The fitness of the human body is directly dependent on the fitness of bones and their well-integrated skeleton structure. Healthy bones cannot remain healthy forever. Minor to major accidental injuries, lessening intake and proportion of calcium, old age, decay, and musculoskeletal disorders make it necessary for every adult (and sometimes even young ones) to visit an orthopaedic surgeon who can then perform their magic treatments and heal the bones and comfort the ailing body out if its discomfort.
Leading this league of India’s best orthopaedic surgeons is Dr Shrujal C. Shah, who is working as a Senior Orthopaedic Surgeon at Green Leaf and Sheth P.T. Surat General Hospital.

Green Leaf and Sheth P. T. Surat General Hospital
A state-of-the-art multispecialty orthopaedics hospital, Green Leaf, is near the airport’s heart of the city. He shares, “We provide a one-stop solution for all orthopaedics problems, including joint replacement (primary and revision), arthroscopy (knee and shoulder), fracture and accident 24*7.” A 10-bed advance ICU facility with three modular joint-less operation theatres is also available.
Dr Shrujal is a senior experienced orthopaedics surgeon who has performed over 5000 surgeries successfully. “Computer-assisted navigation techniques make all our surgeries accurate and precise. The surgeries utilise minimum invasive technology for all fractures so we can start the patient ambulatory as early as possible,” he says.
Dr Shrujal is distinguished from other orthopaedic surgeons because of his compassionately careful approach based on his vision and guiding principles. “We envision healthy bones for everyone,” he says, adding, “Our guiding principles are very close to our hearts as we believe,”
~Every person in India has a fundamental right to equitable, high-quality, and affordable health care.
~Everyone should have the opportunity to lead a healthy life.
~Every part of society should value and promote healthy families and communities.
~Doctors should lead in improving health care and ending health disparities.
Tech-Ensured Precision
Being an experienced leader, he shares his opinion on how adopting modern technologies like AI, ML, Cloud, and Blockchain; is impacting the current orthopaedic treatments sector and how he is contributing to the change.
In a country like India, with a burgeoning population, it’s often difficult for hospitals and doctors to keep up with the demand as there aren’t enough doctors to deal with the huge inflow of patients. AI can help handle the demand of patients and even help treat patients not residing in the same city. “The fact that we take the help of AI to ensure precision in our surgeries can mean that people could also travel to Surat for medical tourism and reap the benefits of the superior and affordable healthcare available at our hospital,” he adds.
Eliminating Adversities
According to Dr Shrujal, considering the current scenarios, there are many challenges that a doctor has to face, from working overtime to being available whenever for your patients, but that’s part of the job and the field we chose. Back-to-back surgeries can also make one feel mentally and physically exhausted.
He says, “Once in a while, we come across a case that is quite serious or advanced and difficult to handle.” In such situations, doctors must tread carefully as the patient’s family is
understandingly upset or scared for their loved ones’ wellbeing. He adds, “We try to do our best, but the outcomes can sometimes be ugly, and in those cases, we like to make our stand and procedure very clear to avoid any misunderstandings on their part in case something goes wrong.”
Advise for the Dreamy-Eyed Aspirants
To all those dreamy-eyed young students who wish to enter the field, Dr Shrujal recommends paying attention to pre and post-surgery counselling because it is more important than the surgery itself.
The patient needs to be aware of the risks associated. Once the surgery is completed, they need to properly understand all the precautions and care they need to take to ensure complete recovery in a minimal amount of time.
He says, “I’d also suggest consulting and working with senior doctors when you have just entered the field because it takes time to get a hold of things, and there is a lot you can learn when you have a senior doctor present.”
An Ortho-Healthy Future
On envisioning scaling Green Leaf Hospital’s operations and offerings in the future, Dr Shrujal says they plan on adding more infrastructure and acquiring more advanced technology for ease in
surgeries and the betterment of the patients. When they use technology in their surgeries, they can get them done through a small incision that doesn’t leave a significant scar on the body. “With these added benefits, we can look forward to a future where we can serve as many patients as possible and improve their lives,” he concludes.
