An orthopaedic hospital close to Chandigarh
Chandigarh has many hospitals and clinics, and choosing where to have your knee, hip, fracture or spine treated is a big decision. Many families in Chandigarh choose Cheema Medical Complex (CMC Hospital), a multispeciality hospital that has served the Tricity since 1988, just across the border in Mohali.
To be clear about where we are: Cheema Medical Complex has one hospital, on Mohali Stadium Road near the BSNL Telephone Exchange, Phase 4, Sector 59, Mohali. We do not have a branch or clinic in Chandigarh. Patients from Chandigarh travel to us for consultations, surgery and follow-up.

Why patients from Chandigarh come to us

- Orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Gaurav Jain, MBBS, MS (Orthopaedics), FISM (Spain), whose work covers joint replacement, trauma, sports injuries and spine problems.
- A family hospital since 1988, known across Mohali and the Tricity.
Orthopaedic treatments for Chandigarh patients
Knee and hip replacement
For arthritis that no longer responds to medicines and physiotherapy, we offer total and partial knee replacement surgery and hip replacement surgery, with physiotherapy starting in hospital. For Chandigarh patients, we plan the follow-up visits so you travel only when needed.
Fractures and accident injuries
Road accidents and falls do not wait for working hours. Our fracture and trauma care runs around the clock, with X-ray and CT on site, plaster, and fracture surgery when needed.
Sports injuries and keyhole surgery
Chandigarh has a big sporting community, from school and college teams to runners, cricketers and gym-goers. For ACL tears, meniscus tears and shoulder dislocations, see arthroscopy and ACL surgery.
Back and neck pain
Long commutes and desk jobs mean a lot of back and neck pain. Our spine and back pain treatment starts with a proper diagnosis and physiotherapy, with surgery only when it is needed.
Planning your visit from Chandigarh
- Call 8054922340 to book a time at the orthopaedic OPD (Monday to Saturday, 10:30 am to 5:00 pm), or book online.
- Bring your reports: X-rays, MRI or CT scans, previous prescriptions and a list of your current medicines.
- Check the route on Google Maps before you leave, as travel time depends on traffic.
- For planned surgery, ask the desk about admission timings, what to bring, and which insurance and TPA plans are accepted.
- For an emergency, come straight to the hospital and call on the way.
After your treatment
Recovery from joint replacement, fracture surgery or ligament repair involves physiotherapy and a few follow-up visits. The team will tell you which visits need to be at the hospital, such as wound checks and follow-up X-rays. Ask about physiotherapy timings that suit your travel.
Coming from Chandigarh for planned surgery
For a planned operation such as a knee or hip replacement, most of the preparation can be done in one or two visits: the consultation, blood tests, ECG, X-rays and a fitness check by the physician. On the day of surgery you come in at the time the desk gives you. Ask the desk about attendant and visiting rules and what to pack.
Before you go home, the physiotherapy team makes sure you can walk safely with support, manage the toilet and climb a few steps. You get a date for the wound check and a home exercise plan. Plan the car journey back with a cushion and a seat position that keeps the operated leg comfortable.
For elderly parents living in Chandigarh
Many of our patients from Chandigarh are older parents brought in by their children. Knee arthritis, hip fractures after falls, back pain and osteoporosis are common. Because Cheema Medical Complex is a multispeciality hospital, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart and kidney problems are looked after in the same building as the orthopaedic care, which makes visits simpler for the family.
For working professionals and students
Back and neck pain from long hours at a desk, sports injuries from weekend games and gym training, and fractures from road accidents are common reasons younger patients from Chandigarh see us. The OPD runs through the working day, Monday to Saturday, and the emergency covers nights, Sundays and holidays.
In an emergency
For a road accident, a fall or a suspected fracture anywhere in Chandigarh, come to the Cheema Medical Complex emergency and call 8054922340 on the way, so the team is ready when you arrive. For a serious accident with heavy bleeding, a head injury or breathing difficulty, call an ambulance and go to the nearest emergency.
A note on choosing a hospital
When comparing hospitals, ask each one the same questions: who will do the operation, what implant or technique is recommended and why, what the full estimate includes, how physiotherapy is arranged, and what happens if you need help at night after you go home. A good hospital will answer them all clearly.
