Foreword
It was a pleasure of going through the pages of this highly informative well-
presented book entitled Essentials of Orthopedics written by Dr RM Shenoy
whom I had the pleasure of knowing him since his childhood and later as a
student and now a revered colleague.
He has an inborn dominant gene of a writer and a leader. His mother an
award winning writer of short stories and poems and father a grass root social
worker of repute.
I am sure this book will be a beacon of light and guide for undergraduates
to understand orthopedics and the postgraduates to have their basics well
forwarded and to the practicing surgeons as a ready reckoner.
I am sure this book will find a place in the shelf of every Orthopedic
Surgeon.
I wish Dr Ravi all the best in his endeavors and may the good God bless him in all his endeavors.

Good Wishes
Professor RM Shenoy is a teacher par excellence and committed to his
profession. His dedication to academic activities is worth appreciating. He is
an innovative Orthopedic Surgeon who is highly disciplined and meticulous
in his work. He likes to improve the current status of medicine, always
aiming at perfection. He expects the same from his pupils too. His original
research of developing a single incision for exposure of forearm fracture
speaks of his capabilities. This was published in the Journal of Bone and Joint
Surgery, British 1995;77B(4):568-70. I find it to be an extremely good and
a cosmetic exposure. The book Essentials of Orthopedics written by him is going to be a boon for
both undergraduates and postgraduates as well as practicing Orthopedic Consultants. As a teacher,
I am thrilled to see one of my pupils Prof RM Shenoy, reaching great heights and carving out a
niche for himself among the Orthopedic Surgeons. I wish him good luck and expect many more
innovative things from him in future.
