Professor Bindra is an Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in surgery of the hand, wrist and peripheral nerve for all age groups, including paediatrics. Professor Bindra has received international training at the University of Mumbai, India, University of Liverpool, UK and Washington University in St Louis, USA. He holds Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons, Glasgow and the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, Melbourne. He is a Fellow of the Orthopaedic and Hand Surgery Societies of the UK, USA and Australia and currently Chair of Education Committee of the Australian Hand Surgery Society.
Professor Bindra is internationally recognised for helping people with hand and wrist problems caused by injury, arthritis, or nerve compression conditions. He treats fractures from falls and work injuries, as well as more complex damage to bones, tendons, and nerves after major trauma. When fractures don’t heal properly, he performs corrective surgery to restore alignment and function. He offers keyhole (minimally invasive) surgery for wrist injuries and joint replacement surgery for advanced arthritis of the fingers, thumb, and wrist. He especially enjoys helping athletes recover from sporting injuries and patients regain pain‑free movement when arthritis affects the ability to enjoy retirement. Professor Bindra also treats nerve compression conditions such as carpal and cubital tunnel syndrome and performs microsurgery for nerve repair and circulation issues in the hand. He works closely with skilled hand therapists to ensure each patient receives complete care and rehabilitation, supporting a safe return to work and the activities they love.
