Paediatric Orthopaedics

17+ Years of Dedicated Orthopaedic and Spine Care
Dr. Kale Rohit Vasant is a Consultant Orthopaedic and Endoscopic Spine Surgeon at Vivekananda Hospital, Begumpet, Hyderabad. With over 17 years of clinical experience, he brings deep expertise in both spine surgery and general orthopaedics, treating patients across all age groups from paediatric fractures to complex adult spinal conditions.
He completed his MBBS from KJ Somaiyya Medical College and Research Centre, Mumbai (2004), one of western India's well-regarded medical institutions. His clinical training includes extensive work at Kamineni Hospitals in Hyderabad, where he developed his surgical skills across trauma management, spine surgery, and joint reconstruction.
Dr. Kale's primary focus is on endoscopic and minimally invasive spine surgery, where smaller incisions and advanced optical technology allow for precise treatment of disc herniations, spinal stenosis, and nerve compression while minimizing tissue damage and recovery time. For conditions that require more extensive intervention, he performs open spine surgeries including spinal fusion, deformity correction, and multi-level decompression.
Beyond spine surgery, Dr. Kale maintains active clinical practice in general orthopaedics, managing complex fractures, sports injuries, joint replacements, and paediatric orthopaedic conditions. His ability to treat the full spectrum of musculoskeletal problems makes him a comprehensive orthopaedic resource for patients at Vivekananda Hospital.
He is also a published author with books on diverse topics including human psychology and theoretical physics, reflecting his intellectual curiosity and analytical approach that extends beyond medicine into broader scientific inquiry.

Education and Professional Background
When Should You See a Spine Surgeon?
Most people with back or neck pain recover with rest, medication, and physiotherapy. However, certain symptoms indicate a deeper spinal problem that needs specialist evaluation. Dr. Kale Rohit Vasant recommends consulting a spine surgeon if you experience any of the following:
🚨 Seek Urgent Consultation
- Sudden numbness or weakness in legs or arms
- Loss of bladder or bowel control
- Severe pain after a fall or accident
- Difficulty walking or maintaining balance
📋 Schedule a Consultation
- Back or neck pain persisting beyond 4-6 weeks
- Pain radiating down leg (sciatica) or arm
- Tingling or pins-and-needles sensation
- Pain disturbing sleep regularly
- Back pain with unexplained weight loss or fever
- Medications and physiotherapy not helping
Early evaluation prevents permanent nerve damage. Many spine conditions that seem surgical at first glance can actually be managed without surgery if caught early. Dr. Kale evaluates every patient thoroughly before recommending any intervention, and always explores conservative treatment options first.
For paediatric patients, parents should watch for persistent limping, refusal to use an arm or leg after a fall, visible deformity, or complaints of bone or joint pain that don't resolve within a few days. Growth plate injuries in children need timely specialist attention to prevent long-term complications.
Spine and Orthopaedic Procedures Performed
Dr. Kale performs a range of spine and orthopaedic procedures at Vivekananda Hospital. His approach prioritizes conservative management first, moving to minimally invasive or open surgical options only when clinically necessary.
Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy
Removal of herniated disc material pressing on spinal nerves through a small endoscopic port (7-8 mm incision). The procedure is performed under local or light sedation, takes 45-90 minutes, and most patients go home the same day or next morning. Particularly effective for lumbar disc herniations causing sciatica.
Endoscopic Spinal Decompression
Endoscopic technique to relieve pressure on spinal cord or nerves caused by spinal stenosis, bone spurs, or thickened ligaments. Preserves more healthy tissue than traditional laminectomy. Suitable for patients with leg pain, claudication, or weakness due to narrowing of the spinal canal.
Minimally Invasive Spinal Fusion (MIS TLIF)
Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion performed through tubular retractors with percutaneous pedicle screw fixation. Used for spondylolisthesis, recurrent disc herniations, and segmental instability. Smaller incision, less muscle damage, reduced blood loss, and faster recovery compared to open fusion.
Cervical Spine Surgery (ACDF)
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion for cervical disc disease causing neck pain, arm pain, or myelopathy symptoms. The damaged disc is removed through a small incision in the front of the neck and replaced with a spacer to maintain disc height and allow bone fusion.
Vertebroplasty & Kyphoplasty
Percutaneous cement injection procedures for painful vertebral compression fractures, commonly seen in elderly patients with osteoporosis. Done under local anaesthesia with image guidance. Provides immediate pain relief and spinal stabilization. Most patients experience significant improvement within 24-48 hours.
Spinal Fracture Fixation
Surgical stabilization of traumatic spinal fractures using pedicle screws and rod systems. Includes fractures from road accidents, falls, and sports injuries. Performed as open or percutaneous procedure depending on fracture type and neurological status of the patient.
Spinal Tuberculosis Surgery
Surgical management of Pott's spine (spinal TB) when medical treatment alone is insufficient. Includes abscess drainage, debridement of infected tissue, and spinal stabilization. Often combined with anti-tubercular therapy for complete treatment. Common in Indian population and requires specialized surgical expertise.
Complex Fracture Management
Open reduction and internal fixation of complex fractures including periarticular fractures, long bone fractures, pelvic fractures, and paediatric fractures with growth plate involvement. Uses modern plating systems, intramedullary nails, and external fixators based on fracture pattern and patient factors.
What patients say about Dr. Kale
Patient Experiences
"I had severe sciatica for 8 months. Could not sit or walk properly. Dr. Kale recommended endoscopic surgery after trying medications first. I was walking the same evening after surgery. Pain completely gone."
- Santhosh"My mother (68 years) had a vertebral fracture from osteoporosis. Dr. Kale did kyphoplasty and she was pain-free the next day. Very gentle doctor who explains everything clearly to family."
- Rajeev"My 7-year-old son had a fracture while playing cricket. Dr. Kale handled the case with great care, explained the growth plate issue to us, and the healing was perfect. He is very patient with children."
- Venkateswara Rao"Neck pain and arm numbness for 3 months. Other doctors suggested immediate open surgery. Dr. Kale first tried conservative treatment, and when that didn't work, did minimally invasive procedure. Back to work in 2 weeks."
