Fellowship Program
Extremely passionate about imparting his surgical knowledge Dr Chirag Thonse successfully runs a fellowship programme (ISAKOS Approved) under his guidance in arthroscopy and sports surgeries. Three candidates at a given point of time for 6 months. The programme is supported by Manipal hospital (previously Vikram hospital) and Arthrex education. During this tenure, the fellows get an opportunity to assist and learn various surgical procedures of the shoulder and knee and attend outpatient assessments. They would also be involved in research and presentations.
My mentor, guide, and inspiration Dr. Chirag Thonse is by far the best arthroscopic surgeon in the country. His understanding of the subject of Arthroscopy and Arthroplasty is unparalleled. The way he makes difficult surgeries look easier for his fellows is an art to learn. No praise is enough to describe the influence sir has had on all those privileged to have learned from him. The legend has made his mark and we as his fellows will continue his legacy.

I would, first of all, thank Dr. Chirag Thonse sir for providing this fellowship opportunity. Excellent fellowship with sufficient and quality cases in terms of both arthroscopy and arthroplasty. Allowing to interact with patients in his private clinics was one of the best parts of this fellowship. Friendly guide and family-like supporting staff. One would definitely miss their fellowship days once the course is done. Highly recommended for anyone interested in arthroscopy and arthroplasty fellowships.

Respected sir,
Truly inspired by your dedication, hardwork and amount of time that you will spend for patient care. Assisting and learning from you during surgeries was a wonderful experience. The sufficient number of surgical cases both in terms of arthroscopy and arthroplasty, your surgical expertise and good number of outpatients at clinics are truly the best part of this fellowship programme. Another important skill that I learnt is about counseling and communication with patients. Thank you Dr Chirag Thonse sir and the entire staff of The Orthopaedic Clinic for supporting me throughout this wonderful journey.
