Journal Of Bone And Joint Surgery in November 2012 titled Computer-Navigated Versus Conventional Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Prospective Randomized Trial 
By Young-Hoo Kim, MD1; Jang-Won Park, MD1; Jun-Shik Kim, MD1 

This RANDOMIZED study clearly shows NO DIFFERENCE in clinical results, alignment and survivorship (life) of knees that underwent computer navigated total knee replacement or conventional total knee replacement WITHOUT USING computer.Furthermore a META-ANALYSIS has been conducted by Tao Cheng, Xiao-YUN Pan, Xin Mao, Guo-You Zhang, Xian-Long Zhang and published in the knee journal in August 2012; which shows computer navigated total knee replacement does NOT lead to clinical results superior to conventional total knee replacement.

Dr Deepak inamdar , ,Bangalore , Reviews

 1.I hardly have pain any more and my hand looks much better-
                            
Were you pleased with the treatment? I had a radial club hand since by birth 30 years ago and none of the doctors i consulted, including a specialist in the UK, diagnosed it correctly. As a result i underwent painful procedures which only resulted in a deformed left hand and chronic pain in the wrist. A chance visit to Dr.Deepak revealed the problem and he suggested a cosmetic correction. The procedure was simple and results are amazing. I hardly have pain any more and my hand looks much better. Thank you doctor

2.Testimonial-
 was at the height of physical fitness, trying to do everything possible to keep myself fit. On 11th July 2009 I had planned to trek with few of my friends at Bilikallu Rangaswamy betta near kanakapura town. After traveling through very serene and winding roads, we had to trek for about 3.5 hours to get to the top of the mountain. It was very scenic and the winds at the top were very refreshing and we really enjoyed our time there.
We started our descent and after 10 minutes I slipped and just had to squat. In the process, because of the momentum my right leg entered under a rock. When I pulled it out I realized that my foot had turned around by 90 degrees. When I tried putting my foot down it was clear that my ankle was completely dislocated. I was obviously in severe pain and my friends then had to help me get back to the vehicle. It took me 5.5 hours after the accident to get to the hospital.
Orthopedic surgeon then asked for an X-ray and made it very clear that there were multiple fractures and a surgery had to be performed. My dad and uncle then wanted to take a second opinion on the same. They were then referred to Dr. Deepak Inamdar by a close family friend who is a physiotherapist.
My dad and Uncle were obviously very confident once they spoke to Dr. Deepak Inamdar and wanted to me to be treated by him. I was then moved to Ramakrishna hospital. I met him for the first time at the hospital and he immediately infused lot of confidence in me. He was a young doctor who was willing to spend time to explain all aspects of what had happened and what he was planning to do.
I finally had to go through the surgery on 14th July 2009 and it was a 3.5 hours surgery. He met me next morning in the ICU with the X-Ray of my fibula and ankle with the plate and screws fixed in it. He then explained me why it so long as the bone had shattered and it was a jigsaw puzzle for him to put that back together. He obviously took pride in the work he had done the previous day and was very thrilled that it had come out very well.
It took me 4 months to move from ICU to ward to bed to crutches to stick and finally to walking. People were really imagined that was back on my legs and could start walking in a period of 4 months. In about 5 months I could resume walking for 2.5 hours continuously. In a period of about 8 months or so I was about play every game that I used to play earlier. In fact I had also gone trekking within a year to Sawan Durga although it was not a treacherous!!

Real testimony to Dr. Deepak’s skill was when I had visited US in winter within 8 months of my accident and enthusiastically ended up running on the treadmill. I was in pain and had to visit a local doctor there and he was amazed at the work done on my leg and ended up saying that it he could barely make out that a surgery was done on my leg as it was really clean.
Now I am able to do any activity without any hindrance at all, Thanks to Dr Deepak

3. Were you pleased with the treatment?
                                   My 28 years tension free and smooth life story in short: I am very brave as people say, but I didn't think so. I was proud of my walk, the way I normally walk, as I love ramp/catwalk, but one day heard I badly needed a hip replacement.
Few years back I came to know that am a sickle anaemic patient, which was a big shock for me and again after 5 years of stay in Bangalore, found that I have to replace my hip ASAP, which happened because of sickle.
I roamed here n there new new hospitals with by hearted same story explained each and every doctor finally tired and decided to quit after seeing processes and cost.I lost my hope thinking "walk" a big dream now for me what was my strength.
Finally we went to Ortho One and met Doctor Deepak Inamdar. He is the best among all best doctors.
I have no words to say thanks to him. People say doctors are replica of god but I must say Deepak sir is my god who changed my life and made me stand again. He showed me my new life and I can say me the one now among crowds who is leading normal life living happily with my baby and family
Thanks you so much Dr. Deepak Inamdar for all your efforts. Hearty thanks!

5 .My experience with Dr. Inamdar has been very good. Dr. Inamdar's consulting charges are reasonable, he is courteous and helpful, and is cautious and considerate while requisitioning diagnostics. In my interactions with him several times for myself and my family members, I have seen him to be reasonable when he requests diagnostics. The medication he prescribes is effective and does not cost much.

6.     Dr. Inamdar is amongst the most professional medical practitioners I have come across. A true professional, Dr. Inamdar makes a patient and his family comfortable and at ease. I had the opportunity to interact with him when my Mother wanted a second opinion on her condition. Even though Dr. Inamdar knew that he was not the primary consultant, he did not shrug off the case, but presented a differing medical view very professionally. Dr. Inamdar spends time to take the case history, and prefers to go by a graded approach, with focus more on the patient's comfort and recovery. Another thing which stands out is his neutrality on choice of laboratories for investigations, and diagnostic procedures.
