About Dr. Rakesh Mahajan

Dr. Rakesh Mahajan is Vice Chairman and Head of the Centre for Orthopedics at BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital in New Delhi, India. With over 38 years of clinical experience, he has established himself as a leading orthopedic surgeon specializing in complex joint replacement and arthroscopic procedures. His qualifications include MBBS, MS (Orthopedics), DNB (Orthopedics), and M.Ch., supplemented by specialized fellowships in Joint Replacement and Sports Medicine from the National University Hospital Singapore, and Shoulder Arthroscopy and Sports Trauma from South Africa.

Dr. Mahajan's clinical practice encompasses the full spectrum of orthopedic surgery. He performs primary and revision total knee and hip replacements, with particular expertise in robotic-assisted knee replacement and complex primary arthroplasties. His arthroscopic skills extend across multiple joints, including shoulder stabilization, ACL reconstruction, and meniscal repair. He is equally proficient in fracture fixation, limb lengthening procedures, and ligament repair, handling both straightforward and highly complicated cases. His case volumes and technical refinement have earned him recognition at DOACON (Regional Forum) for his innovations in unicondylar knee replacement and complex primary knee and hip replacement techniques.

Dr. Mahajan regularly treats international patients from the Gulf region, Africa, and South Asia seeking specialized orthopedic care. He understands the travel and communication needs of international patients and maintains a patient-centered approach that prioritizes clear consultation, transparent expectations, and structured follow-up care. Many international patients travel to BLK-Max specifically for his joint replacement and revision surgery expertise.

BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital is one of India's premier multispecialty facilities, located in the heart of New Delhi. The hospital is accredited and equipped with state-of-the-art operating theaters, robotic surgical systems, advanced imaging, and dedicated post-operative rehabilitation facilities. The hospital has established infrastructure for international patient coordination, including visa support, accommodation liaison, and multilingual staff. Patients benefit from New Delhi's connectivity and the hospital's reputation for integrating cutting-edge technology with clinical excellence.

International patients should know that Dr. Mahajan offers both surgical and non-surgical management options, with a philosophy of preserving joint function whenever possible. His experience in managing complex revisions and salvage procedures is particularly valuable for patients who have encountered complications elsewhere. The consultation fee is USD 95, with flexible scheduling for overseas patients. Follow-up care can be managed remotely via video consultation for appropriate cases, reducing the need for extended stays.
