Deepak Goyal is largely credited with bringing the cartilage science to the Indian subcontinent in 2005. He is founder of Indian Cartilage Society, President of Asian Cartilage Repair Society and Immediate Past Secretary of International Cartilage Repair Society. His special interests lie in Cartilage repair and Patella Instability. He has many innovations to his credit like ‘the superficial quad technique’ for MPFL reconstruction, ‘the overlay ACI technique’ to treat large cartilage lesions with bony defects, Suture based implants for Patellar Osteochondral chip fracture fixation and ‘dynamic 3D printing of knee’ for patella instability cases. Recently he had a published a marvellous book on cartilage repair- The Illustrative Book of Cartilage Repair-. The book is probably the largest collection of high-quality colour images (>700) on cartilage repair. Prof. Goyal’s relentless dedication to cartilage repair has significantly raised regional awareness. Affectionately known among peers as “Mr. Unstoppable,” Prof. Goyal continues to inspire generations of orthopaedic surgeons across the globe.
