The Inspiring Story of a World-Renowned Joint Replacement Surgeon Who Dared to ‘Care’ and ‘Cure’

A doctor by profession (M.S. Orthopedics) and a visionary entrepreneur, Dr. Vikram I. Shah is the Founder, Chairman & Managing Director of Shalby Hospitals, headquartered in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India.

Back in the nineties, Dr. Shah realized that there was a dire need to bridge India’s orthopedic treatment gap by making joint replacement and related surgeries easily accessible and affordable to all. With this vision in mind, he acquired professional qualifications- A O Basic from London (UK), F.A.O.A.A. from Switzerland, and F.A. S. I.F from Germany, and returned to India in 1993 to bring international orthopedic expertise to his fellow citizens.

In 1994, Dr. Shah started his own medical center with six beds, one operation theatre, and a small staff in a low-rise building with their residence upstairs. From this humble beginning, his vision expanded, and today, he owns and manages Shalby Hospitals, a chain of 15 hospitals present in 12 Indian cities across 7 states with an aggregate bed capacity of over 2000 beds.

Dr. Shah’s journey to gift mobility to senior citizens of his country has been unstoppable since the day he returned to India. In 2008, he created a world record by performing 3000 joint replacement surgeries. Today, Shalby Multispecialty Hospitals (Shalby Limited) is renowned worldwide for orthopedic treatment and is the largest joint replacement center in the world, with a record of more than 1,50,000 joint replacement surgeries.

Dr. Vikram Shah’s journey is a testimony to the fact that there’s no limit to what one can achieve with hard work, perseverance, and resilience. He is a role model to doctors and medical students of the country who aspire to elevate the level healthcare industry in the country with their expertise and diligence.

Innovations that Made a Difference 

Till the early 90’s Total Knee Replacement Surgery was one of the most dreaded surgeries globally. Dr. Vikram Shah revolutionized this and played a key role in improving and popularizing this surgery in India with his innovation of the OS – Operating Surgeon’s Needle and then of Zero Technique. 

• These innovations reduced surgery time from hours to just 8-10 minutes with the added advantages of minimal blood loss, speedy recovery, near-to-nil infection rate, and reduced hospital stay from 15 days to just 3-4 days. This contributed in easing the pain of millions suffering from joint pain, especially the elderly, improving their quality of life.
• Zero Technique is called so as everything reaches almost to ‘zero’ level, be it surgery time, method, recovery, hospital stay, drugs, blood loss, patient and relatives’ mental stress, etc.

Dr. Vikram Shah invented “OS Needle” (Orthopedic Surgeons’ Needle) which can pass through both bone and soft tissue easily so that an orthopedic surgeon can finish repairing bone and soft tissues quickly.

Exceptional Leadership Initiatives 

• In a span of 30 years, Shalby Hospitals, under the vision of Dr. Vikram I. Shah, has become one of the fastest-growing multi-specialty tertiary hospital chains in India, spread across Western, Central, and Northern India.
• Shah has redefined the concept of modern healthcare and established a chain of multi-specialty hospitals in tier-II and tier-III cities of India for the underprivileged masses.
• Shah pioneered medical tourism in Gujarat and played a vital role in transforming India and Gujarat into a preferred medical tourism destination.
• Shalby Hospitals got listed on BSE/NSE on December 2017

Education & Training

• After a brilliant academic career in school, Dr Vikram secured admission to Byramjee Jeejeebhoy Medical College [B J Medical College] in Ahmedabad. The college was originally founded as Ahmedabad Medical School in 1871.
• After gaining his masters in orthopaedic surgery in 1989 he decided to take advanced training in joint replacement surgery. He worked and trained from 1990 to 1992 with Mr A G Hayes and Mr T U Menon at Ormskirk & Wrightington Hospital, in the United Kingdom. Later he took extensive training in Switzerland and Germany as well.
• Later from 1992 to 1993 he did a fellowship with Dr Brice Brockin at Shelby Medical Centre, Birmingham, Alabama, USA. That stint with Shelby was to have a major influence on him. A few years later when he founded his first hospital, he named it Shalby Orthopaedic Hospital and Research Centre, Ahmedabad.

Expertise & Innovations

• OS Needle: Developed the “OS Needle” which can easily pass through both soft tissue and bone. Before the invention of the OS Needle, surgeons had to use complicated soft tissue procedures in which the failure rate was high.
• Zero Technique: Invented Zero technique, a revolution in surgical history, thereby reducing knee replacement surgery time from one and a half hour in 1994 to 10 minutes in 2012. With this technique patient experiences less pain, zero blood loss and starts walking within 3 hours of Surgery.
