Dr. Sandeep Dixit is a Senior Consultant in Orthopaedics at Manipal Hospital, Kanakapura Road, Bengaluru. He has over 15 years of surgical and clinical experience, with expertise in hip and knee joint replacement, robotic-assisted orthopaedic surgery, arthroscopy, sports injury management and shoulder surgery. His clinical practice focuses on the evaluation and treatment of bone, joint and musculoskeletal conditions.
Dr. Sandeep Dixit completed his MBBS and Diploma in Orthopaedics at Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute. He subsequently obtained his DNB in Orthopaedics and pursued advanced fellowship training in Joint Replacement Surgery in Püttlingen, Germany. He has also undergone additional training in arthroscopy, sports injury management and shoulder procedures in India and abroad.
His joint replacement expertise includes total hip replacement, total knee replacement, revision arthroplasty and robotic-assisted joint replacement surgery. His official hospital profile reports experience with more than 3,000 orthopaedic operations, including primary and revision joint replacements and arthroscopic procedures. The choice of surgical technique depends on the patient's diagnosis, joint condition, imaging findings and overall health.
Dr. Dixit's areas of practice also include sports-related knee injuries, ligament reconstruction, arthroscopic surgery and shoulder conditions. His experience in orthopaedic trauma includes the management of complex fractures and reconstructive procedures. Depending on the clinical findings, treatment may involve medication, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, arthroscopy or joint replacement surgery.
He has contributed to medical research and academic publications covering orthopaedic trauma, joint replacement and uncommon musculoskeletal conditions. His publications include studies involving complex knee fractures, femoral neck fracture fixation and congenital orthopaedic abnormalities. He received the Young Orthopaedic Surgeon Award at BOSCON 2015 in Bangalore.
Dr. Sandeep Dixit currently practises at Manipal Hospital, Kanakapura Road, Bengaluru. He speaks Kannada, English and Telugu. Patients seeking assessment for arthritis, persistent joint pain, sports injuries, fractures or joint replacement can consult him for an individualised evaluation and discussion of available treatment options.
Total knee replacement is a surgical procedure in which damaged joint surfaces are replaced with artificial components. It may be considered for advanced knee arthritis when pain, stiffness and difficulty walking continue despite appropriate non-surgical treatment. Dr. Sandeep Dixit's documented expertise includes primary knee replacement and complex joint reconstruction.
Total hip replacement involves replacing damaged portions of the hip joint with artificial components. It may be recommended for severe hip arthritis, certain fractures or advanced joint damage. The decision depends on symptoms, imaging findings, mobility limitations and the patient's overall medical condition.
Robotic-assisted joint replacement uses computer-based planning and robotic guidance to support selected stages of surgery. It may help the surgeon plan component positioning and bone preparation. The technology does not replace the surgeon's clinical judgement, and suitability depends on the joint condition and available surgical systems.
Partial knee replacement may be considered when arthritis predominantly affects one compartment of the knee while other structures remain suitable for preservation. Only the affected joint surfaces are replaced. Careful clinical examination and imaging help determine whether partial or total knee replacement is the more appropriate option.
Revision knee replacement is performed when a previous knee implant requires correction or replacement because of problems such as loosening, wear, infection or instability. The procedure can be more complex than primary replacement and requires detailed assessment of bone quality, implant condition and the underlying cause of failure.
Revision hip replacement involves replacing or modifying components of an existing hip implant. It may be needed because of loosening, instability, infection, wear or certain fractures around the implant. Treatment planning includes imaging, assessment of the remaining bone and evaluation of the patient's functional requirements.
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a small camera and specialised instruments to examine or treat selected problems inside the knee. It may be used for certain meniscus injuries, ligament-related conditions or loose bodies. Not every cause of knee pain benefits from arthroscopy.
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction may be considered for selected patients with symptomatic knee instability following an ACL injury. The damaged ligament is reconstructed using a tendon graft. Treatment selection depends on activity level, associated injuries, knee stability and response to rehabilitation.
Posterior cruciate ligament injuries can affect knee stability, particularly after sports injuries or trauma. Some injuries are managed with bracing and physiotherapy, while selected severe or combined ligament injuries may require reconstruction. Assessment includes clinical examination and imaging to identify associated damage.
The meniscus is a cartilage structure that helps distribute weight and absorb shock within the knee. Certain tears may be suitable for arthroscopic repair, while others require rehabilitation or alternative treatment. The decision depends on tear location, pattern, tissue quality and accompanying knee injuries.
Shoulder arthroscopy uses a camera and small instruments to assess or treat selected conditions within the shoulder joint. It may be considered for certain tendon injuries, instability or other structural problems. Treatment recommendations depend on symptoms, examination findings, imaging and previous non-surgical management.
The rotator cuff consists of tendons that help stabilise and move the shoulder. A significant tear may cause pain, weakness and difficulty lifting the arm. Treatment may involve physiotherapy, medication or surgical repair depending on the tear characteristics, functional limitations and patient requirements.
Sports injuries may affect ligaments, tendons, cartilage, muscles and bones. Orthopaedic assessment helps identify the damaged structures and determine whether rehabilitation or surgery is appropriate. Dr. Sandeep Dixit's official hospital profile identifies arthroscopic and sports injury surgery as one of his principal areas of expertise.
Osteoarthritis involves gradual changes in joint cartilage and surrounding structures, commonly affecting the knees and hips. Management may include exercise, weight management, physiotherapy, medication and selected injections. Joint replacement may be considered when symptoms significantly affect daily activities despite appropriate non-surgical care.
Avascular necrosis occurs when reduced blood supply damages bone tissue, sometimes affecting the femoral head. Treatment depends on the stage of disease and degree of joint damage. Early cases may have joint-preserving options, while advanced collapse can require hip replacement in suitable patients.
Complex fractures may involve multiple bone fragments, joint surfaces or significant soft tissue injury. Treatment aims to restore alignment, stability and function. Depending on the injury, surgery may involve plates, screws, nails or other fixation devices, followed by rehabilitation and monitoring of fracture healing.
