I stepped into the reception area of Opera Bone and Joint Clinic, notebook and recorder in hand — ready to meet Dr. Ponnanna K.M, and observe first-hand the workings of a reputed Orthopedic Clinic in Bangalore. In those opening minutes, I sensed the calm professionalism of the place — a space designed not just for consultations, but comprehensive orthopedic care, thanks to Dr. Ponnanna’s training and vision.

Who is Dr. Ponnanna K.M — Qualifications & Expertise

Dr. Ponnanna K.M is a highly trained orthopedic surgeon. He completed his Master of Surgery (MS) in Orthopaedics from SDM College of Medical Sciences and Hospital in 2015, under the aegis of Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences. In the same year, he also earned his DNB (Diplomate of National Board) in Orthopaedics.

Not stopping at domestic training, Dr. Ponnanna K.M undertook advanced fellowships: a fellowship in Adult Reconstruction Surgery — focusing on shoulder, hip, and knee — under the mentorship of noted specialists in Pune. Further, his international exposure includes fellowships under the Australian Orthopaedic Association (AOA) in Sydney, covering sports medicine, arthroscopy, and joint replacement for shoulder, elbow, knee, hip — including robotic and computer-navigated joint surgery.

This broad training — domestically and abroad — positions Dr. Ponnanna K.M as a capable and versatile surgeon, adept at handling a wide range of orthopedic conditions: from sports injuries to complex joint replacements.

Clinic Environment, Setup & Scope of Care

During my visit, I observed that Opera Bone and Joint Clinic offers a clean, patient-friendly setting in the Malleswaram area of Bangalore. The clinic offers more than just consultations: on-site X-ray, fracture care, dressings, suture removal, and physiotherapy — ensuring continuity of care from diagnosis to rehabilitation.

For surgical interventions — especially advanced procedures such as joint replacements — Dr. Ponnanna K.M works in affiliation with a hospital equipped with modern orthopedic theatres, robotics or computer-assisted navigation systems, and access to robust post-operative care and rehabilitation services.

Given this blend of diagnostic facilities, conservative care, advanced surgical setups, and post-operative rehabilitation, the clinic represents a comprehensive Orthopedic Clinic in Bangalore — capable of addressing a wide spectrum of bone and joint conditions.

What Patients Can Expect — Benefits & Risks of Treatment

Benefits

Under Dr. Ponnanna K.M’s care, patients benefit from:

• Modern, advanced surgical options: Robotic-assisted and computer-navigated surgeries for hip, knee, shoulder replacements; minimally invasive arthroscopy for joints — offering precise interventions with potentially shorter recovery times.
• Comprehensive care continuum: From diagnosis (X-ray, imaging) to non-surgical management (physiotherapy, joint preservation) and, when needed, surgical intervention followed by rehab — all coordinated under one umbrella.
• Specialist knowledge in joint reconstruction and sports medicine: Particularly beneficial for patients with degenerative joint disease, arthritis, sports injuries, ligament/joint damage, or those needing complex joint reconstruction.
• Personalized treatment plans: Dr. Ponnanna K.M reportedly tailors care based on patient’s age, lifestyle, severity of damage — whether conservative therapy or total joint replacement — avoiding unnecessary surgery where possible.
