His clinical expertise includes minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery and the management of complex shoulder and knee conditions.
Dr. Pradyumna R completed his MBBS and MS in Orthopaedics, followed by advanced fellowship training in arthroscopy and sports medicine. He undertook international fellowship training in shoulder and elbow surgery in Germany and complex shoulder arthroscopy and arthroplasty in South Korea. He also holds a FIFA Diploma in Football Medicine, supporting his clinical interest in the prevention, diagnosis and management of sports-related injuries.
As an orthopaedic and sports medicine specialist in Bangalore, Dr. Pradyumna evaluates patients with shoulder pain, recurrent shoulder dislocation, rotator cuff tears, knee ligament injuries, meniscus tears and other sports-related musculoskeletal conditions. His treatment approach includes clinical examination, imaging review, rehabilitation planning and surgical intervention when indicated.
Dr. Pradyumna has extensive experience in shoulder arthroscopy and reconstructive surgery. His documented procedures include arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, SLAP lesion repair, Bankart repair and the Latarjet procedure for selected patients with recurrent shoulder instability. He also performs total and reverse shoulder replacement procedures for appropriately selected shoulder joint conditions.
Knee sports injury surgery is another important area of his practice. Dr. Pradyumna performs anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction, meniscus root repair, multi-ligament knee reconstruction and medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction. His surgical planning considers the injury pattern, joint stability, activity requirements and rehabilitation goals.
Dr. Pradyumna has a particular interest in joint preservation and cartilage restoration. For selected patients with cartilage injuries or early joint degeneration, treatment may include arthroscopic assessment, cartilage restoration procedures and rehabilitation strategies intended to improve function and protect the joint.
His experience also includes shoulder replacement and robotic joint replacement surgery. Patients with advanced arthritis, severe joint damage or persistent functional limitations may require evaluation for reconstructive or replacement procedures after non-surgical treatment options have been considered.
Dr. Pradyumna's clinical approach emphasises personalised sports injury treatment and functional recovery. He works with rehabilitation teams to support postoperative physiotherapy, progressive strengthening, joint mobility and safe return to physical activity. Recovery timelines depend on the procedure, injury severity and individual rehabilitation progress.
In addition to clinical practice, Dr. Pradyumna is involved in orthopaedic research and professional education. His publications include studies concerning proximal humerus fractures, femoral fracture outcomes, rotator cuff repair techniques and shoulder biomechanics.

Dr. Pradyumna R is an orthopaedic sports medicine specialist in Bangalore who evaluates ligament tears, cartilage injuries, shoulder instability and other sports-related joint conditions. Treatment may involve rehabilitation, activity modification, arthroscopic surgery or joint reconstruction depending on the injury.
Dr. Pradyumna R has extensive experience in shoulder arthroscopy, a minimally invasive technique used to diagnose and treat selected shoulder joint conditions. His expertise includes rotator cuff repair, labral repair and surgery for recurrent shoulder instability.
Rotator cuff tears may cause shoulder pain, weakness and restricted movement. Dr. Pradyumna R performs arthroscopic rotator cuff repair for selected patients with tendon injuries. Treatment decisions depend on tear size, symptoms, activity requirements and response to non-surgical care.
Dr. Pradyumna R treats recurrent shoulder dislocations and instability associated with labral injuries or bone loss. His surgical expertise includes Bankart repair and the Latarjet procedure for appropriately selected cases.
A Bankart lesion involves injury to the shoulder labrum, often following a dislocation. Dr. Pradyumna R performs arthroscopic Bankart repair to restore stability in suitable patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability.
SLAP lesions affect the upper portion of the shoulder labrum and may cause pain or mechanical symptoms. Dr. Pradyumna R evaluates these injuries and performs SLAP repair when clinically indicated, particularly in selected active patients.
The Latarjet procedure may be considered for recurrent shoulder dislocation associated with significant bone loss or other instability factors. Dr. Pradyumna R has documented expertise in this reconstructive shoulder procedure.
Dr. Pradyumna R performs shoulder replacement procedures for selected patients with advanced joint degeneration or complex shoulder conditions. His expertise includes total shoulder arthroplasty and reverse shoulder replacement.
Reverse shoulder arthroplasty may be considered for selected patients with severe rotator cuff dysfunction and shoulder arthritis. Dr. Pradyumna R evaluates joint condition, function and imaging findings before recommending replacement surgery.
Dr. Pradyumna R has extensive experience in knee arthroscopy for ligament, meniscus and cartilage-related conditions. Arthroscopic techniques allow selected injuries to be treated through small incisions using specialised instruments.
Anterior cruciate ligament injuries commonly occur during sports involving sudden direction changes or twisting movements. Dr. Pradyumna R performs ACL reconstruction for selected patients with knee instability and functional limitations.
Posterior cruciate ligament injuries can affect knee stability following trauma or sports injuries. Dr. Pradyumna R evaluates PCL tears and performs reconstructive procedures when significant instability or associated injuries require surgical treatment.
Meniscus tears may cause knee pain, swelling, catching or locking. Dr. Pradyumna R evaluates meniscal injuries and provides arthroscopic treatment, including meniscus root repair for suitable tears with preservation potential.
Complex knee injuries may involve damage to several stabilising ligaments. Dr. Pradyumna R performs multi-ligament reconstruction for selected patients with combined ligament injuries and significant knee instability.
Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction may be recommended for selected patients with recurrent kneecap dislocation. Dr. Pradyumna R evaluates patellar instability and performs MPFL reconstruction when clinically appropriate.
Dr. Pradyumna R has experience in cartilage restoration and transplantation procedures for selected joint cartilage defects. Treatment depends on lesion size, location, joint alignment, patient activity and associated injuries.
Dr. Pradyumna R's official hospital profile includes robotic joint replacement among his areas of surgical expertise. Robotic assistance may support surgical planning and implant positioning in selected joint replacement procedures.
Dr. Pradyumna R has advanced fellowship training in shoulder and elbow surgery. He evaluates selected elbow injuries and joint conditions, with treatment options based on the diagnosis, severity and functional requirements.
