I hope this letter finds you in good health.
The practice specializes in total hip and knee joint replacement. In 2002, my
son, Dr. Amar Ranawat joined the practice, specializing in total joint
replacement, including hip and knee revisions. The most recent addition to the
practice is my youngest son, Dr. Anil Ranawat, who has special expertise in
joint preservation, including arthroscopy of the hip, knee and shoulder.
To accommodate our growing practice, we have decided to re-locate to the
Hospital for Special Surgery. Our new office address and contact information is:
Ranawat Orthopaedic
Hospital for Special Surgery
535 East 70th Street 6th Floor
New York, NY 10021
646.797.8700 or
212.434.4700

Dr. Amar Ranawat will continue to see patients and operate at Lenox Hill
Hospital for those who desire to have their care at Lenox Hill.
In addition to our commitment to deliver the highest quality patient care, The
Ranawat Orthopaedic practice is dedicated to research and development of new
methods to diagnose and treat arthritis from all causes. Our goal is to improve
existing total joint technology and knowledge of the disease process causing
arthritis. To this end, we have conducted many important studies.
One of our most recent projects is pain reduction after joint replacement
surgery, with a series of intraoperative injections into the soft tissue, with
selected medications (ROC Cocktail) to control post-operative pain, which
improves mobility and recovery of joint function.
Another area of research focuses on the use of MRI’s as a non-invasive detection
of where induced early implant failure. Currently, methods to detect early
implant polyethylene wear require significant radiation exposure using x rays
and CT scans.
By studying the implants themselves, we hope to design the best possible hip and
knee implant for maximum mobility, function and durability. In the past five
years, we have published and presented over 100 articles of our research
findings in major medical journals and conferences.
If you have had a joint replacement, your recovery and long-term progress are
important to us. It is our desire to stay in touch. Please let us know if you
change your mailing address, phone number or email. This may enable you to
participate in future research projects that will benefit you and other patients
having joint replacement surgery.
We look forward to hearing from you.
With kind regards,
Chitranjan S. Ranawat, M.D.
