Dr. Garg is Principal Director & Head of Orthopaedics & Spine at Max Hospital, Delhi, and a former Professor at AIIMS New Delhi — a clinician-scientist with 25 years of excellence, whose practice spans complex spine and orthopaedic surgery and whose research has helped shape how those conditions are treated.
His clinical focus is robotic hip and knee replacement, revision spine surgery, complex trauma and fracture care, shoulder and elbow replacement, and complex and severe spinal deformity. Alongside the operating theatre, he has authored more than 325 publications in national and international journals, holds seven patents and medical-device innovations, and has been named among Stanford University’s “World’s Top 2% Scientists” for three consecutive years.

Where complexity is the point
The procedures that define the practice — higher-complexity and signature work, each grounded in published evidence.
- Precision arthroplasty
Robotic Hip & Knee Replacement
Surgeon-controlled robotic arm with 3-D planning for millimetric implant placement, better alignment and faster recovery.
- When the first operation has not worked
Revision Spine Surgery
Planned re-operation for non-union, recurrent disc problems, adjacent-segment disease, hardware failure or recurrent deformity.
- High-energy & peri-articular
Complex Trauma & Fracture Care
Multi-fragment, joint-surface, peri-implant and pelvic fractures — definitive fixation with early protected motion.
- Anatomic & reverse
Shoulder & Elbow Replacement
Replacement of the shoulder or elbow for arthritis, severe fracture, or rotator-cuff–deficient joints.
- Modified PVCR
Complex & Severe Spinal Deformity
A refined posterior vertebral column resection for rigid, severe deformity — developed and refined at AIIMS.
- Precision instrumentation
Robotic & Navigated Spine Surgery
Robotics, navigation and 3D-printed patient-specific guides for accuracy in complex spinal anatomy.
A safer route through the most difficult curves
Dr. Garg’s Modified Posterior Vertebral Column Resection — a refinement of one of the most demanding operations in spine surgery, developed and refined at AIIMS over roughly seven years — was published in The Spine Journal and, in 2026, drew national press attention as a safer, more reliable approach for severe spinal deformity.

Understanding the spine
Plain-language guides written to inform, not to sell — what each condition is, how it is diagnosed, and the options, non-surgical first.
- Scoliosis
- Kyphosis
- Slipped / Herniated Disc
- Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
- Spinal Tuberculosis
- Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures
- Sciatica
- Cervical Myelopathy
Research that reaches the operating table
Robotic and navigated surgery, 3D-printed patient-specific guides, and machine-learning analysis of spinal deformity — Dr. Garg’s “high-tech” reputation comes from his own funded research, not marketing.
