Dr. Manohara Babu K V — Orthopaedic Surgeon in Bengaluru

Dr. Manohara Babu K V is an Orthopaedic Surgeon at Apollo Hospitals on Bannerghatta Road in Bengaluru, with more than 18 years of experience in pediatric orthopedics. His qualifications are MBBS, MS and DNB in orthopaedics, with MRCS from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.

His procedures cover both injury and deformity in children. Pediatric fracture surgery is listed first, and a fracture in a growing bone is a different problem from the same break in an adult, because the growth plate has to survive the repair. Club foot, listed as CTEV and as correction surgery, and developmental dysplasia of the hip are the two conditions treated in infancy. Pediatric scoliosis and scoliosis surgery address the spine, and deformity correction the limbs.

He practises at Apollo Hospitals on Bannerghatta Road in Bangalore, where he has received the Apollo Hospitals annual best management award.

His published work is closely tied to the operations on his list. He has written on flexible intramedullary nailing for diaphyseal fractures of the humerus in the Journal of Orthopaedics in June 2019, on orthopedic musculoskeletal evaluation in adolescents in Clinical Orthop & Surg in May 2023, and on flexor tendon reconstruction using silicone rods in a paediatric retrospective study assessing collagen remodeling and proximal interphalangeal joint outcomes in the Indian J Ortho. He also contributed a chapter to Orthopaedics for Undergraduates, published by Thieme Medical Publisher in June 2005.
