About The Surgeon
Dr. Hemendra Agrawal
MBBS, MS (Orthopedics), DNB, MNAMS · Senior Orthopedic Consultant, Narayana Health · Director, Orthoklinik
Dr. Hemendra Agrawal is one of Rajasthan's most experienced orthopedic surgeons, with over 15 years of practice and more than 20,000 successful surgeries. He trained at SMS Medical College, Jaipur and Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi, and went on to complete international fellowships in joint replacement in Germany and Japan, shoulder and elbow surgery in Japan, and sports medicine and advanced arthroscopy in Switzerland.
He practises as Senior Orthopedic Consultant at Narayana Health, Jaipur and is Founder and Director of Orthoklinik, Pratap Nagar. His work centres on knee, hip and shoulder replacement, arthroscopic ligament and cartilage surgery, and complex or neglected trauma, including cases other surgeons have declined. Patients from Hanumangarh consult him at his monthly OPD without needing to travel to Jaipur for an opinion.
Why Dr. Hemendra Agrawal
Why choose Dr. Agrawal for shoulder & upper limb surgery
Rotator cuff problems are routinely misdiagnosed as ordinary 'frozen shoulder' and treated with painkillers for months. A cuff tear does not heal on its own and enlarges with time, so an early, accurate assessment changes the outcome significantly.
Internationally fellowship-trained
Fellowship training in joint replacement in Germany and Japan, shoulder and elbow surgery in Japan, and sports medicine and advanced arthroscopy in Switzerland. Very few orthopedic surgeons practising in Rajasthan carry this combination of international subspecialty training.
20,000+ surgeries performed
In joint replacement and arthroscopy, surgical volume is one of the strongest predictors of implant longevity and low complication rates. Two decades of high-volume operating means uncommon problems are familiar ones.
Both joint replacement and sports arthroscopy
Most surgeons subspecialise in one or the other. Dr. Agrawal operates across both, so a torn ACL in a 24-year-old athlete and a worn-out knee in a 70-year-old are each handled by a surgeon who performs that specific procedure regularly, not occasionally.
The surgeon you meet is the surgeon who operates
At every OPD you are examined by Dr. Agrawal personally, and he performs the surgery himself. There is no handover to a junior colleague between consultation and operation: the same surgeon sees your case from first assessment through to final follow-up.
Surgery only when it is genuinely needed
A significant share of OPD consultations end with a non-surgical plan, physiotherapy, injections, activity modification or simply monitoring. Second opinions on surgery advised elsewhere are welcomed, and you will be told plainly if an operation can wait or be avoided.
Insurance and scheme navigation handled
Cashless coordination and claims assistance across CGHS, ECHS, RGHS, Railway, Ayushman Bharat, Mukhyamantri Chiranjeevi and major private insurers, checked and explained at the OPD before you commit to anything.
When To Consult
Signs you should see a shoulder & upper limb surgeon in Hanumangarh
Orthopedic problems rarely improve by waiting. Early assessment often means a smaller procedure, or none at all, whereas a delayed ligament or cartilage injury frequently turns into early arthritis that needs far more extensive surgery later.

- Weakness lifting or reaching overhead

What To Expect
Your consultation, step by step
History and clinical examination
A detailed discussion of how the problem started, what makes it worse, how it limits you day to day, followed by a hands-on examination of the joint, its stability, range of motion and alignment.
Review of your imaging
X-rays, MRI or CT films are reviewed with you on the spot. Bring older films too: comparing imaging over time often reveals how fast a problem is progressing, and that frequently changes the recommendation.
Diagnosis explained in plain language
You are told what is actually wrong, in words that make sense: what is damaged, why it hurts, and what will happen if it is left alone.
All options, including non-surgical ones
Medication, physiotherapy, injections, bracing and activity change are discussed before surgery is raised. If an operation is not needed yet, you will be told so.
If surgery is advised: the full picture
Which procedure, which implant and why, expected recovery timeline, realistic outcomes, risks, approximate cost, and how your insurance or government scheme applies.
A written plan to take home
You leave with a documented opinion and plan you can consider at home, discuss with family, or take for a further opinion elsewhere.
Your Pathway
From Hanumangarh OPD to recovery
Hanumangarh is about 385 km from Jaipur via Sikar and Churu, with rail connectivity through Hanumangarh Junction. The monthly OPD means consultation, imaging review and follow-up are handled in Hanumangarh Town. Only the surgery requires a trip to Jaipur.
Check insurance & cashless cover for Shoulder & Upper Limb SurgeryConsult Dr. Agrawal at the Hanumangarh OPD
Personal examination by Dr. Agrawal, review of your X-rays or MRI, and a clear written opinion on whether surgery is actually needed, at Mahaveer Lab, every 3rd Thursday of the month. No travel to Jaipur required for this step.
Surgery in Jaipur, by the same surgeon
If surgery is advised, Dr. Agrawal performs it himself in Jaipur at Narayana Hospital or Orthoklinik, Pratap Nagar. Admission, implant selection and insurance paperwork are arranged in advance so the trip is a single planned visit.
Follow-up back in Hanumangarh
Post-operative review, suture removal, physiotherapy guidance and implant checks happen at the next Hanumangarh OPD, so recovery does not mean repeated long-distance travel.
