CURRENT STATUS

After working for several years in UK and USA, Dr. Mody decided to return home for reasons of personal values. From January 1995 to December 1998, he worked with Mayo Hospital, a 300 bedded multi speciality hospital, where he started as one of the consultant orthopaedic surgeons and progressed to become Head of the Orthopaedic and Trauma department.  During the last one year of his association with the hospital, he took charge of the whole establishment as Executive Vice President. This gave Dr. Mody a unique and invaluable opportunity to take charge of the administrative aspects of running a huge health service provider institution; and gave him insights into the economics, administration, politics, man-power management and other related facets of health care industry which will benefit his performance over the years to come.

He founded Centre for Knee and Hip Surgery in February 1999.  Starting as a single person practice, he guided its growth to a point where at present it is in the process of establishing the 100 bedded speciality Welcare Hospital offering a comprehensive range of services in the field of orthopaedics and traumatology.

Dr. Mody heads a team of orthopaedic surgeons and under his leadership and tutelage, the team has established its credibility as one of the premier institutes for Joint Arthroplasty & Arthroscopy work in the country. It attracts patients from across the world.

Dr. Mody is recognized as one of the leading faculty members from India and is invited to lecture on international platforms on a regular basis.  He is a member of the Scientific Advisory Committee of EFORT (European Federation of National Associations of Orthopaedics and Traumatology)-ASIA and has been on the Executive Committee of the Asia Pacific Arthroplasty Society.

ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES

THESES DEFENDED

1. Long term results of fracture of the femoral neck in children.

B.S.Mody
Defended this thesis as part of requirements by the M.S.University of Baroda for the Master of Surgery (Orth) degree. 1987.

This is based on a study of 25 patients with a minimum follow-up of 5 years. The main conclusions were that there is a very high rate of avascular necrosis (49%) in Type II and III displaced fractures; closed or open reduction with pin fixation is recommended for Type I, II and III fractures (both displaced & undisplaced), and for Type IV displaced fractures; there is a high chance of progressive coxa vara if these fractures are not fixed; and the changes of AVN might start manifesting as late as 2 years after injury.

2. Evaluation of the carbon and polyester prosthetic ligament in chronic anterior cruciate deficiency.

B.S.Mody

Defended this thesis as part of requirements by the Liverpool University for the Mch (Orth) degree course. 1993.

This study was based on a study of 31 patients with chronic anterior cruciate deficiency treated with the ABC prosthetic ligament. The main conclusions were that the carbon and polyester ABC ligament had not yielded a satisfactory level of good results when used in chronic ACL deficiency; the incidence of failure at around 15% within about 3 years of implantation was considered too high for this prosthesis to be recommended for use in young patients; true neo ligament formation is far from being conclusively proved and it would be unrealistic to expect the prosthesis to be relieved of its load bearing function in due time; the prosthesis seems to be vulnerable at its exit from the tibial hole; the results seem to be highly technique sensitive and perhaps it is unwise to advocate the use of this prosthesis by the general orthopaedic surgeon.
