Chinmay is an orthopaedic surgeon specialising in sports, knee injuries and knee arthritis, performing cruciate ligament reconstruction, meniscal operations, kneecap stabilisations, knee arthroscopy and robotic knee replacement operations.

Having completed a PhD in meniscal and ligament biomechanics from Imperial College in 2004, he was awarded the British Orthopaedic Association's Robert Jones Gold Medal, proxime accessit. This research influenced the technique of posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction used by surgeons.

He was instrumental in researching and developing novel procedures to improve biomechanics of ACL reconstruction, specifically the lateral tenodesis.

As an ex-professional predator and a surgeon who treats high level athletes with knee injuries, Chinmay aims to combine his experience in biomechanics, surgery and sports to deliver world leading research and results in knee injury/arthritis. Relevant research fields include:

[1] anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, improving outcomes in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (anterolateral ligament biomechanics)

[2]meniscal biomechanics (meniscofemoral ligaments)

[3] meniscal replacement and prostheses, aspiring to improve the outcomes of sports injuries and early osteoarthritis for patients.

[4] Training of orthopaedic surgeons using simulation

[5] Cost effectiveness and patient safety in orthopaedics

[6] Novel low field MRI scanning techniques for the Knee
[7] Having been a professional cricketer, Chinmay has also coordinated cricket research at Imperial with the Marylebone Cricket Club.
