Dr. Pritam Paul

MS (Orthopaedics) · DNB (Orthopaedics)

Orthopaedic & Joint Replacement Surgeon

Dr. Pritam Paul is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon based in Berhampore, West Bengal, practising across trauma, joint replacement and arthroscopic surgery. He completed his postgraduate training in Orthopaedics in 2020 — earning an MS from Burdwan Medical College and a DNB from the National Board of Examinations — and has since combined an active surgical practice with senior teaching roles at government medical colleges. His clinical work centres on the management of complex fractures, including pelvi-acetabular injuries, alongside hip and knee replacement and ligament reconstruction. Trained through the AO Trauma and AO Recon programmes and a contributor to peer-reviewed orthopaedic research, he is known among patients and referring colleagues for careful diagnosis, clear explanation, and a measured approach in which surgery is advised only when it offers the best route back to an active life.

Philosophy of Care

How I approach treatment

I begin by listening. Understanding what each patient wants from their treatment — to walk without pain, to return to work, to keep up with their family — shapes every decision that follows.

  • Listen first, and understand the whole person
  • Explain each condition and its options clearly
  • Practise evidence-based medicine
  • Tailor treatment to the individual, not the X-ray
  • Operate only when it is genuinely necessary
  • Aim, always, to return patients to an active life
