Dr. Saurabh Aggarwal

Dr. Saurabh Aggarwal is a specialist orthopaedic surgeon focused exclusively on shoulder, elbow, and hand conditions. He trained in India initially, then moved to London in 2005 where he spent 18 years developing expertise in upper limb surgery. He completed advanced fellowships at Kings College Hospital, one of Europe's leading trauma centres, where he trained intensively in shoulder, elbow, and wrist arthroscopy. Most recently, he was appointed as a consultant at Princess Royal University Hospital in London before joining Burjeel in Abu Dhabi. He is passionate about upper limb surgery because of the immediate impact it can have on patients' quality of life and function.

Dr. Aggarwal treats a comprehensive range of shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand conditions using both keyhole (arthroscopic) and open surgical techniques. His shoulder expertise includes rotator cuff repairs, shoulder replacements, dislocations, and fractures of the upper arm bone. For the elbow, he manages arthritis, tennis elbow, nerve compression, and complex fractures. In the wrist and hand, he performs carpal tunnel release, trigger finger surgery, fracture repairs, and tendon transfers for nerve injuries. He uses modern evidence-based approaches and has particular expertise in minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery.

Dr. Aggarwal is a good fit for patients with complex upper limb injuries or conditions requiring specialist surgical expertise, those seeking keyhole surgery options, and athletes with shoulder or elbow injuries.
