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 Jhunjhunu consult him in Jaipur for acl reconstruction, usually after sharing their reports first.
Why Dr. Hemendra Agrawal
Why Jhunjhunu patients choose Dr. Agrawal for acl reconstruction
ACL reconstruction is arthroscopic and usually needs only a short hospital stay. Your MRI can be reviewed before you travel, and the rehabilitation programme is structured so that most of it can be done near home with periodic reviews.
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 acl surgeon, even from Jhunjhunu
Orthopedic problems rarely improve by waiting, and distance is the most common reason they are left too long. Early assessment often means a smaller procedure, or none at all, and sharing reports first costs you nothing but a message.
Old ACL tears from service or training are common among Jhunjhunu's ex-servicemen. Even years later, reconstruction can protect what cartilage remains: an MRI shows whether that window is still open.
Consult if you have
- The knee gives way or buckles while turning or on uneven ground
- A twisting injury with sudden swelling within hours
- MRI reporting an ACL or PCL tear
- A knee that has never felt trustworthy since an old injury
- Locking or a catching sensation suggesting an associated meniscus tear

What To Expect
Your consultation in Jaipur, 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 Jhunjhunu to recovery
Jhunjhunu is about 180 km from Jaipur via Nawalgarh and Sikar, roughly 3½–4 hours by road, with rail connections from Jhunjhunu and Chirawa. It is close enough that follow-up visits after surgery are manageable, but far enough that reports should be reviewed before the first trip.
