fellowship programs, international observership pathways, and academic initiatives to enhance expertise in robotic joint replacement and complex reconstruction surgeries.
