Dr. Rajagopalan Krishnan is a highly accomplished Senior Consultant in Orthopedics, Spine Surgery, and Joint Replacement at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi. With over 35 years of extensive clinical experience, Dr. Krishnan is recognized as a leading spine surgeon who has dedicated his career to treating the full spectrum of spinal disorders from degenerative disc disease and spinal deformities to complex spinal trauma and spinal tumors.
Dr. Krishnan's career spans both India and the United Kingdom, where he served as a full-time Consultant Orthopedic Spinal Surgeon at Mid-Cheshire NHS Trust and maintained a busy private practice at BMI South Cheshire Hospital and Spire Stretton Hospital. During his decade-long tenure in the UK, he dealt with more than 3,000 OPD spine patients and performed over 350 spine surgeries every year. He has developed his own techniques for erosive Sacral Tarlov cysts and anterior long and short segment instrumented correction for pediatric and adult spinal deformities.
Dr. Krishnan holds a special interest in complex spine surgery, including manubriosternotomy for upper thoracic anterior instrumentation, jaw-splitting craniocervical surgery, total sacrectomy with lumbopelvic reconstruction, skull separation cervical osteotomy, and complex revision of failed spine surgery. His commitment to auditing every patient's outcome using internationally recognized protocols — including the Oswestry Disability Index, Canadian Neck Disability Index, and his own Spinal Deformity Protocol — reflects his dedication to evidence-based, patient-centered care.
