Dr. Kushal Shah — Consultant in Mumbai

Dr. Kushal Shah is a Consultant at Gleneagles Hospital in Mumbai, with more than 13 years of experience. His profile records orthopedics alongside cosmetic and plastic surgery for hand reconstruction and pediatric orthopedics.

The hand is the whole of his list. He performs carpal tunnel release for carpal tunnel syndrome, hand reconstruction, tendon repair and fracture fixation, and treats trigger finger and Dupuytren's contracture. No joint replacement work appears on his profile, which makes his practice unusually narrow for an orthopaedic surgeon and unusually deep in one region of the body.

He holds an MBBS and completed formal orthopaedic training at Father Muller Medical College under the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences in Karnataka, finishing in 2017.

His three fellowships were each in a different part of hand surgery and each taken under a named surgeon. He trained in plastic, hand and microvascular reconstructive surgery at Ganga Hospital in Coimbatore under Dr. S.R. Sabapathy; in congenital hand, paediatric hand, trauma and brachial plexus surgery at B.J. Wadia Hospital for Children in Mumbai under Dr. M. Thatte; and in hand and wrist trauma and sports-related hand injury at Laud Clinic in Mumbai under Dr. Sudhir Warrier. Between them those three account for the plastic surgery and paediatric specializations on his profile as well as the orthopaedic one.

He has won three conference prizes: best poster at GOSICON 2017 in Bangalore, best e-poster at Oncoorthocon 2018 in Ahmedabad and best paper at ISSHCON 2022 in Jaipur. He practises at Gleneagles Hospital in Parel.
