Dr. Sameer Desai - Pune's Renowned Paediatric Orthopedic Surgeon
We treat children right from birth till 18 years. We also treat adults who had childhood diseases and were untreated at that time. Some of the common conditions are clubfoot, congenital dislocation of hip and knee, new born fractures, infections of bones and joints, intoe gait, flat foot, knock knee, bow leg and cerebral palsy. Scroll down to see the complete list.
I also got to see and treat difficult and complicated cases during this period. I followed it up with a fellowship in Paediatric Orthopaedics in Seoul, Korea with Professor H.R Song and Prof Lee. This was followed by a fellowship in Cerebral Palsy and Gait Laboratory under Prof Kerr Graham at Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne, Australia. At these centres I got an opportunity to learn latest techniques in Paediatric Orthopaedics. After my return to India I joined as a consultant in Paediatric Orthopaedics in some of the leading hospitals in Pune.

What is Clubfoot?
Clubfoot(CTEV) is a condition characterised by deformity of foot in which the foot is curved inwards. It is seen in 2-3 per 1000 live births. Though this condition can be diagnosed on ultrasound before birth, it’s treatment starts only after birth.
The method of choice is Ponseti method of correction in which plasters are applied within one week of birth and foot is corrected gradually with 4-5 serial plasters. After full correction the child is braced for 2 years. The results of this method are very good and time tested and the child is left with no residual deformity.

Clubfoot Medical Foundation
Clubfoot medical Foundation is a trust founded by Dr. Sameer Desai for the treatment of children with Clubfoot. Our moto is “NO CHILD SHOULD GO UNTREATED”. Through this trust we organize camps to increase awareness about clubfoot. Camps are organised in Pune, Ahmednagar, Satara and Baramati. Every year we hold a get together of all children who have been treated with clubfoot. This is a parent get together where parents and children interact with each other. These interactions help in solving their problems and also alley their fears and misconceptions. Children come forward and share their success stories. We also come to know about the hard ships that parents have to go during the treatment. We treat poor patients free of cost. Through this trust we have treated more than 100 children free of cost. We also organize fund raising activity by collaborating with Tata Mumbai Marathon and United Way of Mumbai. Many runners have run for our trust to create awareness and raise funds.
