Dr. Vineesh Mathur — Director of Orthopaedics in Delhi NCR

Dr. Vineesh Mathur is Director of Orthopaedics at Medanta - The Medicity in Delhi NCR, with more than 30 years of experience across spine surgery and orthopedics.

His list is weighted toward degenerative disease. He performs spinal fusion surgery, disc replacement surgery, laminectomy, endoscopic spine surgery and spinal stenosis surgery, and he also carries out spinal deformity correction and spinal tumour surgery. The conditions named on his profile are cervical and lumbar spondylosis, degenerative disc disease, degenerative spinal stenosis and spondylolisthesis, which is the pattern of a practice built on the ageing spine rather than on trauma.

He holds MBBS, an MS in orthopaedics and the DNB in orthopaedics from the National Board, so his specialist qualification was examined twice.

The research strand on his record is older than the surgical directorship and worth reading on its own. He was an Indian Council of Medical Research Junior Research Fellow in 1987 and an ICMR Research Associate in 1993, two consecutive stages of the council's own research ladder, and in 2002 he held a Rotary Foundation Rotary Visiting Fellowship.

He is a member of the Association of Spine Surgeons of India and of the North American Spine Society. Membership of both a national and a North American body sits alongside a list that includes endoscopic and disc replacement work. He practises at Medanta – The Medicity in Gurugram.
