About Dr. Shwetabh Rai, orthopedic surgeon in Varanasi

Dr. Shwetabh Rai is an orthopedic surgeon and orthopaedic doctor in Varanasi who treats the full range of bone, joint, muscle, ligament and tendon (musculoskeletal) problems, from a child's wrist fracture after a fall, to a young athlete's torn ACL, to an elderly parent who can no longer climb stairs because of knee arthritis. With more than twelve years of orthopaedic practice, he has built his work around one simple idea: every patient deserves a clear diagnosis, an honest explanation of the options, and treatment that matches their age, lifestyle and goals.

His training spans the core and super-specialty levels of orthopaedics. He holds an MS and a DNB in Orthopaedics, an MCh, and a Diploma from SICOT (Société Internationale de Chirurgie Orthopédique et de Traumatologie), the international society of orthopaedic surgery and traumatology based in Belgium. This combination of Indian and international training gives him a strong foundation in both complex joint replacement and modern trauma management.

At Shubhyash Hospital in Bhojuveer, Dr. Rai leads orthopaedics and trauma care. Patients come to him for total knee replacement, robotic-assisted knee replacement, hip replacement, fracture fixation, arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery, sports injury treatment and long-term management of arthritis and back pain. Because the hospital runs a 24x7 trauma and emergency service, accident and fracture cases can be assessed and treated without the delays of being shuffled between facilities.

Not every orthopaedic problem needs an operation, and Dr. Rai is known for saying so. A large share of his patients improve with medicines, guided physiotherapy, bracing, weight and activity changes or injections. When surgery genuinely is the right choice, he explains why, what the procedure involves, what recovery will look like week by week, and what results are realistic, so families in Varanasi can make the decision with confidence rather than fear.
