Through advanced repair and reconstruction techniques, Dr. Gupta has helped preserve joint function for numerous patients, earning him the title of “The Meniscus Man of India.”

His expertise has also received international recognition. Dr. Gupta is a FAANA-awarded doctor, having been honoured with the Fellowship of the Arthroscopy Association of North America (USA) for his contributions to healthcare and surgical excellence.

Arthroscopic surgery, a minimally invasive technique performed through small incisions using specialized cameras and instruments, has transformed the management of sports injuries. Compared with conventional open procedures, arthroscopy offers less pain, reduced hospital stays, quicker rehabilitation, and a faster return to activity. Under Dr. Gupta’s leadership, Apollo Sage Hospital has become a centre of excellence for these advanced procedures.
