Biography
Dr K. Mohan Iyer did his MCPS (1971) from the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Mumbai, India; MBBS (1971) from the University of Mumbai; D’Orth. and FCPS Orth. (1975) from the College of Physicians and Surgeons; MS Orth. (1978) from the University of Mumbai; and M. Ch. Orth. (1981) from the University of Liverpool, UK. During this time, he wrote three theses on fractures of the patella, excision arthroplasty of the elbow, and excision of the trapezium for carpometacarpal arthritis of the thumb.
From 1971 to 1972, Dr Iyer was with K.E.M. Hospital, Mumbai, India, on a resident-rotating internship. His other nonorthopaedic appointments were as resident house surgeon in general surgery (1973–1974), K.E.M. Hospital, and as SHO (1976), East Birmingham Hospital, UK. His orthopaedic appointments were as resident house surgeon in orthopaedics (1973) and resident registrar orthopaedics (teaching post; 1974–1976), K.E.M. Hospital, and as registrar in orthopaedics (1976–1977), Dryburn Hospital, Durham, UK, in addition to numerous other locum consultant and specialist registrar jobs.
Dr Iyer has presented numerous papers at state, national, and international conferences in Singapore and Bangkok. He was in charge of the teaching program in orthopaedics for undergraduate students and an examiner for the MBBS degree at the University of Bangalore, India. He has also carried out a wide range of operative work on all kinds of major fractures, as well as arthroscopy of the knee, spinal surgery, and elbow and total hip replacements, and has published numerous articles and book chapters. He has done original research work, as can be seen on his website kmohaniyer.com, and has been instrumental in devising a modified posterior approach to the hip joint, which he has been following from 1981 till today.
In 2008, Dr Iyer moved back to his home town, Bengaluru, Indi
This monumental volume, of which K. Mohan Iyer is the editor, was written by several authors. It contains more than 500 pages and provides a comprehensive cover of the hip joint in 15 broad chapters. After a rather brief embryological and anatomical description, the author studies the biomechanics defining the forces applied to the femoral head in particular. Each condition is studied thoroughly with clinical diagnosis, epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and classifications, including the recommended treatments and complications. Each chapter ends with a rich reference list. In conclusion, this book is truly a bible of the current medical and surgical state of knowledge regarding the hip joint. It should be on the shelves of every specialist in the field (orthopaedic surgeons, trauma surgeons, rheumatologists, may they be senior or in training), or at least it should be accessible electronically.
