Notable Cases Handled
Dr. Akshay Tiwari is celebrated for performing a rare Rotationplasty on a young child with bone cancer in the knee. This complex procedure allowed the child to retain an active lifestyle, including playing sports, using a prosthetic limb. He is also noted for successfully treating a massive pelvic tumour using Internal Hemipelvectomy with computer navigation, preserving the patient's leg which would have otherwise required amputation.

Patient Testimonials

"My 12-year-old son was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma. We were told by other doctors that amputation was the only option. Dr. Akshay Tiwari performed a Limb Salvage Surgery using a special implant. Today, my son walks to school. We are forever indebted to this top musculoskeletal oncologist in India." – Mrs. R. Gupta

"I had a recurrent Giant Cell Tumour in my wrist. Dr. Tiwari used computer navigation to remove it precisely without damaging my hand function. His confidence and expertise gave me hope when I had none. The facilities at Max Hospital are excellent." – Anita S.

"Dr. Akshay is not just a surgeon; he is a visionary. He treated my father's metastatic bone disease with such care, improving his quality of life significantly. His team is professional and empathetic." – Vikram S.

Patient-Centred Care
Dr. Akshay Tiwari leads a team that adheres strictly to evidence-based principles combined with innovations individualised to the patient's needs. His core philosophy is to completely remove the disease while maintaining the form and function of the affected limb, ensuring the patient leads a normal life post-cancer.

Technology & Innovation
Dr. Tiwari is a strong proponent of using Computer Navigation in tumour resection. This technology acts like a GPS for the surgeon, ensuring precise removal of the cancer while sparing critical nerves and blood vessels, which is crucial for successful Limb Salvage Surgery.
